Bayless and Lil Wayne: A Dynamic Duo for ‘Undisputed’
The popular morning debate show, ‘Undisputed,’ anchored by Skip Bayless, made its much-anticipated return this Monday. Following the exit of the iconic co-host Shannon Sharpe, the show took a brief hiatus during the summer months only to return with a Lil Wayne penless theme.
