Fairly hilarious. RT @mgoblog: Will Tom Crean scream "you destroyed our program" at Cody Zeller after this one?

Classic dipshit Gottlieb.

[DeezNutz]

You guys didn't see Barkley bash the "morons on Twitter," claiming that he and others on set "weren't offended"?

Gottlieb went with a diversity joke that fell ****ing flat. Said he was there to provide "the white man's perspective." Awkward silence ensues, and Gottlieb ends up apologizing later, apparently.

**** all of the other white guys.

Harrelson, I believe. He was a scrub on some NBA benches for a while and now he's playing in Puerto Rico.

I mean, yeah...he put his foot in his mouth, no doubt. But he didn't mean any ill will by it, he was trying to be funny I guess...I have a feeling when you're on TV like that it's a lot harder not to say stupid shit than it looks...

people are so sensitive about race...

if there were three white dudes and a black guy and the black guy was like "I'm just telling your from a brother's point-of-view" no one would probably notice.

Yeah, they called him Jorts.

Wouldn't have been a problem on the TNT late night basketball show the way they throw around jokes, but not on CBS.

[Coach]

Shit.

[Hootie]

of course I'm not the guy to talk to about race since I just don't care so maybe I just don't get offended

I just realize that white people still look at black people like they are black people just like black people still look at white people like they are white people

it is what it is

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Could Indiana have less urgency here?

If he would have said "the Jewish perspective" he would have been in the clear. No bullshit.

Hard to believe that would be considered more awkward than 50% of what comes out of Barkley's mouth.

I think what made it worse is that it fell completely flat. Everyone just kind of awkwardly sat there like "Uh..." Greg Gumbel jokingly acted like he was going to walk off the desk to get away from him.

SVP and Rusillo were on a ****ing roll about 2:40 today.

Someone asked them which of the remaining mascots would win in a deathmatch, and while going through the list they stopped with Indiana and SVP said,

"A Hoosier is just a guy from Indiana right? Or a guy tweaked out on meth. Not that all Hoosier fans are tweaked out on meth..."

I almost sprained my diaphragm from laughing.
