    This was during a commercial... they didn't realize it was apparently viewable somewhere. Barkley is a Weight Watchers spokesman in their new commercial push.

    Chuck is hilarious. He did actually admit to feeling better and losing weight. The scam is that he gets paid to lose weight, which is better than his current scam of getting paid to watch sports.

    He is just saying getting paid to lose weight is a scam not that weight watchers is a scam.

    This game is terrible, God almighty

    lmao @ Kevin Harlan

    To be fair to Chuck, he is endorsing the program and its success in the first 15 seconds. Good for him.....finally.

    Yeah, it seems like Chuck realized by that point he was on air but Reggie didn't. The Dwight Howard comment was just Chuck trying to make some conversation for the audience, but Reggie unwittingly turned it into another dig at Atlanta.
