SPORTS COUCH POTATO
It was admirable that TNT would devote several minutes of its NBA pregame show Monday night to dealing head-on with the continuing saga of commentator Charles Barkley's public gambling problem.

Foul Balls
By now I'm sure you've heard about Charles Barkley and the $400,000 he owes the Wynn Casino in Las Vegas. Apparently the folks at TNT thought it was such a big deal that they made Charles do this sit down with Ernie Johnson before last night's game seven.
For some reason I just don't believe Charles when he says he's not going to gamble anymore. Maybe it's the fact that a few seconds later
