Charles Barkley yet again mocks Skip Bayless & Shannon Sharpe
Former NFL tight end Sharpe made a triumphant return to Undisputed on Wednesday, but he was unable to complete his monologue without being cut off by the irritable Bayless.
After Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin experienced cardiac arrest and required on-field heartbeat restoration, Bayless pondered on Twitter how the NFL could postpone the Bills-Bengals game. On Wednesday, Sharpe arrived, and the two of them got into a heated argument while it was being broadcast live.
Charles Barkley, who vehemently despises Bayless, made it a point to mock Skip and Shannon on Inside the NBA on Thursday night. “Man, I’m sick and tired of you,” Barkley yelled at O’Neal while grinning at the start of the show. “You’ve already interrupted Ernie. You interrupted him during the first performance of the year. Can he wrap up his speech?”
Barkley yelled, “I’m not taking my tweet down. I won’t delete my tweet! I’m sure of what I said!” Shaq made the decision to join in as well.
Near the end of the program, Barkley gushed about Shaq’s mother and thanked him for including her in his commercials. O’Neal remarked, “She loves you too. I don’t love you; she does.”
“Believe me, I understand what it’s like to work with someone you despise, just like Shannon does,” Barkley added. For the unversed, shortly after Hamlin was taken to the hospital on Monday night, Bayless tweeted a query about the NFL’s game-day schedule, drawing criticism. The tweet was viewed by many as being in poor taste given the seriousness of the Hamlin situation.
