Ex-NFL star Antonio Brown is a man with many professional hats. After his controversial exit from the NFL, AB has been focusing on branching out and testing different career options. He initially started his post-NFL career as a musician, releasing his debut rap album ‘Paradigm’. After this, Antonio Brown also acquired the National Arena League team the Albany Empire, becoming the owner of the franchise. But his debut saw it riddled with controversies, after being accused of improper handling of the players and the coaches. The Albany Empire also has had a dismal performance ever since Brown’s arrival.

Now, it seems like the ex-NFL star has his gaze set on another opportunity that has presented itself. And with this opportunity, Antonio Brown sees himself partnering up with Skip Bayless for their show, which has been on air since 2016.

Recently, Shannon Sharpe announced that he is making his exit from FS1 and the show Undisputed, which he co-hosted with Skip Bayless for seven years.

Sharpe quits his Undisputed role

Recently, 3X Super Bowl winner turned analyst Shannon Sharpe announced that he and Fox Sports have reached a buyout agreement, which means that he will no longer be a part of the UNDISPUTED show after the NBA 2023 finals in June. With the details of his exit still unclear, many believe that it comes from a long-standing disagreement between the two over the Damar Hamlin incident which happened earlier in January. After Hamlin’s cardiac arrest, Bayless and Sharpe had a heated exchange about how Bayless’s tweet offended the 3X Super Bowl champ and how he should take it down. But Skip Bayless stood by his word and even cut off Sharpe during the middle of his monologue, causing publicly visible friction between the two.
