Charles Barkley is a national treasure.
No one on television has more fearless takes or better stories than Barkley. And Thursday night, he treated us to another gem.
On “The Steam Room” podcast, Sir Charles explained to co-host Ernie Johnson that he brings his own big bar of soap to hotels.
“Because these hotels started being cheap,” Barkley said. “Those bars ain’t big enough.”

OK, hold up. At 6-foot-6, Barkley certainly has more surface area to clean than the average person.

The Par 3 sixth hole at Augusta National is one of a few holes on the property that every player in the field would take par on each time they play it and run to the seventh tee. That’s proving to be especially true on Friday, just ask Phil Mickelson.
The pin location on the downhill Par 3 for the second round is absolutely diabolical. With the hole cut on top of an incredibly small ridge just eight paces off the right, players have just a few feet to work with if they want to keep the ball inside 10-12 feet.

LSU star Angel Reese said Friday she will visit the White House with her team, days after suggesting they should instead celebrate their national championship with former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama.

Carlo Ancelotti will be considered for a return to Chelsea for a second spell as manager should he leave Real Madrid, sources have told ESPN.

Mets star Justin Verlander, who is on the IL with a muscle strain, said he expects to return before the end of April, while the Mets remain cautious.

The commemorative football is prominently displayed in Josh Heupel’s office.
The inscription across its face—Tennessee 52, Alabama 49—is positioned, certainly without coincidence, to face a large sectional leather couch and a table with chairs. Hard to miss, the football is a not-so-subtle reminder to those who enter—ahem, recruits—that the Volunteers took down the Crimson Tide in one of the most epic thrillers of the 2022 college football season.
“Everybody involved in our program hears about that one,” Heupel says.

WWE wrestler Roman Reigns doesn’t break his heel character, even on the Internet.
The longest-running WWE Universal Champion took ‘kayfabe’ to the next level by hilariously quote tweeting a video of a young fan losing his mind after a recent Reigns victory.

LSU star Angel Reese will attend the team’s championship celebration at the White House with President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden, days after Reese suggested the team should celebrate with the Obama family instead.
Reese was upset by the first lady’s suggestion that both Iowa and LSU should be invited to the White House. President Biden only ended up inviting LSU, as well as men’s champion, Connecticut.
“In the beginning we were hurt,” Reese told ESPN on Friday. “It was emotional because we know how hard we worked all year for everything.

This absolutely rules.
Sports games deservedly suffer the same criticism year-to-year. Often changes are only minor, it can feel like a $60 roster update, and development teams rarely have the time needed to actually overhaul the game. Some of these charges can be leveled at MLB The Show 23, but not when it comes to the addition of its Negro League mode.
Never has a game so lovingly added a historical mode.

Two years ago, the 49ers invested three first-round picks and a third-round pick in quarterback Trey Lance. The circumstances placed intense pressure on Lance, and things simply haven’t worked out for him, so far, in the NFL.
