Barkley now off the air

1/9/09, LATER AFTERNOON

Charles Barkley, maligned in recent days because of a DUI arrest, is taking a leave of absence from his television gig at Turner Broadcasting.

Charles Barkley to Take Leave of Absence From TNT Network

Jan. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Charles Barkley will take a leave of absence from Time Warner Inc.’s TNT network after the basketball analyst was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol last week.

“When I spoke with Charles, he was apologetic for the events that transpired and it was obvious he understood the significance of this situation,” David Levy, president of Turner Sports, said in an e-mail.

Roland said...: I hope Rush and Bowden have some success. Two very interesting guys.; 4:12 PM
Emmett said...: Wow, Rush Propst and Bowden...can Florence handle both of those Wild and Crazy Guys...Maybe they will change their mascot to the UNA Fighting Napoleon Complex; 4:14 PM
Miller said...: Couple question and a comment then I'll hang up and listen...
1) What is a quality control coach? And who is this guy Rodriguez that Chiz has supposedly hired for quality control?
2) Al.com says Randle has rescheduled his official to Auburn for Feb 4. Isn't that signing day? Odd?

Comment:
Rush and Tot should make an interesting pair @ UNA.; 4:14 PM
Roland said...: Fighting Napolean Complex...GREAT; 4:15 PM
Harrison said...: how many rumored/true affairs have tot and propst been accused of. think that number will climb higher at una. good female:male ratio; 4:16 PM
Emmett said...: I think the count is 4 and one secret family...And I agree UNA is a school/town that they could get into alot of trouble; 4:18 PM
Roland said...: I was @ AU when tot was there (lucky me). He went to church w/ my girlfriend at the time. She said he is hard to talk to because he is just so much smarter than everyone. That was the most ridiculous thing ever to come out of her mouth. Needless to say she was soon an ex.; 4:18 PM
Harrison said...: good decision there crimson. I was also at AU for the last couple of tot's years. turrible; 4:20 PM
Roland said...: I was witness to the power running of Markeith "the Lizard" Cooper; 4:22 PM
Emmett said...: Did she also say Tim Tebow was the 4th best Big 12 QB?; 4:22 PM
Harrison said...: he was a bruiser.; 4:24 PM

Jeremy Eubanks said...: Lock up your daughters, Florence.; 4:24 PM
Roland said...: Markeith may be the first AU player I remember having a "grill"; 4:24 PM
Emmett said...: The Lizard was the best, Lets take a player smaller than my 5yr old little cousin, and make him our RB/WR/KR...thats why Bowden was a recruiting mastermind; 4:26 PM
Roland said...: I think Rusty Willams was the other tailback.; 4:26 PM

Harrison said...: dont forget demontray carter. who i thought could have been decent if we could run block at all; 4:27 PM
Roland said...: I did like demontray...completely forgot about him but I did like him.; 4:29 PM
AUBigCat said...: Barkley hit the trifecta:
Illegal Sex, alcohol & jail time.

He might not be be Governor material but he is a perfect candidate for Congress.; 4:30 PM
Emmett said...: Carters big issue was that he ran standing strait up, he got killed at AU and at Troy; 4:30 PM
tigerfan44 said...: Personally not a fan of Propst but he is a good coach. Won everywhere he has coached. TOT and Propst personalities seem like they would clash.; 4:32 PM
Roland said...: Who was the cornerback with the bleached hair? He was "dating" that same girl's roomate for a while. He left his backpack open in the living room floor once. The contents : one strobe light, one can of whip cream, one bottle hershey's syrup.; 4:32 PM
tigerfan44 said...: Meyer ass slap from game last night. (funny)

Harrison said...: he also had a python he carried around his neck...he was like sisqo before sisqo was sisqo; 4:38 PM

Emmett said...: My Wife saw #1 slap him and was in shock, she was laughing so hard she was in tears....Urban wanted to act all mad, but he knew Harvin was just excited; 4:39 PM
michael said...: One strobe light, one can of whip cream, and one bottle hershey's syrup are three things necessary for making a profit in my goat business. Did the cornerback you speak of also carry around a French-to-Russian dictionary? I may hire him if he is still around.; 4:39 PM
Roland said...: I loved the demolition man hair style going around back then.; 4:39 PM
Roland said...: That was probably the contents of his backpack when he went to class earlier that day. They say Goats are very profitable right now.; 4:41 PM
Emmett said...: Was Clifton one of the guys we had to bring onto the basketball team for a season, i cant remember.....Also isn't he in Jail right now?; 4:42 PM

Emmett said...: Bye King; 4:46 PM
Quitstina said...: Mchiealjanterri, where do you come up with this stuff? You crack me up...; 4:47 PM
michael said...: I don't know, Kristina. Nonsense flows out like diarrhea. I had an entire conversation with myself earlier today just to get over 600 comments on an earlier post. I should probably seek professional help... or continue to be awesome. Yeah, I think I will just continue to be awesome.; 4:49 PM
Jet said...: Emmett ... yeah he played hoops one year ... he may be out now ... he was sentenced to 10 years in the joint/8 suspended for hitting an off-duty deputy in the jaw ... with a brick.

His rape charge in Auburn was lowered to a contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

He stole $5,700 in checks while in high school ... he's had a weapons charge and DUI since Auburn.

A fine representative of our institution.; 4:51 PM
Quitstina said...: Well I think you and your blog are hilarious...so keep up the awesomeness.; 4:55 PM
Emmett said...: Wow, he was a total screwup; 4:58 PM
FSJ said...: **cough**; 4:58 PM
Harrison said...: surprising an engineer can be that funny. i hung out with some when i lived in huntsville. believe me, they were not funny. Unless coffee breath and 20 hours of Halo every weekend is funny; 5:01 PM
astatguy said...: I'm pumped. I think a Randle visit this weekend would have been good, but no cigar. We have a chance now to have a top flight QB (Beaver's my choice) committed before he comes. If so, we get either him or Kelly. Two more brewskies and I'll say both!; 5:01 PM
Quitstina said...: I'm married to an engineer so maybe that explains everything...; 5:01 PM
Harrison said...: yep, it does kristina; 5:06 PM
Harrison said...: we were all single guys with good jobs and these morons wanted to play Halo all saturday long. not drink and chase girls like i wanted to; 5:06 PM
Kathy said...: I guess my dad was the exception to the rule. He was an engineer at NASA and the FUNNIEST man I've ever known.; 5:07 PM
Kathy said...: Interesting news regarding Propst. Nothing on the news in North Alabama yet. Guy can coach, among other things, apparently!; 5:09 PM
Quitstina said...: Well my husband wasnt like that at all Harrison....

Although whenever I would eat lunch with his work friends, I would be like "wow, you are the coolest engineer apparently." So I know what you're saying. They are a different breed.; 5:10 PM
Kathy said...: I work for an engineering company in Huntsville, and I know exactly what you mean. My dad was way too cool for that crowd.; 5:12 PM
Harrison said...: they sure are kristina. i'm sure your husband is super cool though; 5:13 PM
Emmett said...: Shavodrick Beavers would be a nice add, even if we did not have him at QB. He has been flip/flopping between alot of teams, so who knows what he could do. I have not gotten my hopes up on Randle...I just love the fact we are willing to balls up and fight for a 5 star guy...before our recruiting plan was to pan the river for gold flakes...now we are blowing holes in the side of mountains, looking for goldmines; 5:14 PM
michael said...: Engineers come in all sizes, that's for sure. There are many socially inept engineers. Luckily there is a large group of us who graduated at the same time from Auburn and are now living in Huntsville, so we have a support system.

But yeah, I still do nerdy engineering things from time to time (like calculating the speed we are moving due to the Earth's rotation. I did this for fun last month when a guy I was hanging out with wondered it out loud), but overall I think I do alright.; 5:15 PM
Kathy said...: Randle would sure be a great surprise. When was the last time we got a highly touted recruit?; 5:16 PM
Quitstina said...: Milcheala, my husband is on autocad right now drawing up plans for the playhouse he's building.

The man draws everything out in autocad...; 5:18 PM
Harrison said...: what was the answer michael?
we pharmacists are way cooler than engineers, we like to party; 5:18 PM
Quitstina said...: Kathy, seems like a while huh?; 5:19 PM
Emmett said...: The last big sign I can think of was Cadillac; 5:20 PM
michael said...: seems like it was roughly 1000 mph. Can't remember, someone google it.

My friend and I got there by knowing each day is about 23 hr and 56 min, and I remembered the radius of the earth is about 6300 km. From there it's simple calculations and cross multiplying and the such

Kristina - I don't know autocad, but I use programming languages for fun from time to time. And I set up a really complicated family budget in excel that my wife makes fun of me for but still uses.

