Yeah and Allen Iverson is playing basketball because he'd get broken in pieces on the gridiron.Quote:

Is that a cause?
Jub-jub is Selma's pet iguana on the Simpson's. Selma is Marge's sister. Conan was a writer on that show when the name was coined.Quote:

I would love to have seen Charles Barkley try and run up the seam and catch a pass as a TE in the NFL when he was younger. He would've come off the field crying like a baby...
...I suppose next he'll say he didn't play golf because basketball was more of a challenge

The problem I have with that statement is that while he was playing he was a role model weather he wanted to be or not.Quote:

These guys have an influence on us, dude.
Think what a kid is learning from their behavior.
Do what you want after your out of the league, but be professional when you are in it.
Still think Barkley is a crack up though.

Just to make a point...Barkley said he isn't a role model, but unlike too many of today's punks he composed himself in a manner that was reasonable and honorable. He didn't get in trouble with the law, or beat women, do drugs or even get DUIs that I'm aware of. He had a bit of a temper on the court, but really most good players do get pretty intense.
I like the guy, and I think his main point is that if he is your kids main role model, your kid has some serious problems at home...YOU!!!
I've heard this line of reasoning before, and perhaps it is the case as far as he is concerned, however, it does not negate the fact that when these guys place themselves in the lime light then there are going to be kids that look up to them regardless of whether or not they want them to.Quote:

Well said, and I agree; his on court extra curricular activities seem to pale in comparison to the kind of garbage that goes on today.Quote:
