Charles Barkley + SNL = YES?

A few thoughts on Sir Charles’s 3rd appearance on SNL:

  1. Making fun of Shaq is always funny.  ”
    I’d rather be in Free Willy 2 thank Kazaam 1.”
  2. Why doesn’t the “Charles Barkley Post Game Translator App” exist?  I’d pay good money to have Charles Barkley in my pocket at all times.
  3. People know that making fun of Kelly Clarkson’s weight issues isn’t funny, right?  Yeah, let’s laugh at the girl who has a crazy awesome voice.
  4. Charles Barkley dressed as a lady? Not too terrible.  The skit?  Dreadful.
  5. #WhitePeopleProblems?  Hilarious.  ”That problem is so white it should go snowboarding.”
Since this episode didn’t give me that crazy awesome skit that I wanted, I leave you with this…my favorite “athlete” skit on SNL…
For the record, the failure of this SNL ep would not be Charles Barkley’s fault.  Pretty much none of the skits had much potential.

What Will You Find In Your Jeter Basket?

After seeing this gem of a post by the folks at Jezebel.com on whether or not you should sleep with Tim Tebow, it got me and a few of the other Aerys ladies talking:

If you slept with Tim Tebow, what would be in his Jeter Basket?  What would other athletes put in their Jeter Baskets?  Well, this is what we came up with…

Losing Weight With Sir Charles?

Your newest Weight Watchers spokesperson…Charles Barkley

Yep.  WW announced earlier this morning that the former NBA star and commentator will be the spokesperson for their new “Lose Like A Man” campaign.  Barkley evidently lost 27 pounds over 10 weeks on the program.

I really just hope they let him ad lib in the commercials…or at least let us see the outtakes.

Shaq Talks MMA, Wants To Fight Charles Oakley

Just because Shaquille O’Neal has retired from the NBA, don’t think he’s going away anytime soon — and who would want him to? He’s easily one of the most entertaining players in the history of the NBA. From his quips, to his movies and his career as a rapper, O’Neal is anything but bashful.

So when O’Neal appeared for a taping of HDNet’s Inside MMA show — which is scheduled to air tonight at 9 p.m. — he didn’t shy away from answering a question that asked who from the NBA he’d like to fight MMA style.

His answer may surprise some people. He chose to go with some fellow NBA retirees.

Former New York Knicks forward and Charlotte Bobcats assistant coach Charles Oakley was No. 1 on Shaq’s list followed by current TNT analyst Charles Barkley, former Utah Jazz All-Star Karl Malone, former journeyman Xavier McDaniel and Danny Ainge.

Wait. I get all of his choices. Oakley and McDaniel were pretty badass when they played. So were Barkley and Malone, but Ainge? Really Shaq? Are we talking about the Danny Ainge? Current president/GM of the Boston Celtics?

Apparently, according to Shaq, Ainge nearly bit Tree Rollins’ finger off. I’m sure that move isn’t legal, even in MMA.

In case you don’t have HDNet, here’s a clip for your enjoyment:
