"Saban, aka: “Nick Satan”

How you people throw around the name of the evil one so nonchalantly never ceases to amaze me. Calling him Sabear or $aban not mean and ugly enough to satisfy your Saban Derangement Syndrome?? lol

"Chucky played around with being a Pubbie some years ago."

I don't follow basketball so wasn't really aware of Barkley until Rush talked about him a few times years ago. I found out he had played college ball in Alabama and that was cool. THEN I started hearing stuff right from Barkley himself and changed my opinion! lol

Thanks for the link to this clip. in 2014, all it will take is showing it on Alabama television and his plans to govern our state will be ‘gone with the wind’-bag.

If Charles Barkley is still planning on running for public office, he better make sure to register as a Democrat. Otherwise this will become a campaign issue.

He switche parties a few years ago.

Top Ten Barkley quotes:

10. On the Portland Trail Blazers (back when they were known as the Jail Blazers) serving Thanksgiving meals: “In between arrests they do community service.”

9. “Yeah Ernie, its called defense, I mean I wouldn’t know anything about it personally but I’ve heard about it through the grapevine.

8. “Well, when I went off to college, the guys I used to hang with were pumping gas and voting Democrat. Today they’re still pumping gas and voting Democrat. Guess the Democrats didn’t do much for them.”

7. “When I was recruited at Auburn [university], they took me to a strip joint. When I saw those titties on Buffy, I knew that Auburn met my academic requirements.”

6. “Hey Stanley, you could be a great player if you learned just two words: I’m full.”— Barkley yelling to 300-plus-pound Houston Rockets teammate Stanley Roberts

5. “I heard Tonya Harding is calling herself the Charles Barkley of figure skating. I was going to sue her for defamation of character, but then I realized I have no character.”

4. On the All-Star Game: “Hell, there ain’t but 15 black millionaires in the whole country & half of ‘em are right here in this room.”

3. On Jerry Krause still being able to keep his job as GM of the Chicago Bulls: “Jerry Krause must have pictures of his boss’s wife having sex with a monkey.”

2. After throwing a guy through a 1st floor window in a bar Charles was in front of the judge.
Judge: “Your sanctions are community service and a fine, do you have any regrets?”
Charles: “Yeah I regret we weren’t on a higher floor”

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.”

you'll laugh... I had to google Voldemort!

I've only seen one Pirates of the Caribbean movies, muchless gotten started on the Harry Potter books and movies! lol

I understand the simplicity of combining the hate people feel for Coach Saban and the one letter change, really I do. Phat Phil, Wingnut, LeSmiles.. and there's always JeaLSU, UcheaT, Old Sis, the barn etc.. fun stuff! It's just the word I don't like.

Back on topic... Barkley's a jerk and IF this is a legitimate arrest I hope he bears the consequences of his actions.

Wow... I thought maybe the 'Sir Charles' tag came from his athletic abilities. I believe I was wrong! The man has quite an opinion of himself!

I love how he equates buying a house in Alabama with being a resident of Alabama. Guess he thinks he's going to come in and save all us down here and show us the light!! woohoo!!

New Yorkers have never been overly concerned about the which state the senator’s reside in.

Actually, a “Michigan Man” coined it for me.

“much less gotten started on the Harry Potter books” Read them all last summer. Took about 3 months of RWC (Reading While Commuting). Well worth it. Great reads.

If Barkley:

1. had a woman in the car
2. drove the car over a bridge
3. and killed the woman

he could run as a Liberal Senator in Massachussets and get elected.

Barkley: All I Really Wanted Was Oral Sex

Posted Dec 31st 2008 6:44PM by TMZ Staff

This may be the very best police report of 2008. When Charles Barkley was busted in Arizona early this morning for DUI, he told cops he ran a stop sign because he was in a hurry to get some oral sex.

The cops stopped Barkley after he allegedly ran a stop sign. 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...
