ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith rarely backs down from a chance to debate in the world of sports. And with one of the most popular analysts reportedly looking for a new network, Smith seems open to potentially joining forces.
During an episode of The Stephen A. Smith Show on Friday, Smith floated the idea of pairing up with NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe on ESPN’s First Take. Smith’s idea of bringing Sharpe to the show comes as the former NFL tight end reportedly reached a buyout agreement with Fox Sports to exit his role as co-host of Fox Sports 1’s Undisputed later this month, according to Ryan Glasspiegel of the New York Post.
“I don’t know what @ShannonSharpe’s plans are right now…but I know that if he wants to make his way on over to First Take…I am here for it,” Smith said on the show.
