Following Sharpe’s comments, Skip Bayless said, “Shannon Sharpe, I know how much you love Aaron as a quarterback on the football field, during football games.” Skip continues, “But I gotta tell you, I got no use for him on and off the field because of this. Aaron Rodgers makes me even sicker than Kyrie makes me.”
