When asked about recent incidents regarding players "interacting" with fans, Charles Barkley said "I believe with all my heart that a player should be allowed once per game to go into the stands and beat up a spectator." He may have been joking but his point was that spectators could put out a player's eye when things are thrown at them.
i'm on the third row of the vols home games and barkley was watching the vols/auburn game from the sidelines 15 yards in front of me. When he was walking over there at the beginning of the game, he was being heckled a little and I thought he looked scared. There was no way he was going to make eye contact or go into the stands wearing a bo jackson auburn jersey.
sidenote - vols fans aren't too fond of Bo Jackson either b/c he got scared and took himself out of the vols game in 85. (vols won). It took him about 15 years to earn my respect as one of the best athletes ever. Also, I like Barkley even though he is somewhat of a racist in my opinion. He tells it like it is

That would be a very bad policy IMO. Elder, children, and handicap people would get caught up in these type of things. This world is amazing and not in a great way. What about player discipline, bearing, and leadership. All that needs done is for a player to point out the problem to security and if it continues that person is removed from the game. Let's not be savages please.

How about an "invitation" from the player to the fan to step into the court and have a one on one action.That would not involve others. I can just imagine Shaq asking a 5.6", 150 lb, 20 year old into the court for a little ass kicking :toothless .
Would that increase the value of the ticket? a 2X1, basketball/boxing match...:think:
During the interview, Chuck said he liked Edwards because Edwards was for the little man. I don't believe he went so far as to say he would vot for Kerry though.TommyMullins said:
The interviewer (Bruce Cooper, Phoenix's Channel 12 sports) mentioned that Chuck is still serious about running for governor of Alabama. Will he run as a Republican?
