Can It Chuck

He may be wrong, but he doubts it.  I know he's wrong, I don't doubt it.  Charles Barkley has lost some weight but he's also lost his mind.  I've honestly started to think that TNT keeps him on as a NBA analyst for the mere fact that his absurd commentary provides some sort of comedic entertainment.

For example, just last night after the Lakers took a 2-0 commanding lead over the Denver Nuggets, host Ernie Johnson asked Barkley if he still thinks the Nuggets are going to win the series.  Are you serious? Why Barkley even thought that was a logical pick in the first place is beyond me.  But to think the Nuggets can still win after being down 2-0 to a clearly more dominant team is preposterous.

And what's up with these Weight Watchers advertisements?  First of all, how can you go from representing Taco Bell to Weight Watchers?  That'd be like Derek Jeter signing with the Boston Red Sox after his contract expires with the Yankees.  Second of all, Barkley himself admitted that Weight Watchers is a complete scam, basically saying he is making easy money for being their spokesman.  But to be honest, that's probably Weight Watchers' fault more so than it is Barkley's.  As it is though, Barkley runs his mouth more than he runs on the treadmill and that's been his M.O. ever since he retired from the NBA.
