Skip Bayless’s Undisputed sports debate show hasn’t aired a new episode since Shannon Sharpe left as co-host last month. Fox Sports says the show will return to its FS1 channel on Aug. 28, while Bayless says he is “in the lab this summer” just like LeBron James.
However, it doesn’t appear as if the hiatus was planned too far in advance. Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports reports Fox Sports is struggling to find a replacement for Sharpe, and the hiatus is merely to give the network more time to fill the role.

The New York Yankees play “God Bless America” during every home game throughout the season. Sometimes, they have a live singer. But mostly, they play Robert Merrill’s recorded version during the seventh-inning stretch. And, Aaron Judge lines up — with his hand over his heart — and sings every word. During every game.
According to NJ.com, the New York Yankees are the only MLB team to feature that song at all 81 games.
“The Yankees are the only team that still plays ‘God Bless America’ at every home game during the regular season and playoffs.
Nikki Hiltz’s 2023 campaign got even better Saturday night as the 28-year-old middle distance runner used an incredible kick to secure the women’s 1500-meter national title at the 2023 USATF Outdoor Championships at Hayward Field in Oregon. In doing so, Hiltz became the first openly non-binary athlete to win an outdoor track and field championship for the United States.
Hiltz’s final 100 meters were epic. They were running in pack of five, which stayed together for much of the one-mile, four-lap race.
It seemed as though Hiltz was boxed-in for a moment as the group turned for home.
Stop me if you’ve heard this one: Max Verstappen won a Formula 1 Grand Prix. Still, it was McLaren that really got people’s attention.
But before we get to them, let’s talk about the winners. Verstappen — if you can believe this — had never won the British Grand Prix.
But wait, I thought he won at Silverstone in 2020.
He did, but that was the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix. Get it straight…
This year’s win was also the 11th straight win for Red Bull, which tied a Formula 1 record held by McLaren.
Years after a split between Nike and Deion Sanders, Nike confirmed a renewed partnership with the first-year Colorado football coach in an email to USA Today Sports.
“We welcome Deion Sanders back to the Nike family,” the company said in a statement sent to the publication.

“We coming,” Sanders wrote in the Instagram post.
The Rams have quarterback Matthew Stafford under contract through the 2026 season, but the team apparently considered parting ways with him earlier this offseason.
Such a move would’ve been surprising considering Stafford guided Los Angeles to victory in Super Bowl LVI in February 2022, but the Rams apparently wanted to avoid paying out $59 million in contract bonuses. Stafford signed a four-year, $160 million extension last offseason.
Gregg Popovich, who is on record saying many terrible things about the United States of America, signed a five-year extension with the San Antonio Spurs worth $80 million. That’s the richest contract ever granted to an NBA head coach.
Popovich attended the Air Force Academy and served five years in the United States Military. And, I thank him for that service. However, serving in the US Military does not grant someone a lifetime exemption for trash-talking America while still claiming to “love this country.
The top players in this year’s rookie class got their first taste of NBA 2K24 Summer League action this weekend, and the results were a mixed bag. The action continues Sunday with four games on ESPN2.
