Shannon Sharpe Skipped FS1 Show Over Skip Bayless’ Damar Hamlin Tweet

Skip Bayless hosted Tuesday early morning’s episode of ‘Undisputed’ alone, without Shannon Sharpe, and it was no mishap … we’re informed the Hall of Famer was disturbed with the opinionated television host’s questionable tweet sent out minutes after Damar Hamlin‘s heart stopped throughout MNF.

And, TMZ Sports is informed the network — which desires Sharpe back as quickly as possible — does not understand if he will go back to deal with Wednesday.

The debate began when Bayless tweeted … “No doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game – but how? This late in the season, a game of this magnitude is crucial to the regular-season outcome … which suddenly seems so irrelevant.”

The reaction came quickly and intensely … with everybody from fans to present and previous star professional athletes like Darrelle Revis, Dez Bryant, “Sauce” Gardner and others entering on Skip.

In the wake of criticism, and less than an hour after his initial message, Bayless tried to clarify his point, composing … “Nothing is more important than that young man’s health. That was the point of my last tweet. I’m sorry if that was misunderstood but his health is all that matters. Again, everything else is irrelevant. I prayed for him & will continue to.”

But, plainly, it wasn’t enough for his partner, Shannon … ’cause when ‘Undisputed’ went live Tuesday early morning, Sharpe was no place to be discovered.

Some hypothesized Shannon might’ve merely had the day of rest, however our sources inform us that’s not the case — this was a direct response to Bayless’ tweet.

A couple of minutes into the show, Skip relatively attempted to clarify without straight resolving the factor behind Shannon’s lack, stating, “Obviously, my partner, Shannon Sharpe, is not here today. I look forward to seeing him tomorrow.”

Bayless likewise began the show informing the audience he was going to (effort to) approach the show as he would any other weekday … though he wasn’t sure if he’d have the ability to survive the psychological subject.

“I apologize for what we’ve set out to do if it offends anyone because we’re going to try to do the show pretty much as we usually do the show but I’ll admit upfront, I’m still shook up by what happened last night to Damar Hamlin.”

Skip continued … “In fact, I’m still wrecked. In fact, I’m not sure I’m capable of doing this show today but after barely sleeping on it, I decided to give it a try. Maybe I’ll fail, maybe we will fail but we’re going to try.”
