    Wow. With TNT on the brink of losing NBA, Charles Barkley just ripped his bosses as clowns and fools on the @dpshow. Sir Charles even floated the idea of hiring Shaq, Kenny and Ernie to his production company, then selling rights to 'Inside the NBA' to another network.

    If you're wondering why Charles Barkley + Shaquille O'Neal are NOT on for 'Inside the NBA' pregame show, they are in NYC preparing to pitch ad buyers at TNT Sports' Upfront presentation Wednesday. Smart move: TNT's 40-year NBA relationship hanging by thread. #saveinsidethenba

    Monster TV numbers for Fox Sports's telecast of Dallas Cowboys vs. Green Bay Packers. Overtime thriller between two teams with national fan bases averaged 29.2M viewers. That makes it the most watched NFL game -- on any network -- this season.

    Leaving Caitlin Clark off Olympic team is terrible for NBC Sports, which is paying billions for U.S. TV rights. She would have absolutely super-charged Olympic TV audiences the way she did in college and now in the pros. Short-sighted doesn't begin to describe this decision.
