Shannon Sharpe skipped Tuesday's episode of 'Undisputed' after co-host Skip Bayless, sent a controversial tweet when Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest during MNF.
Some speculated Shannon could've simply had the day off, but our sources tell us that's not the case -- this was a direct reaction to Bayless' tweet.
A few minutes into the show, Skip seemingly tried to clear the air without directly addressing the reason behind Shannon's absence, saying,"Obviously, my partner, Shannon Sharpe, is not here today. I look forward to seeing him tomorrow." Bayless also started the show telling the audience he was going to approach the show as he would any other weekday ... though he wasn't sure if he'd be able to get through the emotional topic.
"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."
