Jason Whitlock ROASTS Shannon Sharpe’s tearful goodbye to Skip Bayless

The day has come for Shannon Sharpe to leave the show "Undisputed," and his departure was quite an emotional one.

The former NFL star sat across from his co-host Skip Bayless and became choked up as he thanked Bayless for giving him the opportunity to be on the show back in 2016.

“I’m here because of you,” Sharpe said, tearing up. “You’ve allowed me to share the stage with you. You allowed me to share the platform.”

"The opportunity that you gave me," he continued, "to become what I became, I'm forever indebted to you. I'll never forget what you did for me. You helped me grow more than you'll ever know."

“I want to thank you for dedicating yourself to this job,” Bayless responds. “It is a voracious beast of a show, day after day after day. You dedicated yourself to this job just the way you dedicated yourself to professional football as a Hall of Famer.”

“I want to thank you for never taking a sick day. I want to thank you for preparing as hard as you could every single day, every single topic. I want to thank you for competing as hard as you competed with me, because the greatest compliment I can give you is you were a worthy adversary,” he continued.

Bayless then tells Sharpe that he loves him for what he has done for him.

Jason Whitlock doesn’t buy it.

“Last week the guy was liking tweets calling Skip a piece of crap,” Whitlock says.

Whitlock adds that it was odd for Sharpe to leave on a Tuesday.

“Who quits a job on a Tuesday? It’s Tuesday. If any of that were legitimate,” Whitlock says, “you work through the week. It ends on Friday. It’s not like ‘Whoo, game's over, I’m out of here the very next day.’”
