This Lil Wayne Appearance At The NBA All-Star Festivities Was Just Weird
Charles Barkley couldn't resist a quick drug reference after this painful interview with Lil Wayne (or, as he was introduced, "Little Wayne") which followed a regrettable performance by Gym Class Heroes on the NBA's All-Star pregame show on TNT....
Charles Barkley Dropped A "Jeremy 'Rin'" On-Air Last Night, But Was It On Purpose?
Despite having plenty of words by volume erupt from his lips, Sir Charles hasn't always been the most cunning linguist. (That's turrible.) So we don't know what to make of his slip-up last night, in which he went to the Asian-pronunciation-stereotype box and dropped a "Jeremy Rin" on viewers after...

Sadly, The World Will Never Know Who Shaq "Blames For That Shit" [UPDATE]
This slip-up came at the tail end of a conversation on TNT about Twinkie-maker Hostess declaring bankruptcy, an entirely reasonable topic for a studio show previewing a night of NBA action. I assume it's that bankruptcy filing Shaquille O'Neal means by "that shit," but we were all sent to commerc...
Here's The <em>Saturday Night Live</em> Sketch In Which Charles Barkley Does His Shaq Impersonation

Thinking He's Off Air, Charles Barkley Says His Weight Watchers Endorsement Is A Big Scam
Via Eye On Basketball, what was a commercial break on TNT was shown live on NBA.tv's stream. With a secretly hot mic and a live camera, Charles Barkley shed some light on his contract with Weight Watchers:...
In Case You Missed It, TNT Toppled A Christmas Tree Onto Shaq
After years of trashing Chris Bosh (the "RuPaul of big men" comment in 2009, the "Big Two" reference earlier this year) the chickens finally came home to roost. On TNT's postgame show last night, the crew convinced O'Neal to take the last in-studio shot of 2011—in front of a precarious Christmas t...
TNT's "NBA Forever" Season-Opening Video Is Spectacular
Most attempts at the Forrest Gump-style "modern people placed into old video" are hokey or at the very least poorly-executed, but TNT splashed the rainbow with this video that preceded the opening-day Celtics-Knicks broadcast. ...
More Leaked Shaq Emails: "We Dnt Want Them Do What They R Doing To Tiger"
If we all thought we might be in danger of having our emails leaked to the general public, we might write our emails differently. We might, for example, not exchange hypothetical emails with our hypothetical agents asking him to cover up hypothetical stories relating our infidelity. We might, hypoth...
More Leaked Shaq Emails: "Where Can I Cum At When I C U"?
Dominica Westling is famous for being, in her own website's words, "a gorgeous Swedish model turned Hollywood actress." For the past few years, she's also been referred to—by news reports and cash-hungry publicists alike—as Shaquille O'Neal's mistress....
Shaq Hired To Hang Out With Charles Barkley On A Regular Basis
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 encr...
The Comeback Pig: Marv Albert, And How To Survive Any Sex Scandal
This month, Marv Albert celebrated his 70th birthday and joined the NFL on CBS. He announced he would leave his gig calling Nets games for the YES Network—he wouldn't have the time. The CBS job "wasn't something I was looking for," Albert said. Marv, at 70, is sports' most sought-after voice, so muc...
Nike Reportedly Tells Charles Barkley To Leave LeBron James Alone
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 n...
Hey, TNT Camera Guy, We Can See You Checking Those Ladies Out
This aired as the lead-in to the third quarter on tonight's broadcast of Heat-Bulls. I suppose the game is in Miami, and perhaps that is what people do down there, but it still seems a little uncouth. (And the network cut in with a clipped Marv Albert voiceover, so this was probably inadvertent.)...
It Only Takes Charles Barkley Two Fingers To Best Your Four-Letter Chant
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 ...
Charles Barkley's "Jackass" Rant Was The Perfect Pregame Show
With Turner stations like TNT getting some of the preliminary NCAA Tournament games, they'll be forced to use their NBA announcers not well-versed in the college scene. Billy Packer, formerly of CBS, levelled the criticism in an interview last month. But last night, someone finally told Barkley....
NCAA Tournament Adds Networks, Expands To "Only" 68 Teams
In a surprising move, the NCAA signed a new television deal that will add more networks to CBS's coverage of the men's basketball tournament, but will not expand the field to 96 teams. Wait, did they actually listen to us?...
Sir Charles Continues To Be The Most Bulletproof Person In Media
After his audible "pussy" blurt during Saturday night's Inside The NBA broadcast , Charles Barkley was reportedly given a stern talking-to by the suits at the TNT. Of course, that's all he received....
