Two weeks after Lakers coach JJ Redick criticized the media for not celebrating the NBA enough, Charles Barkley went off on Redick during TNT's 'Inside the NBA' show.

Charles Barkley was not a fan of JJ Redick's comments on the NBA ratings discourse — comments that took aim at the league's television partners, which includes Sir Charles' employer, TNT. During Thursday's edition of "Inside the NBA," Barkley unloaded on Redick as host Ernie Johnson tried to steer the conversation back to highlights.

Charles Barkley said JJ Redick “is a dead man walking” in his first year as head coach of the Lakers. During Thursday’s “Inside the NBA,” Barkley ripped Redick for comments he made about NBA ratings last month — when the former ESPN analyst placed blame on the league’s media partners for fueling negative talk about their own product — and predicted he won’t be at the helm long in Los Angeles.

Former NFL coach Herm Edwards isn’t a fan of the sport’s risk-averse/player safety practice that occurs at the end of the regular season for playoff teams. For Edwards, now an ESPN NFL analyst, “football players play football,” not sit and watch when they’re healthy.

Philadelphia Eagles player Saquon Barkley addressed his team's decision to rest him in the last game of the season, skipping a chance to break a league record.

Teams have devalued the position in recent years, but the best offenses this season have elite backs as their catalysts.
