Charles Barkley Singing "One Shining Moment" Is A Thing Of Natural Beauty
Excellent. Sir Charles sings almost as well as he golfs.
Chuck, man. TBS puts him on their March Madness A-Team and he legitimately doesn’t watch a single college basketball game until the tournament. Even then it’s debatable if he knows what’s going on. And you know what? That’s fine by me. Let the man spout out whatever he wants, when he wants. Everything Sir Charles says and does is entertaining as all hell. That’s what is great about this big man. Just give me Chuck being Chuck on every station doing the damn thing. TNT, The Food Network, QVC. Anything would be watchable with Sir Charles running his mouth. Look, everyone knows I love this man. I’m Round-Mound of Rebound for life. He threw all the fucks he had out the window at a Wendy’s Drive-Thru at Auburn in 1982 and has never looked back. How great is it that the PC Police has essentially given up on Barkley at this point? Almost any other media personality would be ridiculed and required to apologize for most of the comments Barkley makes. Sir Charles pisses where he pleases and not only doesn’t give a shit, but gets praised in the process. Long live the king.
Obligatory: With any Sir Charles post, we present the list –
