Dan LeBatard’s radio show in Miami had Charles Barkley on yesterday, and the Round Mound of Rebound decided, what the heck, I might as well rip into every journalist I can think of, because they don’t know anything! You can listen to the hilarious audio here, but we’ve also pulled a few choice portions.

* “Seems to me that the white guys don’t know anything about the sports and all the black guys want to talk about race … Jay Mariotti, Skip Bayless, they don’t know anything about sports. Jason [Whitlock] and Jemele Hill, they always talk about race, because they know that’s controversy.” [For what it's worth, Barkley's book, written by Mike Wilbon, was titled: 'Who's Afraid of a Large Black Man.']

* “If it wasn’t for guys like myself, all these quote, unquote, sports fans would be listening to Skip Bayless, Jay Mariotti, Mike Lupica – the little midget … I like ESPN a lot, but they want to dominate the world.”

* “I’m not going to let all these losers, like Bayless and Mariotti and Lupica … they can say what they want to. I’m gonna say what I want to. They’re going to deal with it or they’re going to shut the hell up. I don’t care.”

* “ESPN rode all those clowns out there everyday like they’re experts in every sport … first off, they’re not experts in every sport. Trust me – Jay Mariotti, Skip Bayless, and now, Jemele Hill – they’re just people giving their opinion. They’re not the law, and they’re not that important. Get that straight.”
