Charles Barkley Unapologetic About P-Word Blurt
Of course he is. Other things Barkley's cantankerous about: The Media's treatment of LeBron post-press conference snub, people overlooking the Magic, and Twitter: "Anyone who's worried about what Shaquille O'Neal is doing all day is an idiot." [DPShow]

Michael Phelps Outshone By Tina Fey in Quest for Comedic Gold
When Michael Phelps took center stage in Beijing, he dominated the competition in the pool over and over. His ability to step up at the Olympics, on the biggest stage of his sport, was unprecedented. But when he took the stage last night in New York as host of NBC’s Saturday Night Live, it was clear he wouldn’t be running away with the standout performance. That honor belonged to Tina Fey, the Sarah Palin doppelganger who was on point from her opening line of “Good evening, my fellow Americans” spoken in perfect Canadian/Alaskan-speak. More »

Charles Barkley Knows Not Of These 'Blogs' You Speak Of
So I was mocked repeatedly for my "interview" with Charles Barkley on Thursday, when I introduced myself and told him that I would be blogging his rounds all weekend. Yes, it somewhat resembled Chris Farley interviewing Paul McCartney. But I'll have you know that from that brief exchange came the catchphrase of the tournament. The next day, Barkley told NBC during a TV interview: "My game is like a blog." More »

Charles Barkley Reluctantly Puts Me In His Fave Five
When NBC Sports asked if I'd blog portions of this year's American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament, of course I said yes. At what other event would I get a chance to interview FOUR participants of Dancing With the Stars? But gradually more details emerged, and I was not amused. The shocking truth: They wanted me to take my laptop out on the course and live blog Charles Barkley's rounds in the event. And I was just foolish enough not to back out. More »

Charles Barkley's Petulance About His Gambling Problem Is Truly Entertaining
The always entertaining Round Mound of Double Down is still hanging out at casinos ("It's for charity!) for the "Ante Up For Africa" tournament and caught up with RawVegas to, once again, let people know he's not gambling. Apparently, it it's the media's fault that he's no longer allowed to gamble. I think Wynn's Las Vegas Resort and his bank account would beg to differ. More »

Charles Barkley Says He Will Stop Gambling, Starting ... NOW
Charles Barkley sat down with Ernie Johnson on the TNT set on Monday night before Game 7 of the Spurs-Hornets series, and declared before one and all that he is done with gambling. But for those wondering if the pledge will take, just watch the interview: It seemingly takes Charles only about a minute to begin wavering, going from "I'm not going to gamble anymore," to "I'm going to stop gambling for right now," to "Who knows how long it's going to last? Hopefully for the next year or two." More »
