Best Show On TV - Ernie Johnson Was Practically Begging Charles Barkley To Stop Making Fun Of ESPN/Kendrick Perkins, Lost All Control During Halftime Show
In case you missed it last night, Charles Barkley went to war with ESPN. It's a war worth battling and he had a direct attack on Kendrick Perkins. It was an immediate 1-0 win for Barkley when Perkins responded with this:
This is all WWE turned into NBA. But, Barkley proves what I've been and mostly anyone with a brain is saying. Inside the NBA is an entertainment show, it's the best show on TV. Yeah, the Lakers are playing good and are on fire right now because Nico Harrison is a fucking joke of a GM, but we don't need Lakers talk all the goddamn time. We don't need is LeBron the best of all time or will Luka have his jersey retired by the Lakers or whatever the fuck is talked about on all those terrible morning shows. Remember when we had SportsCenter with guys like SVP and Stuart Scott and Dan Patrick and Kenny Mayne and highlights that mattered? Yeah, those days were nice.
I say all that to bring up the funniest part of this whole thing. Ernie Johnson.
I know this voice well. Why? Because Ernie Johnson was forced to become the angry dad. He tried his best to keep shit under control, threatened to turn the car around and then gave up. It was the one sharp yell any dad has ever done. A quick HEY where you get the lower voice and raise it just enough for the kids to stop in their tracks. The problem is I do it to a 2 and 5 year old, Ernie Johnson has to do it to Chuck and Shaq. It's why it's the greatest show on TV. Ernie trying to keep control, Shaq egging Barkley on and Barkley subtly keep going and going.
The moment Ernie does this, he means business

A man who knows he's forced to be in control but has no control. A man who is just trying to get through the halftime show before letting Charles Barkley say whatever he's want. A man who knows who they are forced to work for next year and is trying to just get to that part.
