You gotta love Sir Charles.  He is definitely not afraid to speak his mind and be openly honest with his opinions.  In that sense it wasn't surprising that he would take a jab at the self proclaimed World Wide Leader in Sports.

During an appearance on the Dan Patrick Show last week, Barkley said that ESPN has gotten in contact with him in the past to gauge his potential interest in a role with the media sports giant.

There's just one problem with that though.  Barkley made it clear that he has no interest in working for ESPN because they have a bad habit of manufacturing stories to create drama.  Oh, and he stills hates Skip Bayless with a passion!  Them's some feisty fightin' world Charles!  What a turrible thing to say...syke!  You know what?  He's right!

It's confession time folks.  I'll let you in on a little secret.  I have stopped watching ESPN for the most part when it comes to getting my daily fix of sports news.  The proverbial straw that broke the camel's back was the seemingly never ending Tim Tebow saga where they covered his every move as quarterback of the Denver Broncos a few years ago.  

It was around this time as well that ESPN went full steam ahead with their asinine "Embrace Debate" mantra across all platforms with Bayless in the starring role.

Good for you Charles for sticking to your guns.  Keep up the good work on TNT.
