shannon handled his split from skip like a gentleman, cant say the same about stephen a and his treatment of max

Why don’t you interview max kellerman and ask the real questions we want to know.

I am very happy for Shannon to be on ESPN with First Take but those 7 years at FS1 were amazing. There will never be another show like Skip and Shannon on Undisputed.

Skip should invite Max to his podcast.

Shannon is the reason I started watching First Take again on days he is on. Shannon is a class act. Thank you Shannon for coming back.

I honestly miss Shannon on Undisputed. It isn't the same without him. I think it's sad but speaks to the professionalism Shannon has to not talk bad about Skip. I think Skip was ungrateful for the work Shannon put in and put up with him for 7 years. After Skip disrespected him everyone knew it was the end.

Way to keep the heat off of you Stephen A!

Shannon Sharpe is a class act, and always has been.

This is all kind of ironic. Stephen A had a similar relationship with Max Kellerman and he did the same thing Skip did. SAS and Skip are one in the same. The only difference is that SAS presents himself as a better dude.

It's honestly sad to hear that Skip and Shannon didn't develop a relationship that was outside of work. Thry certainly masked it well because of the camaraderie they had 95% of the time. Its weird to think that they were just like most of us who punch in and out of work without being all that tight with our coworkers.

You know while skip may say some crazy shit on air. He keeps his life proffesional and doesnt get into beefs with anybody and doesnt diss nobody off air. SAS been doing the exact opposite . He lowkey been trying to hate on skip and be getting into fight with everybody lol. Skip is wild but he is professionally wild lol

Skip was treating this like a competition Shannon was treating it like a partnership They werent on the same page from the jump but they did a good job of masking it for 6 years

Damn all this time I thought Shannon and Skip were actual friends outside of work

Wow Skip really meant what he said about his work routine. I thought it was all bulljive lol. I am a little sad to hear Skip never had any real relationship with Shannon outside of work. They were a great duo!

It's the year 2031 Skip is doing his last show on Undisputed Steven A is his last debate partner the final topic is about his time in sports media & the memories he had & as the show is coming to an end; Shannon sharpe sneaks behind Skip & says ..... "But you know And the thing is Skip " 😂😂😂😂😂

If Stephen a is really about giving the people what they want give max a interview and talk about how things went down because that’s what we want I want to hear max side of the story

I knew Shannon was must see TV from watching him on the first year of Hard Knocks. He always have had the best one liners and Also I was a Broncos fans because of him TD and Elway. I'm glad he has been able to express himself

Beautiful hearing him name all the names.. and the detailed interactions with them. Thats a description of substance not surface of cliche responses. Thats Beautiful

even tho we know Stephen A and Skip were the ones running First Take and Undisputed, it was Max Kellerman and Shannon Sharpe who were the ones that made people tune in to both shows everyday...

It actually surprises me that they didn't have any kind of relationship outside of work. They seemed to have so much chemistry. I kind of assumed that they would occasionally hang out outside of work and what not.

One small thing I noticed was when Shannon named all the people that worked behind the scenes at FS1 and teared up about the finality of leaving people he described as his family, the first thing Stephen A says is well you said nothing about Skip. There was real human vulnerability there and it seemed like he was just waiting for Shannon to say something negative about Skip. Maybe im overthinking though.

Seems like SAS kind of instigating shit

Stephen A such an instigator. "You do realize that in that lengthy answer you didn't mention Skip Bayless, not once".

This is perfectly relatable. Sometimes a work relationship can be just that. We work together to get the job done and don't need to socialize. If you show me you don't want to be friendly, then I'll reciprocate. Stephen A is a snake for working behind the scenes to get Max fired.

Stephen A trying to take the heat off him very very smart guy😂

I can see Shannon either running First Take or Undisputed someday as the headliner.. He is that dude.

Y'all clicked on the video but tired of hearing about it? Doesn't make sense.

Shannon to First Take is like KD to the Warriors

You can tell Shannon still misses being on Undisputed !

Man, they just can’t get skip and undisputed out of their mouth

NGL. I feel like Stephen A is asking Shannon sharpe to tell his side of the story. But please make this the last time. It’s getting dragged at this point.

Dang thats crazy to know cause tbh shannons and skips chemistry in the first six years is better than shannons and stephen a's would ever be and i know its early but it just dont feel the same

Funny how Skip put these 2 dudes on and got them to where there at now

I’m actually surprised skip and Shannon had a strictly work relationship throughout all those years

This seems more and more like the media version of the Bellichek Brady split

Lol would be funny if Skip interviews Max next week.

