There is no more quotable sports personality than Charles Barkley. Sir Charles was a guest on the Dan Patrick Show and naturally the conversation shifted to Patrick’s favorite topic – ESPN.

“They call me every year, but I would never go there. Number one they work their guys too hard, but also I think they manufacture stories. They manufacture controversies.”
