Richard Sherman is set to replace Shannon Sharpe as Skip Bayless‘ co-host on the FS1 “Undisputed” show, and Sherman will have the time of his life telling the very controversial Bayless that he is better than him.
According to reports, the 35-year-old football cornerback will make about 50 to 100 appearances on the show with Bayless while other guest hosts will also join in from time to time. Sherman and Bayless clashed on one of his shows, where Sherman told Bayless that he hasn’t achieved much in the world to have that much of an opinion. Undisputed, these two promise to be exciting with tireless debates that could even end with a fistfight sometimes.
The show is set to return on August 28 after going on a sudden hiatus due to difficulties in finding a replacement for Sharpe, who quit his position due to Bayless’their hostile relationship.
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.
Sherman’s FS1 contract is not signed yet, but an agreement is in place.
FS1 declined comment.
FS1 also has interest in Keyshawn Johnson, according to sources.
Johnson, the former No. 1 overall pick and 2002 Super Bowl winner, was recently part of the ESPN layoffs.
He had just completed the first year of a five-year, $18 million contract.
ESPN still owes him the rest of his money.
Richard Sherman famously went on ESPN’s ‘First Take’ in 2013 and endlessly trash talked Skip Bayless.
“In my 24 years of life, I’m better at life than you.”

Bayless announced on his podcast last week that the rapper Lil Wayne will also be part of the debating club, appearing on Fridays.
Sherman and Bayless had a run-in on Bayless’ old show, “First Take,” more than a decade ago.
Sherman at one point told Bayless he had never accomplished anything.
Bayless retorted that he had done more in media than Sherman had in football.
Anyway, the two met up last month at The Peninsula Beverly Hills hotel for a two-hour talk and it went well.
Now, Sherman and Bayless will be going at it on FS1.
Football fans are super excited for this clash. To them, Bayless will meet someone who could actually stand up to him without intimidation and may even kick him off the show just like he has helped kick others off.
