Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless are headed towards their inevitable divorce.
Fox Sports announced this week that Sharpe would be leaving the daily two and a half hour yelling fest after the NBA Finals. Sharpe’s ears and vocal chords could not be reached for comment, but released a statement saying they are looking forward to some R&R.
So, what options does Sharpe have for his immediate future now that he’s leaving Bayless all alone in the Fox Sports studios in LA?
Most likely, we’re looking at a move to another network or continuing his podcast. Sharpe previously worked for CBS before hopping over to Fox, so a potential reunion there. Maybe ESPN, who knows. A lot of options out there in the content game.
Coaching is always a possibility. Sharpe had a Hall of Fame career with the Broncos and Ravens, so he knows a thing or two about a thing or two about football.
Sharpe is absolutely ripped, like shredded from marble. Why not look into the security industry? Uncle Shannon rides as hard as anyone for LeBron James. A guy like James can always use protection; it may be a perfect fit for an absolutely jacked retired athlete with some free time on his hands. He also basically already applied for the job.
Finally, Sharpe could get daily colonoscopies for medical research. This would be a fine option, due to the fact that it could help scientific research and sounds more enjoyable than spending 12.5 hours with Skip Bayless every week.
