Charles Barkley Has Coughing Tourette's

With the end of the Eastern Conference Finals, TNT's superlative Inside The NBA studio show bid the season adieu last night. As is customary in a studio show's last telecast of the year, host Ernie Johnson toasted their producer, Tim Kiely.

Yes, he also calls a guy "numbnuts," but I wasn't aware that was a big deal. In fact, you know what? Numbnuts, you're completely off the profanity board, and you can go roam free in PG and even G-rated movies, where you truly belong.

Oh, Char-Bar's second word, not so fast; you sir--err, ma'am--are most certainly very high on that profanity board. Boy, it's a good thing Char-Bar has that Coughing Tourrette's, or we'd have a problem on our hands.
