NFL To Charles Woodson: Only We Can Endorse Alcohol
Three new things I learned after hearing about this story: (1) NFL cornerback Charles Woodson has come out with his own wine called "Twentyfour." (2) Charles Woodson still plays football. And (3) NFL players aren't allowed to endorse alcohol....
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 ca...
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 sh...
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. ...
A Day Playing Catch With Charlie Brown
I've been a Peanuts fan pretty much my entire life, but it took the new Baseball as Allegory exhibit to finally drag my sorry butt out to the Charles M. Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa, Calif. I highly recommend the experience if you happen to be in the neighborhood, if for no other reason than to sit ...
Charles Barkley Doing His Best To Ignore His Gambling Problem
"It's for charity!" That's Charles Barkley's excuse as to why, only a little more than a month removed from his on-air vow to not gamble for a "year or two", will be back at the poker tables July 2nd in the "Ante Up For Africa" tournament. ("It's for charity!")...
Charles Oakley Can Have Fun Without Michael Jordan, Apparently
A reader who was partying in Vegas this weekend — for the record, we have never partied in Vegas; we don't think our heart could take it — ended up spending the evening with a shirtless Charles Oakley. We are pretty certain we won't look that good shirtless when we're 73. A full set of photos from...
Bet On A Charles Barkley Gambling Backslide
Charles Barkley's gambling debts may be paid-off, but that doesn't mean his reputation as a problem gambler will be going away anytime soon....
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 minu...
Barkley's Gambling Dumb-Assery May Have Finally Caught Up To Him
Charles Barkley's love of gambling has reached a breaking point for one Las Vegas casino, which is now suing him for $400,000 in unpaid debts....
And Toward Me He Charged: Charles Haley's Bananas
Being a sports reporter is, at times, an absolutely horrible job. Sure you get to watch games, travel and interact with athletes, but there is a horrendous downside. (Which is pretty much everything else.) And this is never more disturbingly clear than when a reporter has their first (or 50th) awful...
Charles Barkley Admits To Dumbassery
Of everyone we've featured in our Media Approval Ratings, the two most popular media members are TNT's Ernie Johnson and Charles Barkley. (They've both ahead of Erin Andrews, for cripes sake.) This prank on Barkley, by Johnson, might help explain why....
Kitchen Oak-idential
I think it's fair to say that Charles Oakley is one of the more terrifying and intimidating men on the planet. That's why it's probably a no brainer that a penne-penised Food Network producer would probably have a tough time turning down a cooking show featuring him. But the New York Post reported a...
Media Approval Ratings: Charles Barkley
With the NBA Playoffs just around the corner, we could think of no better time to take a look at the ongoing phenomenon that is Charles Barkley....
Frank Caliendo, Dish Network To Be Sued Back To The Stone Age?
Of course just about everyone loves Frank TV: Christians, Hindus, Muslims, Jews … our admiration for the voice stylings of Frank Caliendo is the only thing on which we can all agree.* Two notable exceptions, however, are John Madden and Charles Barkley, who do not take kindly to Caliendo using thei...
Sir Charles Doesn't Work For the Christians
Sure, it's no conversation about bewbs with Reggie Miller, but stuff like this could actually get me to watch the Sunday morning politics shows. We have but six years to gear up for the Barkley gubernatorial run. Any chance he could run against Nick Saban? Have Dwayne Wade in his cabinet? At least ...
Our Field Trip To Madison Square Garden
For the third consecutive year, in the tradition of batting against John Rocker and playing touch football with Andre Rison and Kordell Stewart, we accepted an invitation from the fine folks at "Pros Vs. Joes" to — get ready — play two-on-two hoops against Charles Oakley and Charles Smith. At Madi...
Charles Rogers, Finding A Home Up North?
We think we've found a great future job for Lions general manager / president Matt Millen, if he's ever actually fired by Detroit. (Ha. Right.) He would make a grand scout for the CFL....
