Some good news for your Monday Tony Kornheiser is out of the ESPN Monday Night Football booth to be replaced by former Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden (I will fight the urge for the Chucky references because everyone is going to be using that today).

Love Tony Kornheiser on PTI and on radio, but he was a disaster on Monday Night Football. I understand they wanted to interject some personality into the broadcast, but there were times last year that I am sure 60% of the viewing audience was watching on mute. If it wasn't for Ron Jawroksi there wouldn't have been any reason at all to watch.

Chris Webber was born in Detroit, Michigan. Very nice guy, very smart guy and he come across well on television. But sometimes when you come from the hood every once awhile no matter how much money you have and how refine you have become the hood comes out.

This would be one of those times. C Webb is not a fan of the Orlando Magic or I should say he is not a fan of how the Orlando Magic ignores big man Dwight Howard from time to time. The Magic blew home court advantage today to the 76ers mainly because they started jacking up threes and missing a lot of them.

Meanwhile Howard had 31 points but did not see the ball a lot down the stretch. Chris had pointed out at half time why that is a problem. While Kenny and Charles tried to be a diplomatic about it Chris let everyone especially Kenny Smith know how he felt about the situation.

His face at the 1:53 mark will forever be known as:

Yes folks according to TMZ.com, Charles Barkley is headed to jail.

Barkley just pleaded guilty to 2 counts of driving under the influence and pleaded "responsible" to running a stop sign for the December 31st incident in Scottsdale.

Barkley will begin his sentence on March 21 -- but it's unclear if he will serve time in Arizona's famed Tent City Jail, where they make the inmates wear pink.

I guess this means he can't call D-Wade from his T-Mobile phone from jail eh? Regardless I'm sure when he gets back it should be interesting to see what Ernie and Kenny have to say about all this seeing as how he just returned. Add that to his reality golf show expected to debut soon. There's never a dull moment with Charles. I wonder if Letterman will bring it up when Charles is slate to appear on the show next Monday night.

Unbeknown to me Charles Barkley was fired from T-Mobile after his drunken oral sex adventure, but not before he made one last T-Mobile commercial. Our friends at LayUpDrill.com have track down the last Chuck Wagon commercial you can watch it here.

More details are coming out from the Charles Barkley DUI arrest here are some classic details from TMZ.com & The Smoking Gun:

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 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."

I can not confirm or deny that I have ever ran a stop sign in the pursuit of Oral Sex, but I will say that Barkley is not the first and definitely won't be the last gentleman who have mad a bad decision in the pursuit of some outstanding "Oral Sex" I give you Exhibit A:

It appears that Charles Barkley started his New Year's Eve partying a little bit early and was nabbed on suspicion of drunk driving in Scottsdale, Arizona. Here is what the AP is reporting:

Mike Wintroath, Associated Press

"There was nothing unusual about how he was taken into custody," Shuhandler said. "He was treated exactly like we treat anybody else."

The real question I have is why is Barkley sweating like he just went a couple of rounds in the bedroom with Star Jones. What was he drinking?

More importantly did he call D Wade to bail him out? I mean he is in his Fav 5 right? Maybe he called Kenny and Ernie. Good thing Charles is not a role model because we have to think about the children.

Hate him or love him, King of Political "Incorrectness", Charles Barkley has a new mission and that mission is dismissing all this LeBron 2010 free agent talk. Despite the deliberate involvement of media antagonists and gossip mongers, Sir Charles is bent on proclaiming LeBron the main culprit in keeping the New York Knicks rumors going. In an interview Wednesday on the Dan Patrick radio show, Barkley took a shot at James in a misguided attempt at discouraging James from discussing his team loyalties and whereabouts in 2010, in a comment that more borderline insult than friendly plea.

"If I was LeBron James, I would shut the hell up," Barkley commented. "I'm a big LeBron fan. He's a stud. You gotta give him his props. I'm getting so annoyed he's talking about what he's going to do in two years. I think it's disrespectful to the game. I think it's disrespectful to the Cavaliers."

It's kind of like the old saying(s) goes, 'It takes two', ' Two wrongs don't make a right.' Take your pick. As outlandish as we all know Chuck can get in his opinions, Sir Charles has a point

50. "I can be bought. If they paid me enough, I'd work for the Klan."

49. "You got to believe in yourself. Hell, I believe I'm the best-looking guy in the world and I might be right."

48. "I don't hate anyone, at least not for more than 48 minutes, barring overtime."

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."

46. "You can talk without saying a thing. I don't ever want to be that type of person."

45. After retiring from basketball "I'm just what America needs - another unemployed black man.

44. Ernie: "Did they recognize you in South Dakota?"
Charles: "Yes, they did. It was easy because I was the only black person there. When they see me walking down the street they say 'There he goes again'. And when I come back the next year they say 'He's back yawl!'"

43. Right after Peja won the 3-point contest: "Kenny said it was going to be an all-international night. I want to know which international brother is going to win the slam dunk contest."

42. On the Enron scandal investigation: "Almost all those politicians took money from Enron, and there they are holding hearings. That's like O.J. Simpson getting in the Rae Carruth jury pool."

41. "I had to explain to my daughter why that skank Monica Lewinski has an hour special on HBO this weekend."

40. Ernie: "Auburn is a pretty good school. To graduate from there I suppose you really need to work hard and put forth maximum effort."
Charles: "20 pts and 10 rebounds will get you through also!"

It seems like Charles Barkley has been in the news all summer. First, his highly publicized gambling debt, then sending a busboy to college, and I recently posted about his new reality show on the Golf Channel. Now, he's going to have a televised colonoscopy, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. This is for the "Stand Up to Cancer" special that will be simulcast on CBS, NBC, and ABC which will air on September 5th. He will undergo this procedure this Friday in Alabama and said he was happy to do this so he can promote awareness in getting colonoscopies. Leave it to Charles to put it all out there.

According to USA Today, Charles Barkley is going to take part in a reality show on the Golf Channel called "Fix Charles Barkley's Swing." The show will begin taping in Dallas in two-weeks where the premise is that Hank Haney, Tiger's swing coach, will help him with his golf swing while the entire process is filmed. The YouTube clip shows the ugly state of Charles' swing. It doesn't matter what Sir Charles does, he will always find a way to make it entertaining.

Unfortunately, I don't know if the Lord himself can fix that atrocious swing. It looks like his body was invaded by a robot and, not just any robot, but a drunk robot. You just want to scream at the screen, "QUIT!!!". If anything, it will be funny to watch.

Charles Barkley should spend less time talking to D Wade and more time paying attention to his gambling debt. I agree with Chuck when he says that you only have a gambling problem if you can't afford it and when you put your family at risk. But when prosecuting attorneys are talking about filing felony charges against you, it is probably time to reassess your gambling addiction. I am sure Chuck has the money to pay back the $400,000, but the fact that he lost $400,000 should speak to the bigger problem that he has. It is coming to the time he should reach out for help.