Wasn't McFadden a really high profile recruit?; 5:23 PM
Miller said...: DeMarco McNeil hired as Defensive Quality Control?; 5:25 PM
Emmett said...: McFadden was a 3 star...It was between Us, Mich. State, Illinois, and S. Flordia; 5:27 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: speed would also depend on latitude; 5:28 PM
Harrison said...: my honda goes that fast; 5:28 PM
Quitstina said...: Yeah no comment on the making fun of the excel budget he made but still using it. I dont know anything about that..nope...none at all...; 5:28 PM
Kathy said...: D. Miller I thought he already hired a Defensive Quality Control guy. Gabriel Rodriguez; 5:29 PM
Dear Leader said...: remember Senor Pedro Cherry.....

Busted Cherry....; 5:29 PM
Emmett said...: I want McNeil on staff, plus he cant hurt recruiting in Mobile; 5:31 PM
Kathy said...: D. Miller, never mind, I'm reading on al.com. Glad DeMarco is staying around.; 5:31 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: 25,000/24 x cosine of your latitude to see how fast the Earth is rotating where you are.; 5:32 PM
Miller said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 5:33 PM
Harrison said...: is that equivalent to the air speeq velocity of an unladen sparrow; 5:34 PM
Miller said...: returning as a GA.... good for DeMarco... I like him, glad to see he's sticking around.; 5:35 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: i thought it was an african swallow? in either case... I don't knowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww; 5:36 PM
Emmett said...: Gabe Rodriguez was WR and RB's at E. New Mexico, but was working on D as a grad Ast. at ISU...He is in the middle of getting his Masters @ ISU; 5:36 PM
Dear Leader said...: SOLDIER #1: It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question
of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.
ARTHUR: Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur
from the Court of Camelot is here.
SOLDIER #1: Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs
to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?
ARTHUR: Please!
SOLDIER #1: Am I right?
ARTHUR: I'm not interested!
SOLDIER #2: It could be carried by an African swallow!
SOLDIER #1: Oh, yeah, an African swallow maybe, but not a European swallow.
That's my point.
SOLDIER #2: Oh, yeah, I agree with that.; 5:37 PM
Harrison said...: spectacular leader.; 5:38 PM
michael said...: Good point TarHeelTiger. Our calculations were for the equator.; 5:40 PM

I'm happy for him. He wants to be at Auburn and now he gets to stay.; 5:54 PM
Emmett said...: Astatguy - I think Tubs just thought he did not need to recruit guys that high...he was the Jed Clampett of recruiting. He would just shoot ater a bunch of 3stars and sometimes he would strike oil with a guys like Ronnie B. or Karlos D; 5:56 PM

wtc said...: Hornet-Looking for a way to let a coach principal know how unsportsmanlike it was to beat a high school team by @70 points and still pressing with under 2:00 to go. When the visitors held the ball with under 50 seconds, the coach had his players foul to get he ball back. They were trying to hit 100. Other than beat them badly next year, if you can, what would you recommend if anything.

Just curious. I thought it was very unprofessional.; 10:23 PM
wtc said...: BTW, I have no child in this game. just there to watch a game and the winning team is pretty good but the other team was really bad.; 10:29 PM
Hornet said...: wtc - there is no place for that kind of behavior in athletics. If you feel that strongly about it, email the principal/AD/coach, or if you want to get real dirty, send a letter to the editor of your local newspaper with your thoughts.
emails can usually be found on school websites; 10:33 PM
wtc said...: Thanks Hornet. I am going to wait until Saturday to make sure I am calm about it. Did I mention he put the starters back in with 5:00 to go and he was up by 50.

Back in the day, the first one down the lane would have had to crawl back up court. Most coaches used to respect each other, but I have seen too many games in thepast two years where they just try to run it up big; 10:42 PM

You probably already know this but, they hardly shed, travel very well, fit it well with the family and are a small dog without the small dog attitude. We took in a stray 11 years ago and don't want 2 dogs, but one day in the future, we will welcome another Westie to the family. We bred our Westie twice, which was a great learning experience for the family.; 8:25 AM

Kathy said...: PF, what a cute puppy! It took me 16 years after the death of my last dog to get a new dog. She is now 7 years old. They become a very important member of the family which can not be replaced. Enjoy that puppy. They grow up so fast.; 9:00 AM
