Jason Whitlock has predicted that FOX will soon fire one of their on-air personalities following a tense exchange on live television.
Whitlock, who is, himself, formerly of FOX, reckons it’s only a matter of time before Richard Sherman is off the network. The 56-year-old suggested as much via X on Wednesday, claiming the latter is taking his shots before he gets terminated.
This stems from a brief argument between Sherman and Skip Bayless on FS1’s ‘Undisputed’ this week.
“Richard Sherman getting his licks in before he’s terminated,” Whitlock wrote. “Shannon wrote the blueprint on breaking up with Skip.”
The argument kicked off after Bayless asked Sherman to let him finish while he was trying to make a point about the controversial hip-drop tackle following recent major injuries, both in the NFL and in college.
“Let me finish, Richard,” Bayless said Sherman. “I’m speaking. Thank you.”

Sherman, who looked a little upset, told the host to stop raising his voice and to watch how he talked to him.
“I’ll let you speak, but you’re not speaking from experience, so stop raising your voice, Skip, watch how you talk to me Skip” he shot back. “You’re speaking on something you have no experience doing. So what point can you really make?”
It wouldn’t come as much of a surprise if Sherman leaves the show soon, but it would probably be in Skip’s best interest to iron things out as he has already lost Shannon Sharpe this year and can ill afford to lose Sherman as well.
