IN OKC!
IN OKC!
yeah, buddy! Looks like he's getting his jog in down in Bricktown!
Mayor Mick provides his welcome:
CB in OKC with Jenni Carlson.

They were shooting video at the Devon boathouse of him learning rowing & kayaking. (Edit: the auto linking to articles is an interesting feature)
I'm happy that he's enjoying Oklahoma City, he said what all 1st time vistors say about OKC - "Its not what you think"
could they not come up with a better tour guide than jenni carlson? smh
I watched the Tour Clips during the broadcast of the game.
I thought Charles B's comments were thoughtful and positive.
I doubt the experience would have been improved by having Mayor Mick lead him around town.
Carlson is the most awkward person ever. I'm sure she was embarrassing. I would have preferred Trammel's folksiness or Darnell Mayberry if someone from the Oklahoman was needed.
You can go out on newsok and watch it, she was okay, not embarrassing at all. I noticed that Charles donated the boots that Rumble gave him to the museum. Was in todays sports. Told them he wanted to do something, so they could auction or display or whatever with them. They now put them on display in the museum.
Bellaboo, I agree Ms Carlson alright. As for why she was the one to do the interview it was because it was her story, she was the one that called Barkley out on his past promise of a visit..
As Charles said in one of the interviews "it doesn't matter what you say half the people like it and half don't like it." Which will be the case with my post as well.
I know we're Oklahoma and everything... but cowboy boots... lets just stereotype the hell out of ourselves.
I totally disagree with you and you won't be pleased about this. LOL
And an interesting comment in the Gazette.He said he'd dined at Mahogany the night before and had a terrific time, swapping stories with a group that included Barry Switzer, Keith Jackson — who apparently gave Chuck an Indian headdress — and Billy Sims.

CFN supposes it helps to say crappy things about the state beforehand.
The irony wasn’t lost on Kenny Smith, Barkley’s fellow Inside the NBA analyst. Noting how Barkley was being lavished with gifts from Fallin and even the Thunder’s mascot Rumble, Smith groused, “Hey, we hate Oklahoma City, too!”
How about one of those "OKlahoma is OK" license plates...
A fine pair of boots is s a thoughtful gesture. Kudos to Barkley for deciding to donate them rather than just closet them.
LAME! I would be pissed if someone gave me that lol
You would be surprised how many people outside this part of the country consider cowboy boots high fashion. When I was buying a pair for me at Little Joe's last December, there were people in there from New York and Ohio.
All in stride. lol i'm joking of course. But I just feel the boots where old fashion, that's what's great about my opinion.
