Where Was Charles Barkley Going When He Got That DUI?

I think I got sweat on my hands from uploading this picture

If you haven't heard, Sir Charles Barkley was arrested for a DUI earlier this week. What amazes me about this story is that it gets weirder and weirder, and yet I still find Charles just as lovable as I did before. Well that all might have changed after these little statements he made according to the police incident report:

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."

The report says when Barkley was taken to the station, he told one of the employees, "I'll tattoo my name on your ass" if he helped "get him out of the DUI." According to the report, "He laughed and then quickly corrected himself and said, 'I'll tattoo your name on my ass' and then laughed again."

The report also says officers "found a handgun in the vehicle" which was immediately impounded. The report doesn't say if the handgun was legal or not, and the only thing that we know for sure was loaded...

I'm not going to lie, he still seems pretty lovable to me. I don't know how those Alabama voters are going to feel about voting for him for Governor or Senator now, however. He's looking more and more like the Round Mound of Rehab than the Governor of anything.

• How does one make a funny commercial? Take Wade, Barkley and Yao and put them in it. "Eat the head!".
• Looks like the price of Cubs tickets isn't going to go up. Considering how expensive games are when the Cubs suck, I don't think anyone could have afforded a hike now that they are competitive.
• Chicago Bulls get their first much-needed win of the Circus trip in Golden State. Then they blew it down the stretch last night in Denver. At least the Bulls have won as many games on this trip as the past 2 combined.

Barkley v. Barney

I don't know if anyone remembers this, but I found this video via BDL. I would say that Barney's defense is a bit suspect, but that's just me.

Charles Barkley Talks; Everybody Listens

Thanks to Judd for sending me this link. Normally something like this would just go in the Daily Links for you to peruse, but it's too good not to get its own post. Top 50 Charles Barkley quotes. Among my favorite are:

47. "We better not be doing the Bulls this year. Man, they suck! Bunch of high school kids with $70 million contracts. Damn! I hate my mother for having me too soon."

39. "Every time I think about changing a diaper, I run a little bit harder
and a little bit faster to make sure I can afford a nanny until my daughter's
old enough to take care of that herself."

12. I'd never buy my girl a watch... she's already got a clock over the
stove.

1. After an Olympic Dream Team victory over Angola, in which they won
116-48, Charles got into a physical altercation with a member of Angola towards
the end of the game, afterwards he says: "Somebody hits me, I'm going to hit him
back. Even if it does look like he hasn't eaten in a couple weeks. I thought he
was going to pull a spear on me."

Honestly please read the whole list on the link. It's worth it.

Charles Barkley Rips MJ For A Bad Golf Shot

The actual video isn't that funny I guess, but I just find it hilarious that Berkley is giving Jordan shit about his golf game for two reasons. 1) Barkley has the ugliest golf swing in history; and 2) You know Jordan is just steaming about this. Remember how he used to get with the Bulls when someone talked shit about/to him? He went nuts, but in this case there's nothing he can do. Hilarious. Here's the video via NESW:
