I said it before, and now I will say it again. Adam Lambert was robbed last night. Also, Rod Stewart's singing was turrible. Absolutely turrible.

The problem with the NBA today is that the young guys don't want to be coached. Also, there are just too many bad teams. I mean, really bad. Almost nobody saw the best basketball that was ever played, which was in 1992 when the Dream Team was practicing for Barcelona and on the warmup tour. The late night bacharach games in Monte Carlo cost me a fortune!!!

Most people think that hitting a golf ball is easy. It most definitely IS NOT EASY. Also, golf without a doubt has the worst dressers of any sport. With the exception POSSIBLY of Tiger, there are some of the worst clothes in golf that I have ever seen. Even Michael and yours truly are guilty on this one. Until next time...

I think it is high time that one of the big sports leagues like the NBA moves a team to Las Vegas. The idea that this will somehow corrupt the games is absolutely ridiculous. By the way, I think that Las Vegas should name a casino game after yours truly. Think about it. There are games named after Jack Black and Bert Bacharach. I bet that I have lost more money in Las Vegas than both of those guys put together! Maybe just change the name of craps to Barkley or something like that. Who wants to play a game anyway that sounds like it takes place in a bathroom!

In terms of my playing career, I regret only one thing—the spitting incident. But you know what? It taught me a valuable lesson. It taught me that I was getting way too intense during the game. It let me know I wanted to win way too bad. I had to calm down. I wanted to win at all costs. Instead of playing the game the right way and respecting the game, I only thought about winning.

I remember sitting down with the Rockets and saying, "Yeah. I'm going to retire." They said, "Well, we'll give you $9 million." And I said, "You got a pen on you?"

Kids are great. That's one of the best things about our business, all the kids you get to meet. It's a shame they have to grow up to be regular people and come to the games and call you names.

Well, when I went off to college, the guys I used to hang with were pumping gas and voting Democrat. Today they're still pumping gas and voting Democrat. Guess the Democrats didn't do much for them.

The way that the American Idol people are treating Paula Abdul is absolutely ridiculous. There is just no way that somebody who has been with a show from the very beginning and helped make what it is today should be treated in this way. Also, she is a really grate dancer and all around good person. People who watch at home dont know how much good this woman really does. Shame on you American Idol people!

Sorry to get all excited, but the way these dingalings in TV treat sometimes is just terrible.
