Last month Shannon Sharpe was cut from Fox Sports Undisputed leaving Skip Bayless to find a new host [click here if you missed that].
Now Undisputed in on hiatus...
From Sports Illustrated
Skip Bayless’s Undisputed sports debate show hasn’t aired a new episode since Shannon Sharpe left as co-host last month. Fox Sports says the show will return to its FS1 channel on Aug. 28, while Bayless says he is “in the lab this summer” just like LeBron James.
However, it doesn’t appear as if the hiatus was planned too far in advance. Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports reports Fox Sports is struggling to find a replacement for Sharpe, and the hiatus is merely to give the network more time to fill the role.
“Skip has never done anything like this during all his years at FS1 or ESPN,” a source told McCarthy. “Not being on the air during all these NBA moves is killing him.”
