Everyone is focused on the on air talent. They are only 50% of the reason why the show is great. The crew behind the scenes are just as valuable. If nbc, espn, or amazon were able to get all four, the show wouldn’t be the same without the turner production team.
It might be better without the turner production also I’m not saying tnt has bad production but if they gave these 4 guys the platform like pat macaffe has on ESPN it would be way better. Being allowed to swear and have basically no guidelines to follow.
@@stingrey1571 I agree but they can have it in the contract that ESPN doesn’t have any say on what goes on during the show just like pat and the boys did. It’s not espn’s show it’s just on ESPN they partnered. Those 4 could easily do the same but also Ernie is staying at turner no matter what
If the show goes to Barkley’s production company, he could hire the current Turner production crew along with the four guys. I imagine they’d have to change the title and the studio, but otherwise, the show can continue with the same great production. If I had to bet, I think Amazon will be the most willing to buy that show, but I’d be pleasantly surprised if NBC or even ESPN buys it.
Ernie already said he was staying with TNT because he also does baseball. Dude is a loyal kat so if anything he would probably retire no matter how much money they throw at him to go elsewhere. He is 70 and really is not lookin for a huge payday. His family is down there and i would guess a move is out of the question. One of the true stand up kats in the business and there aren't many. That crew behind the scenes is a straight up family. Really sad to break it up but at least they have one more year. If Chuck keeps bashing the bosses his year might be shortened lool.
@@acornsucks2111 everytime they ran the show when Ernie was on leave, it went off the rails really fast. Think of Ernie as an expensive but highly qualified babysitter of immature, middle aged, multi millionaires. 😂
Those four guys don't need anybody else to be the best thing out there in terms of the NBA. Danny hit the nail on the head, someone at any network will think they can make it better. Why else would they be wedging Draymond Green in there right now? Nobody wants him in there but those guys are professionals.

Barkley IMO is waaaay overexposed. Old takes, and his folksy, "I'm going to be honest with choo," language is just how Southerner's often speak when they are definitely going to go extra heavy on the BS. See how he played TNT vs LIV as a test of this straight talk. He's a talent, but let some other voices have the mic. IMO straight talkers don't accept $ from internet gambling while advising people how to hold onto their money, nor do they encourage supersizing their meals at Subway while they take Mournjaro
Kenny brings a different angle being the only guard and only role player. Shaq is comic relief. Ernie Johnson is the best referee associated with the NBA.
@@Oldasianguy No kidding....if Ernie wasn't "interjecting" 3/4 of the show would be guys talking over each other with Shaq screaming about how many rings he has.
It may be better for NBA on TNT crew to call it quits while they're in their prime. You want to end something before it's too late. Grace is in knowing when to leave, kinda like when George Washington decided not to run for a third presidential term.
#CharlesBarkley!!! Why should anyone pay double the expiring Bid, FOR LESS GAMES, for a Product whose Ratings continue to decline??? Just because the fool's name is Adam??? Eh???
@@ok2313 Yeah but that plateaued a long time ago. It's been stagnant for a long time now, really across all of the sports landscape -- that's one of the reasons you're seeing this big push with women's pro leagues. They're desperate for growth anywhere. There really aren't frontiers left to colonize and draw new revenue from. But Silver made a bet and got lucky that NBC and the other broadcast networks are looking to get out of the scripted content game and are willing to do a massive overpay for the NBA right now.
I ❤ Charles Barkley's personality, and he's undoubtedly entertaining... With that said, he's the most overrated Sports TV Analyst of all time. His 'takes' are half-baked and more times than not, off base and inaccurate. If Chuck was being paid based off his analytical basketball takes, he would be broke!

Yeah Tony Reali is really good!
Idk why he doesn’t get more hosting opportunities? He’d be the best replacement for Ernie.
Amazon needs to just back the brinks truck up and just keep the show going

Try getting a life of your own.
Ernie is 67. Your point is still valid though.
@@Larry-dq4ig hmm why did I think he was 70? Unless maybe I heard Chuck say he was almost 70. Thanks for the correction.
@@acornsucks2111 why this reply?
@@gtizzle7606he seems to be all over this channel making weird comments and telling ppl to get a life. Lol. Seems like some projection there.
The TNT crew should start their own podcast with a replica of their studio set...it's the new wave
BNT, get rid of Ernie.
@@acornsucks2111no, Ernie is the best part of the show.
“Shaq-tin’ a fool” would be great as a podcast! 😅

Yes he is because he says the way it is he don't kiss as
I wish I had a counter for every time DP throws in a reference to his " On Sports Center" days...

-references to his time on sportscenter

Tony is sooooo underrated
Who watches Around the Horn? I am amazed its still on
Us old guys watch it.
Occasionally. Still watch pti if Tony is on, which isn't a lot.
I still watch Pardon the Interruption
Yep still watch both ATH and PTI. Miss Jackie Mac and Sara.
Not Tony Reali.
When I think of hosting Jeopardy, the first person I think of is Tony Reali...lol. Also Adam Lefkoe is a major major downgrade from Ernie.
Take Draymond off the panel

He's good at basketball. That political show he tried to start was horrible
PTI has to be the worst show on…!!!
Barkley is the integral part, everyone else is easily replaceable.
please
Chuck is a draw. Ernie is THE draw. No one can steer that ship and plenty of people have tried. He IS inside..
Kenny brings a different angle being the only guard and only role player. Shaq is comic relief. Ernie Johnson is the best referee associated with the NBA.
They already started to "make it better" with dramond and he's horrible.
Love Ernie, but I'm there for the NBA fellas. Honestly, sometimes, Ernie interjects too much. But I do love him
You're the epitome of someone that doesn't watch sports anymore.
Get a room with Ernie.
@@acornsucks2111 1. grow up. 2. Get off the internet. 3. You're grounded.

As opposed to all of the other analysts on TV who are correct 90% of the time, right?
BESPN. BNT.
Chuck reminds me of a drunk uncle that's funny as shix but not very smart.
Perfect!
Charles Barkley ; most overrated TV personality in Sports sho has run its course
Galveston. Has to be from Galveston. And illiterate on top of that.
