In a recent appearance on the Pardon My Take podcast, the Leeds, Alabama, native Barkley gave his flowers to his neighbours to the north — and their hockey team.
In his closing remarks, co-hosts “Big Cat” and “PFT Commenter” told Barkley to say hello to mutual friend Paul “BizNasty” Bissonnette, who works both alongside the duo at Barstool Sports and Barkley at TNT. While they were complimentary of Bissonnette, they said he needed to tone down how loudly he’s supported the Leafs in public over the years.
Barkley countered with the fact that he’s hoping to see the Stanley Cup come back to Toronto someday.
“I’m rooting for them. They gotta win soon. I know they let [Mitch] Marner just go, but I gotta root for them because that’s my favourite city in the world,” Barkley said. “Toronto is the best city in the world. Easily. Chicago’s summer is the second-best. Those are my two favourite places in the world.”
