Charles Barkley’s Still a Jackass Hater – Duh!

Okay Eye on Sports readers, it was just about a month ago when I had to rip Charles Barkley a new, ‘you-know-what’ for basically being a Tim Tebow hater of epic proportions.

Now, Barkley’s back to bad-mouthing the most polarizing professional athlete in the world today – and I’m just about sick and tired of Barkley’s big-mouth – despite the fact that I’ll go to my grave actually liking the guy.

Yes, Barkley’s a jackass of epic proportions that doesn’t mind telling people where to go or how to get there, (which, ironically, is why I like him) but he’s way off base for ripping on Tebow the way he has recently, particularly when the multi-faceted Denver Broncos signal-caller has never, ever said one bad thing about him.

Barkley was on air with iconic Philadelphia sports talk guy Mike Missanelli of 97.5 the Fanatic in the City of Brotherly Love on Tuesday when he shared some more of his idiotic, hate-filled feelings on Tebow.

"The national nightmare continue,” Barkley began. “Hey, listen, I like Tim Tebow (that’s a lie Eye on Sports readers) but there comes a point, he had a great game. He's supposed to have a great game," Barkley said.

Missanelli asked Barkley if he has had enough of Tebow.

"I think the world has," Barkley replied. "First of all, Mike, I don't know anything you said about Tebow but let's just say the jury is still out on Tebow. He seems like a nice kid but these ups and downs are so different. The jury is still out on Tebow. Just because he had a great game and made four or five great throws yesterday doesn’t mean he's gonna’ be a great starting quarterback in the NFL."

Maybe it’s me, but I have never seen a retired professional athlete that is in the Hall of Fame no less, consistently rip one of today’s generation of players for absolutely no good reason whatsoever.

First and foremost, Barkley never played in the NFL so his opinion really shouldn’t carry much weight (pardon the pun) at all. However, when you’re as big and loud – and funny – as Charles Barkley is – then someone, somewhere is going to listen – and in the end – maybe that’s all Charles wants to begin with … to remain relevant!

No matter the reason however, I say Barkley’s wrong – and at his age – he should already know, karma’s a bi**h!

Charles Barkley’s A Jackass!

I’ve always been a huge Charles Barkley supporter, mostly because he’s a tell-it-like-it-is kinda’ guy, much like myself. Having said that, I’ve got to remain true to my personality and give it to my readers straight with no chaser. Charles Barkley’s a jackass!
On Friday, Barkley jumped in the driver’s seat of the Tim Tebow ‘Hate Train’ by coming out with some of the most foolish comments I’ve ever heard out of the former Round Mound of rebound.

"I want to make a personal plea to Lance Briggs, Brian Urlacher, Mr. [Julius] Peppers, please stop the madness," Barkley went on air to say on Friday. "I'm just so tired ... I like Tim Tebow. He seems like a good kid, and I wish him success, but I am Tebowed out. So this is my personal plea for you three guys, please stop this madness."

Barkley went on to add that Tebow’s is only getting so much attention because of the media.

"It's clearly a media-drive story," Barkley said. "They just want you to argue about Tim Tebow. Dude, let the kid play. If he can play, good. If he can't play it will show. But to have this argument every single day after five or six games is just ridiculous."

My words for Barkley are simple, but meaningful. First and foremost, dude, you’re a hater of the highest degree.

Second, Tim Tebow’s never done anything to anyone and really lives a life that backs up the morals and values all Christians should have, so maybe Barkley should redirect all of the ‘hate’ he’s sending towards Tim Tebow to some of the multitude of morale-less, law-breaking thugs that mostly define today’s thuggish NBA players.

Last but not least, maybe Barkley should remember that he too was once thought to be a ‘curiosity’ more than a ‘real basketball player’ coming out of Auburn University as a seriously undersized 6-foot-6-inch ‘power forward.

If Barkley could overcome his massive lack of height that is reserved for ‘traditional’ 6-foot-9-inch power forwards and become a Hall of Fame player at the position then he should realize that Tim Tebow could very well do the same of the gridiron.

Sure, Tebow’s not ‘conventional’ in any sense of the word, but neither was Charles Barkely – and yet he succeeded. Now he’s ripping Tebow for absolutely no good reason at all – which tells me that Charles Barkley is a jackass!
