Charles Barkley recently claimed he was offered Monday Night Football, but he turned down the job.

The comments were made during an appearance on the first episode of The Jim Brockmire Podcast. The 58-year-old turned it down because even he knew he wasn’t right for the job.

“I only comment on basketball. Like they offered me Monday Night Football,” Barkley said during an appearance on the Jim Brockmire Podcast.
