Packers CB Jaire Alexander Calls Out Analyst Shannon Sharpe & Skip Bayless: “Need To Watch What They Speak”
NFL players are instructed to ignore and steer clear of the majority of community trash-talking. Some do, however, occasionally sting a little bit more intensely. especially when commentators and analysts discuss them. This is most likely what transpired when Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless discussed Jaire Alexander, who found a unique way to avenge the two of them.
Packers CB Jaire Alexander Calls Out Analyst Shannon Sharpe & Skip Bayless: “Need To Watch What They Speak”
The rivalry between Jaire Alexander and Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings is gaining popularity every day. When they last faced off, in Week 1, the Vikings embarrassed the Packers, and Jefferson defeated Alexander. Alexander at the time was quick to write off Jefferson’s victory over him as a “fluke,” which attracted a lot of attention, especially that of Sharpe and Bayless.
Packers CB Jaire Alexander calls Justin Jefferson's Week 1 game "a fluke"
"I don't mind the trash talk, but Jaire is out his damn mind. Justin Jefferson has an outside chance of 2,000 yards. Ain't nothing flukey about this, he's legit!" — @ShannonSharpe pic.twitter.com/qlEH0uiMTo

Sharpe had some choice opinions about Jaire Alexander’s claim. Speaking on his show ‘Undisputed’, he says, “I don’t mind the trash talk, but Jaire is out his damn mind. Justin Jefferson has an outside chance of 2,000 yards. Ain’t nothing flukey about this, he’s legit!”
Jaire Alexander faced criticism all week for criticising Jefferson, so in the locker room interview following the game, he exacted retribution. Alexander singled out Undisputed analysts Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless in particular while sporting the coolest NFL trend right now: a hilariously oversized cap.

“Tell Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless they need to watch what they say when they talk about me,” Alexander told reporters in the locker room, sporting a massive Packers cap. “They need to watch what they put out; talking about he a ’good’ corner. I’m a great corner.”
Most people around football thought Alexander was crazy for injecting more insult to the heated matchup. After all, he was firing up a wideout on the steps of 2,000 yards receiving in 2022.
“I said what I said and I meant what I said,” Alexander proudly stated in a separate postgame interview.

The Packers’ 41-17 victory over the Vikings was made possible in large part by Jaire Alexander’s outstanding performance on Sunday. The loss has no bearing on the Vikings because they have already won the division. However, for the Packers, this victory represents the survival of the tenuous hope that previously only existed in the eyes of their star player, Aaron Rodgers.

The Packers, Detroit Lions, and Seattle Seahawks are the three teams vying for the last NFC playoff spot. With one game left, each of the three clubs has a record of 8-8. The Packers and Lions will play each other in their final game, while the Seahawks play the Los Angeles Rams. The only way to guarantee entry into the playoffs is to win; a loss or a draw will put them out of the race completely.

“You got to back it up” – Shannon Sharpe Responds To Jaire Alexander
Shannon Sharpe was asked to respond to the cornerback on “Undisputed.” Here’s what he said:
“Why are you picking on the debate hosts? I ain’t bother nobody. I’m just up here doing my job. I said, ‘You’re a good corner.’ You talked. I said, ‘I ain’t got no problem with the man talking, but now you talking, you got to back it up.’ You backed it up. I ain’t got no beef with you, bro. I don’t want no smoke. You played unbelievable,” Shannon Sharpe said.
