Last week, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and tight end Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce had some fun in Las Vegas for their celebrity golf tournament. Known golf lover Charles Barkley was part of the coverage.
In the midst of speaking about where Kelce among the all-time great tight ends, Barkley mentioned Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe while using that moment to take yet another shot at Skip Bayless.
“I want one of those jobs where I can get fired [and] get a buyout for working with an idiot,” Barkley said.
Barkley later joked, “What do you think Ernie? You think I can get a buyout for working with Shaq? I’m just saying, if they’re gonna give people buyouts if they’re working with a damn idiot, I want one too!”
Sharpe, of course, left Undisputed last month after a seven-year run on the show that had many tense moments in the final months.

Bayless heard the comment and made sure to fire back at Barkley.
“Still chuckling over a clown calling me an idiot,” Bayless tweeted.
It’s no secret that Barkley and Bayless are not fans of one another, as the pair have exchanged public shots at one another for years. No one knows how it started, but it’s likely due to the insane things that come out of Bayless’ mouth that gets him a ton of attention as well as starting controversy.
With the NBA in full offseason mode, there may be even more shots being taken between the two that will hopefully get us to the NFL season.
