This is one of a handful of remarks Barkley has made about wanting to kill Bayless, the 70-year-old sportswriter-turned-hot-take-artist, who has helped define the major network model that turns sports coverage into a soap-opera goldmine. "You know what we should do for ratings?" Barkley mused during a 2017 appearance on "The Dan Patrick Show." "If I get a disease and I’m gonna die, how about you get Skip Bayless in here and I’ll kill him live on national television?” Over the years, Barkley has made no secret of his distaste for current FS1 and former ESPN host Skip Bayless, his least favorite sports analyst in the business. Sixers' loss to Denver Nuggets showcases important underlying issues.Sixers' announcer Kate Scott is a Philly fit.And when Barkley gets foot-in-mouth syndrome, he has to deal with it not being a joke anymore. It all comes across as charming because it's for show. Coming within a hair of crossing the lines of acceptability is part of what he does best, and since Barkley mixes in plenty of self-deprecation – whether it's about his weight or his old-man-yells-at-cloud persona – he mostly manages to be an endearing bully.
NBA Hall of Famer and former Sixers star Charles Barkley is nothing if not one of the greatest trash talkers on television, mixing blustery humor with blunt criticism to address topics that often transcend sports.īarkley is the type of jovial grouch whose commentary usually earns him the benefit of the doubt.
