Charles Barkley’s “Analysis” For Syracuse-Montana Was Completely Worthless and Frankly, Embarrassing [Video]

All, Charles Barkley, College Basketball, Media Gossip/Musings, Video Jason McIntyre March 22nd. 2013, 1:25pm

While Harvard was in the midst of upsetting New Mexico late Thursday night, Charles Barkley and the gang were in the studio talking about the Syracuse/Montana game. I tweeted about how worthless Barkley’s “analysis” was, and now here’s video for your enjoyment.

I get the appeal of CBS having Barkley in the studio because he’s a “star,” but Charles, if you’re going to speak in circles about nothing and offer worthless generalities for :35, why not sit up there and crack jokes about Jim Boeheim or the state of Montana or Craig Sager’s bracket tie? Where’s the freelance stuff you excel in? Jeff Goodman was right.

That was the last game last night, right? Chuck had a full day… he was probably just tired.
(He also said Montana is playing Arizona sometime in there)

I love Charles but he is really out of place here. At times, it seems like he’d being fed lines for his analysis. It also hurts not having Ernie Johnson around with him.

“Actually it is a match made in marketing heaven,” the Post quotes a source as saying. “It immediately makes him more sympathetic, and makes Vonn a household name as she reaches a crucial point in her skiing career, the 2014 Winter Olympics. They know the sponsors are watching.”

But isn’t Charles Barkley’s analysis correct? I mean, you can listen to these guys give a deep analysis all day, but that’s what it comes down to. studio shows are meant to be entertaining, not informative.

Charles seemed a little bit out of his element and didn’t offer much but it’s possible he was horrified by the commercials for Shaq’s “comedy” show and was feeling shellshocked. Also, it’s possible that the worst blowout of a long day coming at the end of the day didn’t lend itself to any kind of inspiration.

This is so true.
Gameological: Do you ever revisit Madden? Do you ever play as the Vikings? I know you’re a big Vikings fan.
Magary: No, because now it’s so real that—like, I used to like the sports game when you could figure out a way to score 100 points. You were like, “Oh, I just do this play.” Or, “Oh, I just run punt block, and they’ll fumble the ball everytime.” I liked it when it wasn’t particularly real. And now it’s so real, and I’m so behind now that I’ll never catch up. I’ll never be as good as I used to be. And there’s just too much other crap I have to do. I can’t get good at it. It’s one of those things where if you’re young, you have the time. You’ll have 40 free hours in a weekend to just dedicate to that. I can’t do that. I have to buy fucking groceries.

I agree with him 100%. my favorite sports games are all the arcadey stuff from the 90′s – NBA Jam, NFL Blitz, Ken Griffey Slugfest, NHL ’94…stuff like that. if you understand the basic elements of the sport you can play them reasonably well. I picked up the new Madden a few months ago and playing it is kind of a chore.

I’m already preparing to jump off a bridge. I saw how Geno Smith performed in big spots against pro-style defenses. Maybe that was the fault of Holgerson and WV’s style, but I need to see Geno prove it in the pros first. Buffalo shouldn’t trade multiple picks to get the #1 spot. No way. Too many holes to fill

Stray Dog is a good early one. Some people love Ikiru, but I find it overly sentimental.
Rashomon, Hidden Fortress, Throne of Blood, Yojimbo and Sanjuro would be a good sampler of his great middle period.
Ran and Kagamusha are highly praised, but I find them really formalistic and not very engaging.
Late period, I really enjoyed Madadayo, his last film.
