FS1 reached an $18 million buyout with ESPN that paves the way for analyst Keyshawn Johnson to join Skip Bayless on UNDISPUTED, The New York Post’s Andrew Marchand reports. According to Marchand, Johnson is expected to be on UNDISPUTED starting Monday.

Prominent sportscaster Erin Andrews hilariously ragged on her husband’s off-the-ice toughness during the latest episode of the Calm Down with Erin and Charissa podcast.
Andrews, who hosts the shows with fellow Fox Sports reporter Charissa Thompson, took her husband Jarret Stoll to task about one of his issues around the house. The two-time Stanley Cup champion, who was known for his toughness on the ice over his 12-year NHL career, apparently becomes a “wuss” after hearing small noises around their house.

A qualifying match at the US Open between Canadian Eugenie Bouchard and Ukraine’s Dayana Yastremska got a little awkward with a handshake snub.
The 23-year-old Yastremska won Thursday’s match 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, but after the final point, the customary handshake was nowhere to be found. Instead, she iced Bouchard, opting to simply shake hands with the official and wave to the crowd.
