One of the loudest morning yelling sports shows is reportedly going to have a big change coming soon, as Shannon Sharpe is set to leave Fox Sports 1’s Undisputed shortly after the NBA Finals, according to the New York Post. 
Sharpe and Fox Sports, according to the report, have reached a buyout agreement which will end his run with the show that he joined in 2016. 
The former NFL great has spent many mornings arguing with his co-host, Skip Bayless, and it seems as if tensions between the two have led to this move.

Eric Lewis was not selected as one of the 12 referees who will work the NBA Finals between the Nuggets and Heat, while the league continues to look into whether he used a Twitter account to defend himself and other officials from online critiques.

PSG boss Christophe Galter said Lionel Messi will bid farewell to the club against Clement Foot on Saturday.

Can you enjoy college football without at least the option of having an ice cold beer?
OutKick readers aren’t strangers to enjoying a cold adult beverage from time to time. Our readers also aren’t strangers to spending all day watching college football on fall Saturdays.
Alcohol and college football have a relationship that is best described as inseparable. More and more stadiums across the country are starting to offer beer, wine and cocktails during games. It’s honestly shocking alcohol being sold isn’t the standard across the entire country.

NBA referee Eric Lewis, who is under league investigation for potentially operating a Twitter burner account, will not work the NBA Finals, according to a report from Tim Reynolds of The Associated Press.
League spokesman Mike Bass told Reynolds, “Regarding Eric Lewis and the social media posts, we are continuing to review the matter and he will not be working the finals.”
The NBA released the list of 12 officials who would be working the final series of the season between the Nuggets and Lakers, and Lewis was not on the list.

Jokic says he didn’t expect to reach the NBA. People assume he’s being modest, but then he figured it all out.

Paris Saint-Germain manager Christophe Galtier announced Thursday that Lionel Messi is leaving the club after two years. The confirmation comes after rumors swirled that the superstar is considering a move to Saudi Arabian Pro League’s Al Hilal. 
It was reported in May by the Telegraph that the move would pay Messi as much as $400 million (£320 million) annually. Messi’s longtime rival, Cristiano Ronaldo, already made a similar multimillion dollar move out to the Saudi Pro League this past winter.

Following the team’s sweep at the hands of the Nuggets in the Western Conference finals, Lakers star LeBron James was cryptic about his future, telling reporters that he had a lot to think about before deciding if he would play next season.
ESPN’s Dave McMenamin threw water on the retirement speculation the next day, as he reported that James would play for the Lakers next season and was not expected to retire.
For what it’s worth, James’s high school teammates don’t believe he’s done playing either.

The worst-kept secret in the sport is finally confirmed: Messi won’t return to PSG after two seasons.

The NBA Finals begin on Thursday night and Nuggets star Nikola Jokić is still not garnering the respect he deserves.
Stephen A. Smith of ESPN’s First Take gave his top 5 list of players who deserve supermax contracts on Wednesday, and Jokić was not on the list.
Smith listed Stephen Curry, LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Dončić and Jayson Tatum as the five players he believed were worthy of being the league’s highest-paid stars.
It was likely an honest mistake by Smith, but it’s not the first time that Jokić has been snubbed.