Im so glad Shannon said this! Skip didnt make him, but instead extended a mutually beneficial opportunity on the show. Shannon had worked on TV before and had all that personality + was qualified to talk sports at a high level. Skip saw that and thats why he wanted him. He didn't do him a favor tho, it's a job and Shannon is great at it

Verbal abuse can be worse than a physical altercation!

This was a hell of a tough day for me a truck driver realized I'm like my grandfather or grandmother or MA stuck on my shows from general hospital to grandpa Sanford and Sons sorry SA I waited for replay of you and Max you were 100% RIGHT to change format but when I found out UNC WAS COMING TO FIRST TAKE I FELT ALMOST LIKW FLOYD MAYWEATHER IN A GENTALMENS CLUB XCEPT I KNOW I'D FELL BETTA!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

Love U Shannon!

Stephen A Smith mad he cant make stars like Skip...Skip a legend

Talk your talk Unc!!

Max Kellerman needs an interview!

Is when u lay ya head on that pillow 😂😂😂

Shannon u have the culture and the hood with u. You'll be alright u a real one

Skip once commented that he doesn't have a relationship with his own brother who is a famous chef, so I take it he's always been a loner

Sports Debating died when he left, period. Him and Stephen A isn't like him and Skip. It's like what Jim Cornette said about Luger, Sting and Flair. Flair vs Luger would sale , Sting vs Flair would sale but Luger vs Sting could never match without Flair 🤷‍♂️ not a Skip fan but he bought the best out of both of them and in a perfect world the 3 of them should do something unheard of and promotion alliance with fs1 and espn name the show first disputed and kill the market have Shannon sit in chair one Skip in the middle and Stephen A in chair 3. No women just them 3 and they'll have 7 million listeners a day!

Can we review Max Kellerman’s last day?

I want a regular Show with skip unc and SAS in one table

SAS can't stop talking about Skip

I get that. I have had coworkers who want to separate work and their personal life. I don’t see anything wrong with that and I don’t think Shannon did either

SAS did even showed up on Max last day….he should know how it feels from the management

SAS is a snake.

Stephen A pulled what Kobe Byrant would do. Kobe said he found OKC a threat because of Russ, James, KD and Segie. He admitted he told russ you don't have to pass the ball to them. He helped break them up. Stephen A did the same thing. Pull up old interviews during the time Skip and Shannon was having issues. Stephen A during interviews would say he reached out to skip to see if he is ok and to speak with him. Skip never got back to him. Stephen A saw he couldn't get skip so then reached out to Shannon and Shannon got back to them. Prior to this look it up, Stephen A wanted to hook back up with Skip; they were talking about it and then talks ended and Skip re-upped his contract with FS1. I think Stephen A wanted one of them and he was able to get shannon. He is using Shannon. All this we are new best friends that go to games and all that shit is only going to last for so long.

Shay don’t give himself enough credit .. him and Tony Gonzalez were the two TEs of that era .. he most def was known.. and I mean social media of course will make you bigger nowadays but shay always been known .. I think he be letting these trolls get to him sometimes

Can we get shannon stephen A and mad dog russo on a consistent basis & at the same time would be the best show by far

Mr. Sharpe's time & efforts sure did shine on through on Undisputed. ... Every time I saw it at least. He won me over. ... And as a 45yo lifelong Patriots fan, that was no easy task. My TV now goes to First Take each Mon & Tues morning. .... Separately, I see in the comments talk on Max Kellerman. ... Surprised anyone cares about all that. Show wasn't very good with him, IMO. .... 🤔 ... LoL, is the whole reason I even discovered the FS1 channel & initially started watching Undisputed. Anyhow, thanks for the insights fellas. Best wishes - 🤘

Skip is one cold dude ti fire u cuz u ain put yo glasses on and cuz u stood up to skip 😂🤦🏽‍♂️

Wow, Stephen A is really snaking on Skip with these interviews. Skip has shown nothing but love for Stephen A, and by participating in these expose all private interviews SAS is really throwing shade on Skip really hard. Shannon has a right to share his side of the story, but does SAS's show really need to be the platform for this. Really feels like a pile on.

there should be a show with Max & Skip

Skip should interview Max Kellerman.

