SPORTS BUSINESS DAILY reports that a new deal will keep Charles Barkley entertaining TNT audiences for years to come - well, at least the next four, anyway.

The deal, which promises to put Chuck’s yearly pay in the mid seven-figure range, is expected to be finalized this week. As part of the new contract, Sir Charles will also be making appearances on NBA TV and showing up online with TNT NBA Overtime.

Looks like Chuck will be able to recoup some of his Super Bowl losses. But what if the deal falls through, and Barkley walks?

Well, TNT can always head over to sister station TBS, and bring back Frank Caliendo to fill Chuck’s big shoes (he did such a great job last time):

That wouldn’t be so turrible, would it?
