Shady could be getting a promotion, according to Michael McCarthy and AJ Perez at Front Office Sports:

“LeSean McCoy is emerging as an early possible contender to succeed Shannon Sharpe as Skip Bayless’ debate partner on “Undisputed.”

The former NFL star turned co-host of FS1’s “SPEAK” is expected to have an extended audition with the irascible Bayless once Sharpe takes his contractual buyout from Fox Sports, two sources with knowledge of the situation told Front Office Sports.” 

This is a recipe for disaster if you’re Skip Bayless. Shady doesn’t give a fuck on his current show. Remember when they were like, “Shady what do you think of Dak Prescott?” and he just blurted out “Dak is ass!” –

Could you imagine if that’s all he did when the Cowboys came up? It’d be like Cam’ron on Bill O’Reilly but instead of “You madddddd” it’s Shady just yelling “Dak is ass” while Skip Bayless tries to yell about QBR over top of him:

 

Could you imagine two of the biggest egomaniacs sitting across from each other everyday? It would be fireworks. I would give it two months before Skip says something dumb in a pre-show meeting and LeSean chokes him out Dylan style:

I just can’t imagine Shady succeeding when the job description says you can’t ever be better than your partner:

“Possible contenders should know they must check their ego before Bayless, the Godfather of sports TV debate. 

The 71-year-old Bayless will also have “final say” on Sharpe’s replacement, said sources. 

Bayless is not likely to sign off on any on-air talent who “challenges” him, said sources. Much less one who out-debates him during an extended tryouts, said sources.”
