Charles Barkley would punch Aaron Rodgers if QB implied, like Jimmy Kimmel, he was on Epstein list

Charles Barkley is a straight shooter.

So, he didn’t hesitate when asked how he would handle if Aaron Rodgers insinuated he was on the infamous Epstein list.

“I’d punch him in the face,” Barkley quickly shot back.

The NBA analyst and former Auburn basketball star was asked for clarification.

“You know what in the hell punch him in the face means,” he said.

Rodgers said Tuesday he and late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel can agree on two things.

The New York Jets quarterback, who made his weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Tuesday, said he and Jimmy Kimmel can both agree that pedophilia is a heinous crime and both are glad the late-night talk show host isn’t on the list.

It was the latest chapter of a drama-filled saga between the NFL quarterback and Kimmel, who threatened legal action last week.

Kimmel believes he was slandered by the Jets quarterback last week when Rodgers, on McAfee’s Show, insinuated Kimmel’s name was possibly among the Jeffrey Epstein documents released.

“There’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, that are really hoping that doesn’t come out,” Rodgers said last week.

On Tuesday, Rodgers attempted to clear the air before putting the issue behind him.
