Dexter you don't personally know me! For the record, I assure you that I am no less of a man than one that would on a public board result to implying a man of Alpha is Punk for any action. Most mature adult men don't run around calling names like some school boy or GIRL.

We have had personal contact regarding negative representation of our Brotherhood. Again, don't start no shit!

First of all I don't need YOU telling me what the meaning of fraternal brotherhood means! Secondly, if I wanted to attack your character I would use words far worse than Punk! You seem to have misunderstood my reference to the word PUNK. In my reply I defined it clearly for you. I said that "if you are scared then say you are scared." OA understood and mentioned the same thing. Are you questioning him? It wasn't challenging your "manhood" it was used to tell you to step up to the plate and swing at the ball without worrying about the outcome, because God has planned this for you. Words of ENCOURAGEMENT. If you didn't understand that, then ask me what I meant. DO NOT ASSUME!!! And trust me I will start whatever SHIT that I choose too. AND WHAT!!

Again, we have a misunderstanding. If in fact your words of encouragement are sincere, Thank You!

. . . Let me also add that my stress level is elevated and I may be hard pressed to be sensitive and understanding to everything. I now know that I may very well be overreacting. If so, please accept my apology to all!!!!

Well, you know how Charles has been bragging on TNT about how he is getting back down to his playing weight and how "in shape" he is again. We know how. ESPN was talking about how he hasn't been eating regularly as of late, which is contrary to what he has been saying on TV about how he hired a private chef and eats a balanced training diet .

I am an old skool Chucky B fan, and it hurts to see him go out like this. Just think today he looks like Big Luther, and tomorrow Whitney Houston.

I happened to check Chas. Barkley on Inside the NBA last night (after a Laker win w/o a lot of contributions from the diesel daddy), and he's still going through the weigh-in schtick. The next installment is scheduled for the end of January.

He needs to stay on television because he's a marvelously entertaining commentator.

I agree he is extremely funny. Because he has no TACT! He will say whatever comes to his mind.

Chas. Barkley, besides being a funny TV commentator, is apparently also a crack sports gambler.

This is from the Orange County Register's sports section:

Barkley's big bets: According to the "Sports Betting" column in Sunday's Daily Racing Form, former NBA star Charles Barkley won $700,000 on the Super Bowl in Las Vegas without putting any of his money down.

Barkley wagered $500,000 on the Patriots, plus 14 points, and another $50,000 on the Patriots, straight-up, at 4-1 odds, in the Mandalay Bay sports book.

The wagers were legal, but they were made on Barkley's $500,000 credit line without being required to sign "markers" (a promise to pay his debt in case he lost). Nick Bogdanovich, Mandalay's sports book director, apparently approved the wagers and issued the betting slips to Barkley without the permission of his superiors at the hotel.

When it was discovered that Barkley had exceeded his betting line and had not signed for the bets, a Mandalay Bay casino host tracked down Barkley at the MGM Grand and asked him to cancel the wagers shortly before kickoff. He reportedly refused.

And when the Patriots pulled the stunning upset, Sir Charles collected about $700,000 in winnings.

The next day, Bogdanovich resigned from his job at Mandalay Bay.
