When Stephen A. comes out and says that \u2018the show [First Take] was suffering and I saved it,\u2019 you\u2019d be a fool not to believe it because the show was suffering and then Shannon came on and saved [\u2018Undisputed\u2019].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Bayless explained in thorough detail that he loves Smith as a brother, but was \u201cblindsided\u201d by the insinuation that he needed Smith to salvage \u201cFirst Take\u201d after a torrid stretch of ratings in the 2011 Tim Tebow phenomenon \u2014 before Smith joined the show as a daily debate combatant in April of 2012.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Draymond Green\u2019s Honest Response To Skip Bayless\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/U_hVeZSEntk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The two later hashed things out in a \u201cdifficult conversation\u201d by the pool at Bayless\u2019 Los Angeles-area home.<\/p>\n<p>As far as what Green says about Sharpe, this is a bit of revisionist history. <\/p>\n<p>Bayless was poached away from ESPN in 2016 by former \u201cFirst Take\u201d producer Jamie Horowitz, who was in charge of FS1 at the time, for a four-year, $24 million deal. Horowitz also hired Sharpe to join Bayless. <\/p>\n<p>This was not a moment in Sharpe\u2019s career where he was the hottest commodity.<\/p>\n<p>Sharpe was <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/profootballtalk.nbcsports.com\/2014\/02\/19\/shannon-sharpe-sad-and-disappointed-to-be-out-at-cbs\/\">let go from CBS Sports\u2019 NFL studio show in early 2014<\/a>.

However, six years ago was a bit of a different time where it was more essential to appear on an institutional TV platform to ascend to media stardom.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
