My Favorite Blank

Charles Barkley had a little time to gamble in the fall of 2007, but during that good time he ran up a bill of $400,000 at an adult club in Las Vegas. The ex-NBA star has yet to pay that money back and Vegas officials from the Clark Superior Court in Nevada said they have made several attempts to get this money back and they will pursue legal action if the money is not paid back soon. Charles Barkley has said that he would pay the money back and insists that he is not broke.

I am a fan of Charles Barkley and love watching him on TNT after the basketball games they cover. However, the first game match up with the San Antonio Spurs and New Orleans Hornets, a halftime display went wrong and to put out the fire, crews had to bring in fire extinguishers to put out the flames. This playoff game was delayed due to the mascot for the Hornets having to jump through a ring of fire while dunking a basketball. Since the fire extinguishers had to be brought in to contain the situation, this caused a delay in the game and the show after the game from TNT was delayed. Obviously Charles Barkley had plans that night and did not stick around for the show after that game. I only watched the end of the Spurs and Hornets game, just so I could see what Chuck had to say. He’s funny and well worth watching his commentary after the games on TNT. When Charles faked a sickness (at least Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson was saying this), it made me feel like I had been stood up. If Charles wants to go out and do his own thing and hearing these latest charges from Vegas he has refuse to pay, I would hope TNT makes the necessary changes and removes Charles Barkley from all their NBA coverage. We do not need to support people like this in our society and Charles obviously has a lot more going on for him than most of the people in this country. If he doesn’t choose to use his fame and fortune for something good, like entertaining NBA fans on the games on TNT; then I would hope TNT steps up to the plate and makes an example here. No more Charles Barkley on TNT and I don’t plan to watch any games on TNT that Charles Barkley is still apart of. So let’s rid our television with the people like Charles Barkley and we don’t need high class trash like his self that only cares for him self and has no regards to his fans in the NBA community.
