Charles Barkley (merged all)

I've really enjoyed listening to the coaches they've had in for the studio shows. They've all brought the goods so far. I've particularly liked Phil Martelli of St. Joseph's. He had a lot of good insights early yesterday on zone defenses.

I don't think Charles was brought in to provide any "expert analysis." He is there for sheer entertainment value and you have to admit, he fills that role well. Last night: "I have one last comment. TNT, please, please don't play Speed 2 again after the game tonight. Please." :lol:

Actually it was "Kill Bill 2."

I laughed at that as well.

Charles did open Thursday's telecast with these words:

"The Big East is overrated."

Three days later, 7 of their 11 bids are out including a 1 seed. He got that much right, even though he had that 1 seed in his final four.

Yeah. Speed 2 was actually on TBS. :lol:

Damn, I initially put TBS and then changed it to TNT...my memory is turning to mush. He discussed Speed 2 before Kill Bill Vol. 2. The Chuck-wagon approves of Kill Bill Vol. 1, but thinks they should have stopped at Vol. 1.

Chuck's quotes during his DUI arrest in 2009 are the best though:

According to the officer who wrote the report, "He told me that he ran the stop sign because he was in a hurry to pick up the girl I saw get in the passenger seat."

The officer continues: "He asked me to admit that she was 'hot.' He asked me, 'You want the truth?' When I told him I did he said, 'I was gonna drive around the corner and get a b**w job. He then explained that she had given him a 'b**w job' one week earlier and said it was the best one he had ever had in his life."

...

And, in simply amazing Tommy Boy fashion, Barkley allegedly extended the offer to "tattoo my name on your ass" towards a civilian police employee at the police station if he could sneak out of the DUI, which he quickly (I suppose) corrected.

It says something about sports analysis when The Onion is as accurate a news source as anyone else.

Strengths: This tough defensive team won't get blown out when they lose early in the tournament

Weaknesses: Panthers have some players who can do it all; unfortunately, they also have players who literally can't do anything
