Skip Bayless and Charles Barkley are beefing in public again
On Thursday night, Barkley took a shot at Bayless during TNT’s broadcast of ‘The Match’ when he said that he envied Shannon Sharpe because he wanted a job “where he could get a buyout for working with an idiot.”
“I want one of those jobs were I can get a buyout working with a damn idiot.” 🤣🤣
Charles Barkley never wasted an opportunity to roast Skip Bayless without saying his name. #TheMatch https://t.co/HR9GD5NV1M

Bayless took offense to Barkley’s shot at him and appeared to fire back on Friday with this tweet.
Still chuckling over a clown calling me an idiot.

Barkley and Bayless have been beefing for years.
Back in 2017, Barkley offered to kill Bayless on live television.
“You know what we should do for ratings? 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.”
“Only if I know I’m going to die, I don’t wanna be in prison.”
During a recent episode of the ‘Skip Bayless Show’, Bayless spoke about Barkley threatening to kill him.

“Charles has been taking shots at me for, seriously, 20 years,” Bayless said. “I never care about anybody taking shots at me, unless that somebody repeatedly says on national TV, he would like to kill me. This coming from Barkley, just completely unprovoked. I have never criticized Charles Barkley one time, I have never said anything personally about him.”
It doesn’t seem like the two have any interest in squashing the beef any time soon.
