Skip Bayless has remained a big figure in the world of media over the last few decades.

Bayless also earned the reputation for being one of the harshest critics in the NBA media.

Former NFL star Shannon Sharpe became a co-host with Skip Bayless on FS1’s Undisputed in 2016.

The two had plenty of great debates throughout their seven-year stint on the show.

But their time together ended earlier this year following Sharpe’s decision to leave the show.

Sharpe recently shared via NBACentral on Twitter how Bayless disrespected him during an argument about Tom Brady on Undisputed.

“It took a lot for me not to put my hands on him, it actually did,” Sharpe said.

Sharpe went as far as saying that he barely contained himself from physically assaulting Bayless at times.

The former Undisputed analyst referred to the moment when Bayless disrespected him by comparing his career to Tom Brady’s.

The veteran analyst insulted Sharpe by saying he had to retire at the age of 35, while Brady continued playing well into his 40s.

For starters, it is completely useless to compare two players who played in different eras.

On top of that, Sharpe wasn’t a bust as opposed to how Bayless depicted him during the furious rant.

Sharpe is in the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame, which is an epitome to his achievements during his NFL career.

All things considered, there were times when Bayless crossed the line, and Sharpe had to contain his anger.

No doubt that the two had unremarkable chemistry on the show, but it takes a lot more than that to work together.

If Bayless had shown respect to Sharpe, things could have ended differently.
