Barkley's DUI Means He's MIA From TNT

It was only a matter of time until Charles Barkley's DUI arrest had serious repercussions for the NBA star.

Barkley will take a leave of absence from TNT for a minimum of several weeks with no return date set, a source told the AP. David Levy, president of TNT Sports, released a statement that reads in part, "When I spoke with Charles, he was apologetic for the events that transpired and it was obvious he understands the significance of the situation. This is an important time for Charles as he deals with the legal and personal issues that confront him. Charles is a valued part of the Turner Sports organization and we are concerned for his well-being."

It was revealed today Barkley had a blood alcohol level of .149 -- nearly twice the legal limit in Arizona.

Please don't tell me it's a PAID leave.

He'll be back. Just watch...

We are such a forgiving country at times and we give people too many chances sometimes.

Exactly - they eventually took back Marv Albert. Enough said.

Charles Barkley is a hypocrite. He always disses ignorant black men and NBA athletes but he does something stupid like this. When is he gonna learn?

Let's hope he learned this time. I bet he's still looking for that girl who gives 'the best bj's'. This time he better come to a complete stop.
