According to reports, 2x Super Bowl champion LeSean McCoy has emerged as a potential replacement for Shannon Sharpe across from Skip Bayless on FS1's Undisputed after Sharpe leaves the show at the conclusion of the NBA Finals.
Affectionately known as "Shady," McCoy will have an extended on-air audition as he is scheduled to sit opposite of Skip when Sharpe exits. Shady is currently one of the hosts of SPEAK, also on FS1, but is still considered by most in the mediasphere to be "relatively green TV-wise."
Front Office Sports also reports that "McCoy’s “Speak” co-hosts Emmanuel Acho and Joy Taylor are also candidates to succeed Sharpe after his six-plus years run with Bayless on the morning embrace debate show. Ditto for Nick Wright, the opinionated and talented co-host of “First Things First.”"
Those close to the situation also note that FS1 isn't keeping the search internal. They are also considering ESPN’s Max Kellerman, Keyshawn Johnson, and the NFL Network/ESPN’s Michael Irvin to sit across from Skip.
