"First Take's" ratings have exploded since Sharpe joined.
"There was no shtick involved in all those shows we did on Tim Tebow."
"We’ve been experimenting with me sort of wearing two hats through the show."
"Skip Bayless is trying to keep up with changing times in his 70s by opening the gates of hell to three generations of ‘this is the loudest Black guy who played football during his generation.’ Three generations of it."
"Skip Bayless was incredibly proud of his coverage of Tim Tebow, the bosses felt otherwise."
On the new and improved Undisputed, the ex-NFL panelists have completely taken over what once was Skip Bayless' domain.
"To get millions of views is how Skip stays in the game."
"I'm still grateful for our moment, Skip, because I think it was positive for both of us in the end."
"Other shows are also taking pages out of Stephen A.’s book."
"This is the greatest morning of my career, this is about to be the greatest show I have ever been a part of."
"Some of you damn trolls out there have acted like I’m supposed to be quaking in my boots."
"Johnson would need to reach an agreement with ESPN, and that has not happened yet."
"This guy has never stepped foot in the locker room and I know players aren’t talking to him."
"This is it? This is literally copying exactly what ESPN is doing."
"I just wish I’d known enough to sit down and actually have a heart to heart with Johnny. Maybe I could have helped."
Sherman will also remain on as an analyst on Amazon Prime Video’s “Thursday Night Football” studio show.
"LeBron has routinely proven me right over the years…you know it and I know it."
