For years, Skip Bayless has made a name for himself for sharing often controversial takes about the NFL and the NBA.
He’s taken countless shots at several athletes, and watching him after every Dallas Cowboys game has become a must for some of his fans and haters alike.
Notably, Bayless is now looking for a new debate partner after Shannon Sharpe agreed to a contract buyout with Fox Sports.
That situation led Charles Barkley — who’s also got a bit of a reputation for making hot takes and not mincing his words — to take a shot at Bayless, calling him out on television.
That’s why, after several weeks to process it, Bayless actually made the decision to reach out to Barkley and publicly challenge him to go join him on Undisputed, citing that he would be his “dream partner.”

Bayless explains that, with Barkley on the show, he wouldn’t have to grind so much to get ready to win his debates, as he’d simply let him walk himself into a trap and “annihilate him ten times per show.”
Bayless says that Barkley is nowhere near the same league as his former debate partners, namely Stephen A. Smith and the aforementioned Sharpe, once again urging him to join the show.
Truth be told, that would be a must-watch show day after day after day, even for their haters.
Then again, Barkley seems way too comfortable on TNT, so Skip will have to look somewhere else for a new sidekick.
