Thats why I only do a couple commercials a year. I dont go on a bunch of shows, less is more, because the more you do, the less people take you serious. And I dont feel the need to grab every dime, I dont feel the need to grab every dime at my disposal," Barkley said."Ive been arguing with my agent, he said we could do five-seven commercials a year, I said we are going to do two commercials a year, thats it. I dont want to be on TV all the time. I get sick of seeing myself do March Madness, but I dont want to be on TV all the time and I dont do a bunch of TV stuff because I dont want to people get sick of you, thats my number one thing. People will get sick of you, so I dont want to be on TV more, I want to be on TV less."Smith posted to X in April that he is "leaving all doors open" regarding the possibility of running for president, but said he "hate(s) the thought of being a politician."Whether Smith decides to run for president or not, its clear that Barkley doesnt think the ESPN host has a chance.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