Shannon is too emotional and honest. SAS is playing him here solely for SAS's benefit, further proving he's just a classless human being

Lol now Skip needs to interview Max

This is just getting sad. Stephen A reminding us that he’s a real friend and all this talking about Skip when he hasn’t said a word and moved on. My fav part is when Shannon said Skip would go in a zone and keep to himself. That makes me like Skip even more cause he appears genuine. You guys won, now please change the topic for the long time Undisputed fans.

Shannon is one of the best people in the world. I would've been slapped Skip. 🤣

Should have T.O on the pod. Would do crazy numbers.

Skip should bring on max and ask the same thing lol

DAMNNNNN 🤬, SHANNON was there a “POOKIE🧔🏽‍♂️” !!!😏😱🤯😜🤣🔥💯😎

I’d love to see Max on here 😅

Skip Bayliss should interview Max Kellerman 💪💪💪

I think the problem with Shannon and skip , it became an issue of skip being just a jerk to Shannon. I can tell Shannon seems like a very good guy and skip seems like the type person that would give you a chance and like you for many years but eventually will get tired of being around you and start to diss you. The situation with max and Stephan A was that max was a a very chill guy and who didn’t like confrontations and he was very educated and I think max was just not very loud guy and he seems very calm. The other issue was that a lot of black athletes respected max more than than Stephen A. I can tell it rubbed Stephen A the wrong way.

Skip didn’t talk to Shannon pre/ post show nor during breaks in order to preserve the show’s quality. If u talk about stuff outside show hrs, you may run out of ideas when the lights are on. Skip knew what he was doing… he’s been in this business for 20 yrs.

Stephen A Smith loves bringing up Skips name into this. But mention Max Kellerman and he shakes in his boots

Last day looked relieved, Hall of Fame Now cane breathe , tension had to be Playful!

Interview Max bro

For the next guest on the show, WE WANT IGUADOLA

He needs a movie of his life

Y'all helped him just as much as he did stop praising him you guys made him relevant I could care less about his body of work

@StephenA is really living his messy era. Seems like Skip treated Shannon like StephenA treated Max.

Skip should interview Max.

We want Max on. He's a real class act and deserves better. If you're really about it then have him on sas.

Undisputed fucked up big time letting Shannon go. You know it’s real love when you list damn near EVERYONE who worked in the building. Now Unc brought the love to First take.

Stephen A. think he slick.. he's engaging in this Cold War with Skip..every chance he gets he tries to steer Shannon into slandering that man lol.. Then at @6:49 he asked "why not?" As in why didn't Shannon and Skip have a deeper relationship off camera when in another video Stephen A also said, "he's always been that way" dude asking questions he already know the answer to

The fact that he remembers they name

I hope skip bayless interviews max Kellerman next. 😁 🤣

Shannon is already bigger than SAS with the newer generation. I only watch first take on youtube because of Shannon Sharpe. Hopefully SAS don't become jealous and treat him like he did to Max Kellerman.

Them young bucks ain’t know you us ol head very well know who you are 👍🏾🤜🏾🤛🏾🤝🏾

Why do they keep talking about this? Shannon has been ADAMENT about Qbs "YOUR IN A BETTER SITUATION QUIT TALKING ABOUT YOUR OLD TEAM,GO BE HAPPY" Welp do as i say not as i do for clicks.

they seemed as if they had a relationship outside of work . the chemistry on the tv was great . thats weirr

Shannon teaching me how to sound when I no longer fw niggas 💯

Stephen A....acting like he came to shannon's rescue but what about Maxxxx Stephen A The way you did him ..he shudda had a meeting with you and the bosses about how he shouldn't be disrespected!!!!!!!! Wat happened to Shannon is EXACTLY wat you did to max C'mon now

Stephen A passing the hot potatoe

Funny we talking about what Skip did to Shannon which was the same thing SA did to Max😂

What this tells me is that skip will be an unbearable miserable person when they have to come take that show from him. They're one outstanding personality from killing that man.

While Shannon is grateful for the opportunity Skip gave him, he has no love for him. The respect is there but the love/fondness is not.

Every break he would leave.. translates to why skip is always sniffing..

Skip messed up so bad

That would explain why they had some over blown takes. They had no outside relationship. I think skip regrets it. I hope one day all 3 are in a room together and just talk

Comments section are FOOLS. You guys want Max Kellerman and TO on the podcast but the ULTIMATE SAS guest is none other than the legendary Slava Medvedenko.

Interview Max
