*NSYNC Gets Dragged Into Draymond Green-Charles Barkley Feud: TRAINA THOUGHTS

Charles Barkley uses *NSYNC reference to diss Draymond Green.

1. Charles Barkley continued his ongoing war of words with Warriors forward Draymond Green during a Tuesday appearance on The Dan Patrick Show.

Before we get to that, some background. Barkley has been mocking Green all season for putting up "triple-singles." He also said, "I think [Draymond is] a good player and a great guy. I like messing with him but he's got the perfect face for radio. He don't have a TV face! He could do the job but he doesn't have a face for TV."

Green responded last week by saying that he could take Barkley's job on TNT.

"Barkley should stop before I take his job," said Green, "because I can do that well, too. He didn't make enough money playing so he need that job—he should stop talking to me. I have a tendency to end people, so he should stop before I take his job. He also can’t talk basketball with me, either. Not smart enough, not qualified. No rings, can’t sit at this table.”

Cut to Barkley speaking to Dan Patrick today and poor Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick and JC. Chasez ended up getting hit with some shrapnel.

Bad take by Barkley. While Justin Timberlake is obviously a megastar, when you had as a great a run as *NSYNC had in the late '90s, it's a team effort. 

2. Speaking of the late '90s, this clip of TNT's Ernie Johnson trying to explain the internet ("It's open on holidays!") and NBA.com to Chris Webber is just fantastic.

3. Lest anyone think NBC was going to allow ESPN to acquire Al Michaels for Monday Night Football, think again. 

NEWS: NBC has declined ESPN trade request for Al Michaels, according to sources.

4. Jimmy Fallon asked A-Rod about buying the Mets on Monday night, and A-Rod answered in his typical awkward way, with weird laugh included.

5. XFL games are now drawing less than a million viewers—and that's before March Madness has even begun.

Forgot to tweet the ESPN XFL viewership from Sunday: it averaged 833K with a .33 adults 18-49 rating with a 9:07pm start.
