“I hate Eagles fans. They’re boring,” he said earlier in the week. “When I see that green and white, I hate it. I get really angry. Like, I’m actually really hot.”

Barkley questioned the timing of Verse’s comments.

“It’s probably not the smartest thing to say when you come to Philadelphia,” he said, via ESPN. “I was nervous [as a member of the New York Giants] and even if I feel some way, I probably won’t give them more fuel. I’m sure Philly fans saw that comment. It was already loud and it was shaking, so it’s just going to add to it.”
