CHARLES BARKLEY IS GULLIBLE
Published 5/8/2008 at With Leather - Sports news and gossip for people who are all, like, "Whatever."
TNT's Ernie Johnson believed that Charles Barkley, like Anchorman's Ron Burgundy, would read anything put on the the teleprompter.  Sure enough, while filming a sponsored plug by T-Mobile, Charles spits out "I'm a dumbass" -- likely the truest thing to come out of his mouth in years. It's a funny moment, but is it really worth rehashing every Anchorman quote?  Yes, yes: we all know that the bear is a furry tractor.  Milk was a bad idea, etc. [Foul Balls]

Charles Barkley Admits To Dumbassery [Charles Barkley]
Published 5/8/2008 by Leitch at Deadspin
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. We can understand how this might happen; there can't be much more soul-crushing for a freestylist like Barkley than reading yet another T-Mobile "My 5" promo. Dumbass. ...

Charles Barkley Will Read Anything You Put on the Teleprompter
Published 5/8/2008 by Will Brinson at FanHouse
Filed under: NBA Media Watch, NBA Playoffs, NBA Videos, NBA Last Night, AtlantaThis is some of the greatest television you will ever watch. Ernie Johnson pulled an Anchorman on Charles Barkley last night, editing the teleprompter to read "I'm a dumbass" while Charles was filming a T-Mobile commercial in the TNT studios. Charles did not realize it until after he'd said it. Actually right about the last syllable of the sentence, you see this amazing look of recognition come over his face. To Barkley's credit, he doesn't get angry. He just seems ...

Last night on TNT's "Inside the NBA," Ernie Johnson wondered whether Charles Barkley would read anything they put on the teleprompter, ala Ron Burgundy. Take a wild guess what happened.

If Only Pacman & Chris Henry Were As Funny As Barkley
Published 5/22/2008 by Robbie Gillies at RealClearSports - Blog
Remember when Charles Barkley was not a role model and received major flack for that statement? Well, Gary Shelton of the St. Petersburg Times, points out that now Barkley is basically untouchable. Once, Ron Artest went into the stands after a loudmouth, and before the week was out, a thousand essays had been produced to decry the violence. Barkley once threw a loudmouth through a plate-glass window, and when he told the judge his only regret was they hadn't been on a higher floor, America laughed along. Shelton is absolutely correct. Because of Barkley's joking nature and brutal honesty he displays on TNT's NBA coverage, no one ...
