Shannon Sharpe made his return to the “Undisputed” set after missing Tuesday’s episode on the co-host Pass without bay‘controversial tweet about Damar Hamlinthe medical emergency of… and it only took 40 seconds before an argument broke out.
Shannon kicked off Wednesday’s show by addressing Hamlin’s situation in her opening monologue… saying, “Watching that game on Monday night, what happened to Damar Hamlin struck me a little differently.”
Sharpe explained that he had seen his NFL brothers suffer serious injuries throughout his career … but added that seeing someone had to be revived in the field was a completely different experience.
Shannon then addressed Bayless’ tweet head-on…which Skip said wasn’t supposed to happen.
“Skip tweeted something and although I disagree with the tweet – and I hope Skip deletes it.”
Bayless immediately interrupted her co-host… saying, “Time out – I’m not going to take it down because I stand by what I tweeted.”
Sharpe was clearly pissed off at Skip’s intervention…replying, “I can’t even finish a monologue without you interrupting.”
The Hall of Famer went on to explain the reason he missed Tuesday’s show… saying the discussion should be about Hamlin, not Skip’s tweet.
“Didn’t want to get into a situation yesterday where Damar Hamlin was the problem. We should have talked about him and not gotten into your tweet. That’s what I was going to do. But you can’t even let me finish my opening monologue without you interrupting me.”
Skip says he felt like his tweet wasn’t going to be discussed on the show … saying the producers didn’t have a problem with what he said.
As TMZ Sports announced Tuesday, Sharpe’s Absence was a direct response to Skip’s tweet … which Bayless said was not intended to undermine Hamlin’s severe medical scare.
