CHARLES BARKLEY IS GULLIBLE
With Leather - Sports news and gossip, panda sex, and the occasional Toonces the driving cat Photoshop — 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]
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
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 ...

YouTube of the Day: Charles Barkley is a dumbass
Ball Don't Lie — The arsonist's feet were oddly shaped. The arsonist's feet were oddly shaped. The arsonist's feet were oddly shaped. There. All warmed up now. 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.

Charles Barkley can't think and read at the same time
Ball Don't Lie — Wednesday night on TNT's "Inside the NBA," Ernie Johnson wondered if Charles Barkley would read anything they put up on the teleprompter, ala Ron Burgundy in Anchorman. Um, take a wild guess what happened. Hilarious stuff, but I'm a little disappointed they didn't make it a question. (I'm a dumbass?)

If Only Pacman & Chris Henry Were As Funny As Barkley
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 ...

The Week that Was ... Sweet
ESPNtheMag.com - MagDaily — For two reasons: we ate a lot of sugar this week, mostly in the form of leftover Valentine's Day candy. That's sweet. But the week was also pretty awesome (another definition of sweet, courtesy of Urban Dictionary). UConn-Pitt proved that this year, the NCAA Championship is anyone's game, which should make for an exciting March. Spring training finally got underway. The NBA trade deadline had its share of weird moments (Tyson Chandler, pack your … oh wait. My bad, just kidding.) And the most dope thing this week? Barkley's back. We love us some Charles. Mag.com content is pretty cool too. Check it out.

Battle to the End—Athlete’s Edition: Who Will Survive?
Eaglesblog.net — Battle to the End—Athlete’s Edition: Who Will Survive? thumbnail To my dismay, the quality of reality television has plummeted recently—far from the glory days of the early 2000s. Now, you might scoff at my concern over things of such insignificance, but I’m not afraid to admit that I like my “trash TV” to be “quality trash TV.”  The current nonsense of Dancing with the (Burnt-out C-List) Stars and Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader (a resounding NO in my case) just doesn’t cut it anymore. Even the brilliant Survivor has lost a bit of its flair, thanks to ineffective rule changes and some unbelievably boring contestants. Call me childish, but I ...

And in honor of Sir Charles, I’ve put together five videos that you will most certainly enjoy ...
