TNT goes ATM
In case you missed it, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith had the following exchange tonight on the TNT postgame report:
Charles: Queen
Kenny: Fag
Charles: Queer
Kenny: Homo
...ok, it wasn't quite like that. Here's what they actually said:
Charles: I heard you were the stunt double for "Brokeback Mountain."
Kenny: I heard you were doing method acting.
Charles: It was your first role since "Deliverance."
Kenny: I didn't know your autobiography was out.
Charles: I was wondering why you've been wearing cowboy boots.
Meanwhile Ernie Johnson had the Mike Myers "what is Kanye West saying?" look on his face until he was able to get a hold of the conversation.
It was a bit ironic that they would have this exchange on MLK day- and while it was just two friends giving each other a hard time, I'm curious to see if any other media picks up on it and runs with it.

A related note from espn's LZ Granderson concerning Larry Miller's decision to pull Bareback Mounting from his theater:
"But perhaps the greater injustice is that few, including the NBA, have taken Miller to task for it. After all, if he opted to pull "Glory Road" because he found out the black team won, I'm sure Jesse Jackson and Nancy Grace would be on the first flight to Utah"
Oddly plausible, doncha think?
I think Larry Miller compromised and showed the first hour or so of Glory Road, but spliced in the last scene of "Hoosiers" for the end of the film.
