The reason is pretty simple, the show’s co-hosts went on vacation, causing the schedule to shake up a bit. It’s quite normal for talk shows like Skip and Shannon: Undisputed and First Take to take a break after an All-Star Weekend.
The reason behind this is that the NFL season ended on February 13, 2022. This season, Super Bowl LVII was won by American Football Conference champion Kansas City Chiefs, and there was not any NBA game for the next ten days. The next NBA game happened on 23 February 2023.
Both the show’s host, Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe, has worked hard throughout the year, and the vacation was a well-deserved one. Both of them converted a wide range of sports topics of Skip and Shannon: Undisputed. So, that vacation was much needed.
The vacation allowed them to relax, and they came back with a new level of energy. They have their rest and are charged fully, and are back for a new season, new madness, and new playoffs.
Show’s host, Skip Bayless, who is also a former ESPN analyst on his Twitter handle on February 19, 2023, wrote that vacation week that week and will see us in a week. Have a look at his tweet.
Vacation week this week. See you a week from tomorrow. But will be tweeting.
