Charles Barkley Calls Producer a 'P*ssy'

You sportnistas were probably on this already. Sir Charles - (sidebar: are we still calling him that, by the way?) - who has been doing a great commentating job since returning to TNT after spending time in JAIL for DUI while on his way to get a professional, got a little familiar with the show's producer during Saturday night's Inside The NBA broadcast.

As Ernie Johnson was giving the producer (Tim Kiely) props for a job well done, Charles Barkley took it upon himself to call him a "pussy."



BTW: He'll keep his job. The network released this statement:
"While Charles often makes jokes about his producer during our telecasts, he used poor judgment on Saturday during our NBA coverage. His comment was inappropriate and TNT apologizes to our viewers. We have spoken with Charles privately about it and will not have any further comment."
