Today on Fox Sports' Undisputed, Skip Bayless continued to create arguments around the subject of Damar Hamlin's horrific cardiac arrest for the Buffalo Bills against the Bengals.

Bayless was roundly criticised for a tweet, which he claimed was misinterpreted, where he wrote, "No doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game - but how? This late in the season, a game of this magnitude is crucial to the regular-season outcome ... which suddenly seems so irrelevant."

He subsequently issued another tweet, apologising and clarifying, and touched on the matter when live on Undisputed yesterday.

While his co-host Shannon Sharpe was not on air yesterday, he was back for today's segment, and when issuing his opening monologue was interrupted by Bayless, before the conversation descended into a childish and argumentative farce.

Shannon Sharpe vs Skip Bayless On Undisputed

Shannon Sharpe: "There has been a lot of speculation of why I wasn’t on-air yesterday, and I won’t get into speculation or conjecture and innuendo, but I will say this: In watching that game on Monday night, what happened to Damar Hamlin struck me a little different.

"As a brotherhood in the NFL, when injuries happen, and we know injuries are a part of the game … but I’ve never seen anybody have to be revived and fight for their life on the field.

“… Skip tweeted something and although I disagree with the tweet, and hopefully Skip will take it down.”

Skip Bayless: “Timeout, I’m not going to take it down,” Bayless said. “I stand by what I tweeted.”

Shannon Sharpe: “I cannot even get through a monologue without you interrupting me … I didn’t want yesterday to get into a situation where Damar Hamlin was the issue. We should’ve been talking about him and not getting into your tweet. That was what I wasn’t going to do, but you can’t even let me finish my open monologue.”
