Sports commentator Shannan Sharpe has recently partnered up with Fox Sports' radio host and sports personality, Colin Cowherd.
Sharpe announced the news on August 23 on X, saying that he would be bringing his podcast, 'Club Shay Shay' to Cowherd's platform. This comes after Sharpe and Fox Sports mutually agreed to part ways following his tenure on Undipsuted, with co-host Skip Bayless.
Sharpe made the following announcement on Wednesday:
"I have great news for you. We're in business together bro. I've decided to bring Club Shay Shay over and partner with you [Cowherd]. When we first started, you said, 'hey, give me an opportunity, hear what everyone else has to say,' and I listened to everybody, but I felt The Volume was the best place for me."

Cowherd was more than happy to hear the news. He compared Sharpe's arrival to Peyton Manning-like acquisition.
"I feel like I landed Peyton Manning in Denver. The commitment I watched you make as a former pro athlete who's got his money, who's got his legacy. To get up at four in the morning, I'd come in on the elevator to see a great pro athlete commit to the process of the grind. And that's what this is, it is a grind."
