BARKLEY: "Live blog? What's that?"

Rick Chandler at Deadspin will be live blogging Charles Barkley's play at the Tahoe celebrity event for NBCSports.com He checked in with Barkley at the range and the round mound of rebound did not know what a live blog was! Then again, I don't know if anyone has ever lugged a laptop around a golf course tracking someone's round. Blackberry maybe, but a laptop?

Deadspin featured this shot of Barkley on the range, accompanied by three friends named Corona. And msnbc.com is sharing this cruel video of his swing for all to study that mind-boggling pre-impact hesitation move.

CARRY a laptop? How about using a motorized cart? I can't imagine that the crowds would be very thick. He could get a special pass to stay inside the ropes and voila'...live blog of Sir Shiny Chunks.

Is it possible that the Barkley golf swing is a complete put-on?
He is clearly the most famous "worst golfer in history."
That has to be worth something.
I don't know... Even if it was faked, you'd have to be better than Peter Jacobsen to be able to repeat it again and again.

if only haultain were alive today to see that !

i saw where sir charles is minus 25 in the tournament ? dead last ?

to every hacker, like myself, it is a thing of beauty to behold - to see in a very public way the absolute insanity of golf.

I am surprised that Charles is not a sponsor for Nutrasystem yet . . . or Eddie Merrin's "Swing the Handle" golf instruction series!

I prefer this video of Barkley's swing to the MSNBC one:

youtube has a collection of barkley swing videos. I don't think it's a put on, Chuck,
