moochpuppy Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 I have not been able to find a link yet but on the radio this morning ABC has contacted Barkley about joining John Madden and Al Michaels in the MNF booth this season. Barkley is under contract with TNT that does not allow him to work for another network but he's rumored to be buying a percentage of the Phoenix Suns and then he would leave TNT for conflict of interest. Barkley is great entertainment and he is a decent basketball analyst but football? I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 I would tune in for a couple games to hear Sir Charles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerhead johnson Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Not a smart move. Don't get me wrong. I love Barkley. He's my favorite sports personality, I'd say. Hell, I'm drinking coffee out of my Barkley mug right now (as my Ron Kittle mug is in the dishwasher ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Be Good Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Wow . ABC will try anything... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochpuppy Posted May 19, 2004 Author Share Posted May 19, 2004 I don't think ABC would even be considering this if they could air better games but in this day and age of parity, matchups have gotten that much more difficult to choose.
