Did anyone catch Charles Barkley on Jim Rome’s radio show today? He said he lost $400,000 because he was watching all of the ESPN experts pick the Patriots. I find that hard to believe…that anyone would pay attention to such luminaries as Emmitt Smith & Keyshawn and his scarf when deciding who to lay cash on.

Funny, he said he lost $100K on Le Batard’s show last week. I would think you would be positively sure about losses in the six figures.
Is it just me, or could Barkley be making the whole thing up?
He’s claimed huge gambling losses for many years. If those claims were all accurate, he’d have lost something like $100M by now.

You’re probably right, although he’s spent so much money without even realizing it, he’s probably lost track. I still wouldn’t go out and embellish losing $400K on a national radio show if I were in Barkley’s shoes. I’m not a streamlink member of Rome’s show; all I could find on his site was the sketchy “quote/unquote” from today (I don’t know if it’s still there):

Barkley suffered brain damage years ago. He has strange recollections of things. Remember, this is the same guy that threw a midget through a bar window. I wouldn’t take what he says or does too seriously.
