Charles Barkley wasn't the only one caught last night talking into a hot microphone that was picked up by NBA.tv during a TNT commercial break. Here, play-by-play man Kevin Harlan makes an eloquent case for how well he thinks the New Orleans Saints play at home. More »

Following up on his earlier claim about "hating Skip Bayless more than any person in the world," TNT Inside the NBA commentator Charles Barkley launched another barrage in his media beef with the ESPN First Take pundit today on The Dan Patrick Show. More »

Charles Barkley, the man who makes a living off of speaking truth to the power of sports figures and commentators that we all kind of hate, is on record as saying that ESPN's Skip Bayless is "one of the two people [he'd] like to kill." But since murder is kind of bad for one's public image, Chuck just resorts to talking shit about Bayless as much as he can. More »

Charles Barkley was on Long Island this weekend for a charity golf tournament hosted by Bill Russell when he decided to take his Alabama warble—like "popcorn covered in pine sap"—to Jerry and the Mermaid bar and restaurant for some karaoke. Naturally, he chose Sinatra. Now, you're never supposed to make fun of someone singing karaoke, especially not during music week. So don't you do it. Barkley is a man of the people. As the Riverhead News-Review reports, Barkley also watched football at Digger O'Dells restaurant and bar on West Main Street and shacked up at the Hyatt. More »

2K Sports attempted to include basketball great Charles Barkley in NBA 2K12's "NBA's Greatest" mode, showcasing dozens of superstars spanning the game's history, but the two sides were unable to reach an agreement bringing the hall-of-famer to the video game. He will not appear in NBA 2K12. More »

Just six weeks into his retirement, Shaquille O'Neal has agreed to a multi-year deal with TNT to be a member of Inside the NBA. He'll join Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Kenny Anderson Ernie Johnson in the cavernous studio next season, and because he is very weird — and as long as he doesn't encroach on any of the overly-established repartee — he should be a very good fit for the show.

Sir Charles keeps trolling, this time on both the Mike Lupica Show on ESPN 1050 and then on WIP Philadelphia with Howard Eskin and Ike Reese. There is nothing new here, because we've been listening to Barkley lambaste the Heat and especially Two of their Big Three on a regular basis for the past few months. Chuck knows his audience, and he knows they want to hear him speak his version of truth to their version of power: LeBron is a Scottie Pippen, God is a Dallas Mavericks fan, and yes, Barkley is still talking.

Charles Barkley continued his righteous public crusade against all things Miami Heat today, when he spoke to the "Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000. Nothing revolutionary here, just the special vindication that comes with hearing someone with a national audience say things that said audience has been saying to one another for the past eight months: "Yeah, they have the worst fans. No question." There it is. More »

Chuck has been saying whatever he damn well wants to say on television for some time now, and he has a special talent for always getting away with it. He's generally loved, and TNT has a different policy for its commentators than, say, ESPN, which would have suspended him approximately 74 times by now. But we'd underestimated the power of an external influence in restraining Barkley, and of course that external influence is Nike. More »

Chuck is on a roll. Even after getting a little political, he can still say whatever he wants and flip off whomever he pleases, so long as it's not on the air. Miami fans are sour that he called their team "a whiny bunch" last week; Barkley is operating under the correct assumption that he can do whatever he wants because TNT will either to pretend not to notice, or to act like he's just their senile great-uncle acting out without his meds again.

Cleon "is a legend at our course," writes a reader who begs to differ with our characterization of Charles Barkley's swing as the worst. We're not sure. Cleon's lengthy lining up of the ball and ratcheting backswing are great, but the follow-through is a little too clean. More »
