Bill Belichick to the Cowboys proved to be a hot topic.
Debating sports on television is all fun and games until the flip switches from dramatically antagonistic to actually antagonistic and a Monday morning exchange between Shannon Sharpe and Stephen A. Smith onhas some viewers wondering if some real sparks were flying.
Tedy Bruschi and Sharpe were pretty down on any such notion due to Jerry Jones' desire to turn the page while Smith was more optimistic that things could work. This caused all kinds of friction on the set as Sharpe at one point accused Smith of saying he thought he knew more football than him! Even though Smith tried to assure his co-host that this was not the case, the toothpaste was out of the tube.
On the bright side, this clip shows why Sharpe is special. Very few people can sign up to go on debate television and then act legitimately surprised that the other debater isn't agreeing with them but Sharpe's been doing it expertly for years.
