We already had a sports smorgasbord for Sunday’s The Match: Champions for Charity, thanks to Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson teaming up with NFL legends Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.
But then Charles Barkley got thrown into the mix. Pretty much every time you throw Barkley into the mix of anything, it turns out to be a good thing.
The Hall of Famer and Inside the NBA analyst was a the center of a few terrific moments on the air on Sunday, which we’ll list for you below. Can we please get Barkley to occasionally appear on other sports broadcasts occasionally? MLB playoffs? PGA Tour events?
1. Barkley talks smack to Brady
Barkley said before this shot that he’d give $50,000 to Brady just to keep the ball on the green. So good.
Hilarious exchange between Charles and Brady
Charles bet Brady $50,000 to keep it on the green.
Charles: "You know Tom, I should've just said if you can keep it on the planet."
Brady: "When does football season starts? I'm ready.."pic.twitter.com/srCsxbdbHW
