Off his driver, you ninny...
Charles was part of the celebrity element of the Champions Tour event in Birmingham. Everyone knows about his swing problems on the golf course, and they're still there...
But some thing you just can't make up...

Tracy Morgan Thinks Sarah Palin Is Good For Something...
((HT: NBA on TNT/Awful Announcing))
Yeah, and EJ could not have tried to toss to break any sooner than he did...
Try and follow that one up, Charles...

Charles Barkley Does Not Like Pop-Quizzes
((HT: NBA on TNT/Deadspin))
On questions of national importance such as what follows here... the Round Mound is left to do nothing but utter words better said on cable television...
The HQ would like to remind him about red-heads...

Barkley finds a Birdie in the TNT Studio
((Big Thanks to Fanhouse and Larry Brown Sports for this story))
We all have gotten a good laugh listening to Charles Barkley pontificate...or at least try to on TNT's Inside the NBA. We also know that Mr. Barkley does a lot of...well...uncensored kind of things that he gets sort of in trouble for and then he apologizes and everyone says "Awwww....it's just Charles being Charles".
We get that, really, we do. No, he really doesn't add tons of "Basketball" insight to the show anymore, but he is entertaining and a great foil for partner Kenny Smith and he keeps one of the best hosts in the business, Ernie Johnson Junior on his toes.
With that set up. Check out what Barkley kind of accidentally on purpose lets loose on the set of the the show the other night. We also think Ernie's attempt and playing it off was pretty funny too.

Johnny Weir + Charles Barkley= Comedy Gold
These were two of the reasons that "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" was actually worth watching last night...
Weir, Barkley, Ernie Johnson Junior, and Kenny Smith all guested on Leno's otherwise-unfunny program ((See the "Toyota Whisperer" sketch as proof))...
Here was the open- where a lot of fabric was used in the making of said sketch...

Your Yearly Ernie Johnson, Jr. Feature
((HT: AJC/Hummer))
Most people looking at the Weavers simply would have seen a nice couple. Two people who’d traveled from Los Angeles to get behind the scenes of Atlanta’s “NBA on TNT” show, after buying the opportunity at a charity auction.
But Charles Barkley, the resident magpie on TNT’s popular, long-running show, saw an audience.
“You came all this way to hang out with boring ol’ Ernie Johnson?” Barkley, the former NBA star and most outspoken basketball analyst on the tube, said loud enough to be heard by the Weavers. And by Johnson, sitting nearby trying to finish a salad. And possibly by any professor working the underwater acoustics tank at nearby Georgia Tech. Yes, Barkley’s loud.
“Oh, we want to hang out with you and [visiting former player] Chris Webber,” answered Charisse Weaver.
Barely audible, between bites of spring mix, Johnson emitted the perfectly timed, bemused, “Thanks.”
There it is, Ernie Johnson Jr.’s professional life in summary.
For the 19th year, Johnson is reprising his award-winning role of anchor on Turner’s NBA telecasts, an Ozzie Nelson-plays-the-Apollo kind of gig that is recognized as one of the best in the business. He has a shiny Emmy Award to prove it.
As part of TNT’s NBA package, the studio show breaks down issues and action during pre-game, halftime and post-game segments. Barkley and Kenny Smith are the one-time players who bring the big opinions. Johnson is the temperate voice, in charge of such mundane stuff as facts and reason. Someone has to be the tether at the Macy’s parade, the broom at Mardi Gras.
Johnson has another way to depict his role on a set that is particularly hectic during these endless weeks of playoffs:
“To the viewing public, yeah, I’m the guy with the big forehead that Charles always makes fun of on TV. But there’s a little more to it than that.”
That “little more” consists partly of a wife with a calendar full of causes, a family that is a three-continent quilt and one long, intimate conversation with mortality.
Step back from the flat-screen image and look at the other dimensions of a television straight man. Then you find the NBA playoffs are hardly the only place where amazing happens.
The rest of the really, cool piece is in black...
The audio version is right here...
And that gave us the excuse to post this...

Charles Barkley's Swing Is Still Not Fixed...
((HT: al.com))
The pro-am being played today at the Regions Charity Classic includes Alabama coach Nick Saban, Auburn coach Gene Chizik, former NBA and Auburn star Charles Barkley and American Idol Taylor Hicks, among many others.
Barkley's swing is, well, not good. He has been on the Golf Channel this season working with golf coach Hank Haney. Here's what Charles thinks about his swing guru...
