His upcoming sabbatical is the result of his recent DUI arrest and has been reported as “a minimum of several weeks,” which is obviously horrible news for Inside the NBA fans. The only silver lining here is that a month without Sir Charles won’t be quite as difficult to take this year as it normally would be since we at least have Tuesday Fan Night over on NBA TV as a fill-in.
No word on who will fill-in for Barkley, but I bet CWebb will be involved on a few occasions — and it will at least be interesting to see how Webber and Kenny can run things without Barkley around.
Regardless, hurry back, Charles.
UPDATE: The T-Mobile campaign featuring Charles has been at least postponed and, me thinks, they may drop the Chuckster altogether. It’s their company so whatever, but I’m really perplexed as to why this whole thing is such a big deal. Aren’t outrageous and sophmoric antics half the reason why he was hired in the first place?
