‘Stupid and Asinine’: Charles Barkley Slams Skip Bayless for His Comments on Tom Brady and Bill Belichick

The realm of analysts is a brutal one, where anyone can brutally hurl an ‘asinine’ comment at the other. Charles Barkley, who likes to talk politics and basketball, spoke about Skip Bayless for a change. The speech was enough to cause waves in the football community, as it was concerning one of the most in-vouge topics: the Tom Brady v. Bill Belichick controversy.

Skip Bayless’ beliefs regarding the hot topic were pretty brutal themselves as he credited Belichick’s success to Tom Brady. Taking his side on the debate, Bayless opined that “Bill only won championships because of Tom Brady.” This was the only prompt that Barkley needed to unleash his fury on the football analyst.

Skip Bayless gets disparaged

Charles Barkley talking about Skip Bayless pales every other comment of his because of the sheer passion with which he hates him. He did not think twice before accepting unapologetically, “You know how much I hate Skip Bayless. I hate him with every fiber. Sometimes he makes me want to gain weight back so I can hate him with even more weight,” on the Dan Patrick show. Well, he has his reasons. “People send me these hot takes and I love going hard at people. Because to sit there and say, ‘Bill only won championships because of Tom Brady,’ that’s stupid and asinine,” admitted Barkley.

The comment was particularly aimed at Bayless’s hot take where Tom Brady deserves 75 percent of the credit for the New England Patriots dynasty. Whereas, for Belichick, he claimed that the Patriots head coach was a ‘glorified defensive coordinator’. Well, Barkley was not only against Bayless but also what he had to claim about Belichick.

Charles Barkley defends Bill Belichick

Barkley’s opinion was not just limited to Bayless, as the analyst also defended Bill Belichick in the Brady-Belichick controversy. His way, however, was distinct from others as he compared Belichick and Brady’s relationship to Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. “Andy Reid’s a great person, he’s a great coach. But how many championships has he won without Patrick Mahomes? So stop trying to hate on Bill Belichick,” asserted Barkley.

Even Tom Brady, who is at the other end of the poll, stands in Belichick’s favor. Tom Brady did not miss a single chance to appreciate the tenure he spent with Belichick. But, per the recent developments in the controversy, Tom Brady ended his tenure at Patriots because of Bill Belichick. Hence, as the debate continues sweeping the internet, more opinions are expected to pour in from several luminaries.
