data-mm-id=”_j1uye9ara”>Shannon Sharpe was the perfect counterbalance for Skip Bayless on Undisputed. That's not an endorsement of the show or what it aims to be by any stretch, but the duo had real chemistry, real tension, and Sharpe was uniquely suited to hold his own against a firehose of Baylessian spray. Identifying and developing the talent Sharpe has but had never honed before his FS1 run is one of the more impressive things Skip has done in recent years. But emotional goodbyes and thank-yous have been doled out and Undisputed needs a new voice. Bayless needs a partner he can work with in order to stay relevant. This is an especially intriguing story because jobs like this and microphones this size don't grow on trees. The visibility is great if you can learn to exist …

data-mm-id=”_hwwtzn3jy”>The Los Angeles Lakers are In-Season Tournament champions and that's about the only good thing they have going for them right now. The roster has battled injuries to pretty much everybody but Anthony Davis and LeBron James all season. The questionable construction of the team as it relates to a lack of three-point shooting has become a nightly problem. And it seems that things are coming to a head for the man in charge of it all– head coach Darvin Ham. After the Lakers lost to the Miami Heat without Jimmy Butler by 14 points at home last night, LeBron exited the arena without speaking to reporters. Davis sounded miserable during his media appearance. Nobody had any answers for how the Lakers are going to improve on their 17-18 record. Then, less than 12 ho…

Napoli have joined the race to sign Manchester United loanee Sofyan Amrabat, with his departure from Old Trafford all but guaranteed at this point.
Man Utd spent the entire summer window chasing Amrabat and they were eventually able to strike a loan deal with Fiorentina to bring him to the club for the season.
Given his impressive performances at the 2022 World Cup, the expectation levels were fairly high upon his arrival,
The 27-year-old has only started in seven league matches and despite the stuttering form of Casemiro, he’s struggled to establish himself as a regular starter.
Erik ten Hag s side do have the option to sign him on a permanent basis for a £21.4m fee, but according to Fabrizio Romano, the club won’t take up this option.

Liverpool boss Klopp ‘absolutely fine’ with trophy haul as he holds final pre-match press conference
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists he did not waste a minute of his time at the club and is “absolutely fine” with the amount of silverware he won.
Klopp will bow out at Anfield on Sunday after eight and a half years having won eight pieces of silverware, including one Premier League title after a 30-year wait and the club’s sixth success in the Champions League.
His critics will say he did not maximise the talents of a squad which peaked between 2018 and 2020 and the Reds boss accepts they are entitled to hold that viewpoint.
But he sees things differently, saying: “I really think it was the absolute opposite of a waste of time.
“We used absolutely everything and tried to make the best out of everything and tried to enjoy it as much as som…
