Get ready to look deep inside Charles Barkley. The former Sixers superstar has been asked to undergo a televised colonoscopy as part of the "Stand Up to Cancer" special being aired Sept. 5 by NBC, CBS and ABC. Barkley said yesterday he's flying to Alabama today to prepare for the procedure on Friday. Sir Charles says he was surprised that the show approached him, but was happy to participate in promoting awareness for colonoscopies, which screen for prostate and other cancers.

This is not a bad gesture for Charles. You can't be hating on a guy who volunteers for the good. He will get noticed but at the same time people might tune in more and be made aware about the cancer.

Man- I'm just sayin, but it's not like the NBA hasn't had the media up it's arse before... This would be differnt how?

Good move. Raise awareness--BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

Careful, your clASS is showing!

Suddenly, looking at Charles' golf swing on the Golf Channel doesn't seem so bad. It is for a good cause and besides, looking at Charles' insides can't be any worse than looking at his outsides.

Now we get to see what AnAssHole looks like, inside and out.

Just kidding. I like Charles and applaud some of his antics. Good for him, leading by example!

This is too easy . . . I just can't.

Hmmm...I wonder how well this will fare on TNT this season. Should make it more interesting.

Finally, after all these years we get to see what's been up Charles' butt!

August 21, 2008  01:03 PM ET

Okay, okay, I have to. I predict they'll find one of the following:

1) His real head ("Charles take your head out of your . . . );

2) a tongue, teeth and lips (Charles, once again you're talking out of your . . .)

3) His brain ("Charles, your brains are in your . . .), or

4) Another full sized Charles Barkley ("Charles, you're such an . . .).

Maybe next year we'll get invited to his prostate exam.

This should be better than Geraldo Rivera in Capone's vault.

Seriously though, if it helps the cause then that's great but only Sir Charles could think of this one.

August 21, 2008  01:06 PM ET

Good Cause= yes
Reality TV = uuugghhhh!!!

August 21, 2008  01:12 PM ET

wow, good move but this would be interesting mix of reality tv, inside the nba, and scrubs...

notice none of them to serious, hopefully it can be though.

August 21, 2008  01:17 PM ET

Maybe this will pit to rest the question; whatever happened to Webster?

Actually you're right I am "black"! Now you can move to the head of the clASS!
I joke on this thread as much as the next person, but when someone takes the initiative to do something good that could possibly save at least one life I hardly find anything humorous about it!
