Charles Barkley said he’d punch Aaron Rodgers in the face if he were Jimmy Kimmel

Like Aaron Rodgers, Charles Barkley says what he thinks, including that he would have decked Rodgers if he made the same joke he spouted about Jimmy Kimmel.

Since the fallout from his season-ending injury, Aaron Rodgers has made regular appearances on the Pat McAfee Show where he shares his thoughts on everything from football to vaccinations. Just days ago, he added another topic by insinuating that Jimmy Kimmel is potentially involved with disgraced financer Jeffrey Epstein.

That didn’t sit well with Kimmel who threatened legal action and then fired back with some words of his own. Rodgers and McAfee have both downplayed the situation and implied that Kimmel misunderstood the joke.

The beef between Rodgers and Kimmel has permeated sports circles and has found its way to television analyst Charles Barkley. During a recent appearance on CBS Mornings, he was asked how we would have handled the situation if he was in Kimmel’s position.

Barkley flatly said he would have punched Rodgers in the face.
