1. Most broadcasters would be in trouble for this, but for Charles Barkley it was just another night at the office. During the NBA on TNT Thursday, Barkley mocked sideline reporter Rosalyn Gold-Onwude for wearing an outfit that he claims was from TJ Maxx. The best part of the clip was Barkley's colleague, Ernie Johnson and Kenny Smith doing everything they can to ignore Barkley and change the subject.

Gold-Onwude did not let Barkley get away with accusation and fired right back.

The "Big and Bigger" line was solid, but Gold-Onwude really scored the TKO with the free donut line. Well done.
