Barkley taking leave of absence from TNT

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/nba/2009-01-09-barkley-results_N.htm

Clearly traumatized about the entire Darius Miles situation, Charles Barkley retreats for a bit.  Stay classy Chuck.

Dang

I like Chuck, TNT is going to be boring as hell now.

Jaws were hitting the floor as Greg repeatedly attempted to tear the rim off the backboard...

While I may miss the chuckster

I won’t miss him very much.

But Marv Albert set the precedent—if a basketball talking head gets caught doing something naughty, he gets to spend a year or so in the time-out chair. Barkley’s tenure may well be longer; even though he’s funny, he’s nowhere near Marv on the Greatness of Basketball Commentators scale.

But

with less reputation comes less wait-around/time-out time. I think he’ll be back before the end of the NBA season.

Barkley won't have to spend that much time away from TV

Marv…..well he did some freaky and wrong things in a completely different arena. Barkley got drunk and made some lewd comments. While he may have underlying problems, there are dozens of people in professional sports who are caught under the influence. He will get things in order, make some kind of apology, and get back to it.

and he drove

don’t forget that part.

Drinking and driving doesn’t seem to be a big deal to people, until people they know are suddenly no longer here due to it.

Greg Oden, where posters happen.

I hate to say this...

but maybe it will take away attention from the Miles situation.

Fine with me

This just passes the time until our next game.

C-Web is the man

He should do some workshops with Lamarcus

"The Portland Trail Blazers are aware that certain teams may be contemplating signing Darius Miles to a contract for the purpose of adversely impacting the Portland Trail Blazers Salary Cap and tax positions....."

He's a dud commentator

but if you like bleary eyed and speech slurred insults then he’s your man. He’s the guy in Pulp Fiction that “gets the visit.”

Get him OUT !

       He’s a big mouthed moron !

It's GO time !

He's turrible.

He’s a knuckle head.

My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.

I've been waiting to hear

from T-Mobile. Do they want to exploit the fact he probably used their service to procure his intended service? Or will they delete him from their Fave Five?

Charles Barky got some back from God for dissing the Blazers!

W00t!

"celtsfan700: Celtics are the most clutch team in basketball. BAR NONE. Nobody takes over fourth quarters like this team. They find ways to win every night, whether things are going good or bad ... it's the mark of a champion, folks."

His B.A.L.

was .15 (I think). How many times would a guy that size have to “Tap The Rockies” to be that sloshed?

k fat loudmouth who I can't understand half the time gets drunk and puts other people in danger by getting behind the wheel.

yeah, I’m gonna miss him.

The Blazers as a whole are far more like my wife than like me in the sense of their physicality on defense.

I was thinking kind of the same thing.

What if he hit someone and killed them? Thank God he didn’t.
