“To say I’m disappointed in the hiring of Skip Bayless would be an enormous understatement,” Aikman said. “Clearly, [Fox Sports president of national networks] Jamie Horowitz and I have a difference of opinion when it comes to building a successful organization. I believe success is achieved by acquiring and developing talented, respected and credible individuals, none of which applies to Skip Bayless.”

If you ever wondered what the last item on Charles Barkley’s bucket list is, wonder no more.
The answer is simple: murder. Specifically, murdering former ESPN and current Fox Sports shouter Skip Bayless.
Barkley shared his morbid fantasy during a wide-ranging interview Thursday on “The Dan Patrick Show.”
Near the end of the interview, in the midst of a rambling declaration about his love of the radio show, Barkley stopped himself mid-sentence to say, “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?”
“I like it, like pay-per-view,” Patrick said, playing the role of straight man to perfection.
“No, no, no,” Barkley butted back in, “just get him in here. Only when I know I’m going to die. … Cause I just want to get Skip Bayless in a room one time and beat him like a dog.”
Without missing a beat, Patrick chimed in, “OK, so you’d kill him.”
“Yes. Only if I knew I was gonna die,” Sir Charles finished up. “Not if I’m gonna live, cause I don’t wanna go to prison. Cause like [Rick] Mahorn say, ‘They would love you in prison.’”
Bayless was on the air Friday morning, but hadn’t responded to Barkley at the time of publication.
