Keyshawn Johnson set for debut as Skip Bayless’ new ‘Undisputed’ partner after ESPN buyout

Earlier in the week, Bayless announced Johnson would be part of the show’s new team that includes contributors Richard Sherman, Michael Irvin and Rachel Nichols.

Rachel Nichols will appear on FS1's “Undisputed” opposite Skip Bayless, per sources.

Richard Sherman is joining FS1 to spar with Skip Bayless on “Undisputed” in the wake of Shannon Sharpe’s departure from the program, The Post has learned.

Sherman will go at it with Bayless on around 50-100 shows per year, mostly during football season.

He will remain on Amazon Prime Video’s “Thursday Night Football” studio show.

Richard Sherman has emerged as a candidate to be Skip Bayless’ partner on FS1’s “Undisputed,” The Post has learned.

In the wake of Shannon Sharpe leaving the program after seven years, FS1 is in the midst of finding Bayless’ new partner.


quote:

Bayless and Sherman have a history together, dating back more than a decade ago on ESPN’s “First Take.”

Sherman, then a player and a guest on the program, told Bayless to “address me as All-Pro Stanford graduate.”

Sherman added that Bayless “had never accomplished anything.”

Bayless shot back that he had “accomplished more in [media]” than Sherman had in football.

I guess breaking into homes wasn’t as lucrative?

Pretty sure Sports Clips is their #1 ratings draw.

Tons of people will upvote you but with the salaries these guys make the answer is: tons of people watch it or they wouldn’t be on TV with million dollar contracts.

I’ll catch clips on YouTube (because unlike most of those people I have a job) when they talk about something that relates to the Saints, Pels, or LSU.

Skip would be an idiot to go along with this. It won’t last and when it’s over, Skip debate shows will be done.

Undisputed is watched by like 150,000 people. Skip's salary in relation to it's ratings is a terrible investment.

How many people are watching TV at 9 am Central Time during the work week? I’m sure they get a decent market share at that time or they wouldn’t be getting paid what they do.

Once again I’m not a big Skip Bayless or Screaming A sympathizer but the fact of the matter is those guys get eyeballs to their networks relative to other shows at that time slot or they wouldn’t get paid what they get paid. Is what it is. They’re competing with The Price is Right and Springer Reruns.

I think if you’re in their target audience, you’d watch just about any sports show in that time slot.

If I were at home watching TV at 10am, I’d probably watch whatever espn was showing. That’s why bayless and smith are bad investments.

Millions. Way more than 150K.

A 0.06 rating

Price is Right gets roughly 21 times the viewers.

FS1 also has interest in Keyshawn Johnson, according to sources.

If there’s one thing the sports world needs it’s another borderline illiterate former player giving unsolicited opinions.
