The announcement by Turner Sports came on Friday, hours after police said the 45-year-old Hall of Famer was legally drunk when he was arrested on Dec. 31 on suspicion of drunken driving in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Barkley will be off the air for a minimum of several weeks, and no return date has been set, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. The person requested anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss it.

Barkley is an imbecile and egotist who believes he is fit to foolishly comment on Repubublan politicians.

The only reason he has a good name is the media protects his whoring from the public. This time he was caught driving drunk and told the police the reason he was driving so fast was so he could get a Lewinsky. Funny how ESPN and everyone is not reporting that. \s

Pathetic loser trash. If you ask me nice I'll tell you what I really think.
