Skip Bayless has a new sparring partner, at least verbally.
Former Legion of Boom leader Richard Sherman will be replacing Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe on "Undisputed," according to a report from the New York Post.
Sharpe left the FS1 show this summer, tearing up during his last episode in June. He was a part of "Undisupted" with Bayless since September 2016.
Sherman will be trading hot takes with Bayless for "50-100 shows per year, mostly during football season," the New York Post reports. The five-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion will also continue his role as an analyst on Amazon Prime's "Thursday Night Football."
This summer, Sherman appeared as a contestant on the FOX reality show "Stars on Mars" with former teammate Marshawn Lynch.
Sherman and Bayless went at each other a decade ago on ESPN's "First Take" when Bayless was a host with Stephen A. Smith and the Seattle Seahawks star was a guest.
"In my 24 years of life, I'm better at life than you," Sherman said to Bayless, who was questioning his trash talk with other leading defensive backs. Sherman added that the host was "ignorant, pompous" and "egotistical."
Among other changes to "Undisputed," Bayless shared on "The Skip Bayless Show" on Thursday that rap superstar Lil Wayne created a new theme song for the program, which returns to FS1 on Aug. 28. He wrote and performed the previous anthem, "No Mercy." Bayless said Wayne will also appear on "Undisputed" for a segment every Friday.
"We're kindred spirits," he said. "But we do see things differently, but very deeply."
Other candidates to serve as Bayless' co-host on "Undisputed" include established FS1 talking heads LeSean McCoy, Nick Wright, Emmanuel Acho and Joy Taylor. Max Kellerman and Keyshawn Johnson, who were part of the recent ESPN layoffs, are also in the mix.
