Skip Bayless is set to sit across from another former NFL star.
The enigmatic sports debater will be joined by former NFL All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman on FS1’s “Undisputed,” according to a report by the New York Post.
The report did not state that Sherman will be Bayless’ permanent partner, instead stating that he would join the Fox (FOXA) -) network’s sports debate show about 50-100 times a year. Sherman will also maintain his position as an analyst on Amazon Prime’s “Thursday Night Football” coverage.

Bayless and Sherman had a back and forth a decade ago when the former was still part of ESPN’s “First Take” and Sherman was still only a few years into his NFL career.
Bayless was critical of Sherman’s play, as he is with many athletes, and Sherman took offense and went on the show to publicly address the sports debater.
“In my 24 years of life, I’m better at life than you,” Sherman said.
