07:59 AM ET 01.02 | From The Smoking Gun: "...Charles Barkley told Arizona cops that he ran a stop sign because he was in a hurry to pick up a girl who had "given him (oral sex) one week earlier," which the former NBA star described as "the best one he had ever had in his life." According to a Gilbert Police Department report." No reaction to the whole shmear yet from his employers at TNT. Because of the New Year's holiday, the network doesn't have its usual Thursday night doubleheader scheduled. Nor have the good people of Alabama who may someday see his name on the ballot in the race for governor weighed in.

Good ole Chuck. Always good for a chuckle.

I think Sir Charles was trying for his own *doubleheader* this week!

Hey, if that isn't a good enough reason for speeding I don't know what is! ;-)

Road head!!!!

I might go over the speed limit for the same thing. I hope the news media doesn't "blow" this out of proportion.

Barkley, is a human being. However, his behavior warrants reflection from him on other levels. He may want to recall Magic Johnson's similar behaviors got him an HIV/AIDS viral infection. He may also reflect that Bill Clinton had a rough time during the Monica Lewinsky debacle. I ask you Mr. Barkley as a man who has everything form a man who has nothing. Is it really worth it? Or are you fooling yourself? Maybe I should be glad I am not a sought after star. This is your life Barkley find the real joy in it. If you keep this behavior up its not going to be funny anymore; its going to be tragic. 72553@live.com

The Best hes ever had???? I would speed for that!

January 2, 2009  08:55 AM ET

Was he driving his Hummer for a hummer?

January 2, 2009  08:57 AM ET

Look what he risked - his life and that of innocent people... I don't care how good the head is..it's not worth it. If you or a loved one has been hurt by a drunk driver this will not be a joke to you...

As Lebron said "Barkley is Stupid".

Barkley is dope

January 2, 2009  09:08 AM ET

LOL this is just too good to even be true. HAHA EPIC

January 2, 2009  09:14 AM ET

I might have to run a stop sign too if I was "heading" for the best "heading" i ever had.

January 2, 2009  09:15 AM ET

The best ever?!? Can we get her name?

They didnt say he was running out to sleep with 20 women. So comparing it to Magic Johnson's escapades from 20 years ago is alittle far fetched. Ever think (since he was with her last week and going back), that maybe he's actually dating the woman? And Charles wont have a debacle like the Monica thing. He's NOT married. Bill was. Big difference. So while I dont approve of the drinking and driving, you picking appart his sex life and comparing him to ever sex scandal you can because he wants a hummer is very, very far fetched. Maybe you need to quit over reaching and trying to judge the man for wanting a bj.....

You know you are really drunk when you say things like this to the police.

He also didn't commit perjury and go on live television to straight out and blatantly lie to the entire american public that he didn't do what he really did.

this is what sometimes make people not listen to charle when does actually make smart statements. he does so much stupid stuff and says so much stupid stuff that, when he actually says something smart people rag on him. Lebron talking about free agency 2 years before his contract was up is disrecptful to his team. Auburn hiring Gene instead of buffalo coach does raise eyebrows. but then charles gets stop for dui and he does this and he makes it hard for people to see him as credible. if i was charles i would start keeping a low profile. Get your image back on track because right now you keep coming off as an over-paid idiot.

So much for teaching LBJ how to act and whats appropriate to say... Barkley is a big mouth, enriched brainless m-o-r-o-n.
