I love Charles Barkley, I just wish blogs would stop posting about him
As the Bears try to stop Tim Tebow from his sixth straight victory on Sunday amid a fever pitch of attention on the polarizing Denver Broncos quarterback, Charles Barkley made a plea to Chicago: Stop the madness.
"I want to make a personal plea to Lance Briggs, Brian Urlacher, Mr. [Julius] Peppers, please stop the madness," Barkley said Friday on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000.
OK, so you were on ESPN radio talking about Tebow.
"I'm just so tired ...
And you're tired of hearing about Tebow?
I like Tim Tebow. He seems like a good kid, and I wish him success, but I am Tebowed out."
That's fair enough, but aren't you just-
"It's clearly a media-driven story," Barkley said. "They just want you to argue about Tim Tebow. Dude, let the kid play."
Again.
"It's clearly a media-driven story," Barkley said. "They just want you to argue about Tim Tebow. Dude, let the kid play."
And one more time.
"It's clearly a media-driven story," Barkley said. "They just want you to argue about Tim Tebow. Dude, let the kid play."
Words fail me.
"If he can play, good. If he can't play it will show. But to have this argument every single day after five or six games is just ridiculous.
"Tim Tebow is a good player. I wish him luck, but if I don't ever hear the words Brett Favre or Tim Tebow again it won't be enough."
ENOUGH ALREADY! Stop it with the Tebow, media members using media to distribute their opinions about Tebow all the time! If you media types would just shut up about the guy Chuck would really appreciate it. To be fair, he obviously said all this in response to someone asking him his Tebow-related thoughts so it would be kind of hard to avoid the issue. On the other hand, my man Drew Rosenhaus knows a little something about how to convey that you don't want to answer something. All you have to do is command the questioner to ask the next question.
