Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield joined "The Match" broadcast and made sure to trade some jabs with Charles Barkley

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield made a guest appearance during “The Match” featuring Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau on Tuesday afternoon. Charles Barkley (who was calling the match) immediately took notice of the interesting wardrobe choice by Baker.

“Is that a robe you are wearing?” Charles Barkley called out.

Bake Mayfield was quick to respond to Sir Charles.

“First of all Chuck, your swing is real bad Chuck. Don’t get me started on you,” Mayfield said with a big smile. Barkley then proceeded to challenge Baker to a game of golf, being as he has fixed his notoriously awful swing in recent years.

“Baker, I’ll fly to Cleveland any day now,” Barkley said. “It’s a new and improved Chuck brother.”

Baker Mayfield would go on to admit that his golf game is nothing special, though.

“It is not real great. I swing hard,” Mayfield joked. “Effort has never been a problem for me. When people say let the club do the work I’m not really listening.”

Baker Mayfield would also speak seriously with Charles Barkley and the rest of “The Match” crew about all the expectations surrounding the Browns this season.

“We definitely have had a lot of conversations about expectations within our own locker room,” Mayfield said. “You set your own standards. You can’t listen to any of the outside stuff. That’s what matters. You can feed into the good stuff or the bad, and it’s all going to negatively affect you. We have to do a good job of keeping our guys focused one day and one week at a time.”

Baker Mayfield sounds like he’s ready for the NFL season just as much as the rest of us. And he’s also better than most athletes at being able to handle Charles Barkley’s jabs.
