Charles Barkley never misses the chance to take a shot at Skip Bayless. The Hall of Famer has never hidden his disdain for the Undisputed host. Thursday night during coverage of The Match, without mentioning Bayless by name, Chuck got in another shot.
Travis Kelce was playing in the charity golf event with his quarterback Patrick Mahomes. In the middle of discussing where he ranked amidst the best tight ends ever, Barkley noted that you cannot leave Shannon Sharpe out of the conversation. He followed that up by saying, “I want one of those jobs where I can get fired, get a buyout for working with an idiot.”
Sharpe left Undisputed earlier this month after working out a deal with FS1 on a buyout. While Sharpe and Bayless had nice things to say about each other on their last day on camera together, tensions between them in the previous months were hard not to notice.
“What do you think, Ernie? You think I could get a buyout from working with Shaq?” Barkley joked.
Ernie Johnson asked where all of this was coming from.
“They gonna give people buyouts if you working with a damn idiot,” Barkley answered before assuring Johnson that he was not the idiot in question. “I want one of those too.”
While Barkley has been adamant for years that he despises Skip Bayless, Bayless has claimed he has no idea why the TNT star feels that way.
