Sure we have his number hanging in the rafters here in Philadelphia, and I have been a die-hard Sixers fan since he was playing the game, but he needs to grow up. Between his BS with claiming to be a recovering gambling addict (then seeing him in countless shots gambling again), his recent drunk driving […]
Barkley is both a Searing Social Critic and Laughable Buffoon. People take him seriously because unlike the majority of the asshats on television today, he is brutally honest about himself and the world around him. The fact that people respect the word of someone like Charles Barkley is a sad testament to the […]
You forgot that there are many conservatives whose outrageous political commentary are viewed as if they are a credible source, i.e. Joe the Plumber or Ann Coulter. So the shit rolls both ways.
The NY Times being "bankrupt" according to you has nothing to do with being "liberal." It has more to do with the rise […]
sir charles speaks unscripted and honestly. i have watched him play and read the interviews for many years. like most humans, his understanding of life has grown over these years. an example is his view that he could have been much better if he started exercising well during his first six years as the young […]
Who takes him serious?
Well, it depends on what he is talking about. What separates him from the rest of the pack is he has no boundries, he speaks his mind and more often than not, it’s the truth.
Do I think he should continue to have a broadcasting job? That’s getting debatable. He’s now starting to […]
Why does Barkley continue to be popular after these sorts of incidents? Or after he has thrown someone out of a window in Orlando during a bar brawl? Etc? It’s very simple. For all of Barkley’s faults, the man is one of the few people around who is straight up honest and NOT hypocritical. I […]
who said this? "That’s why I hate white people."
Charles Barkley did.
Can you imagine if a white sports figure said that? Do you think that the TV networks would let such a white person do TV commentary as barkley does?
Nope!
Now, you see, the rich people who control the TV and our governments and schools pay Labor […]
You don’t mess with the NCAA and their ‘rules’. Mind you—there are a million rules and I recall that from having to live by them in the early 90s. I’m sure it has gotten even worse now. Before every season, we had an NCAA compliance meeting to go over the rules and then sign the […]
FTA: "The report also says officers "found a handgun in the vehicle" which was immediately impounded. The report doesn’t say if the handgun was legal or not, and the only thing that we know for sure was loaded…"
It’s Arizona. The loaded part isn’t a factor. Though if Sir Charles doesn’t have a state […]
My sister used to run track/Xcountry at UCI so she was able to work out in the exclusive athlete-only gym. Apparently Kobe used to work out there occasionally. I guess my sister and her friends would say hi to him and stuff, but one day he came up to one of her friends and said […]
