In the latest edition of Throwbacks, Matt Leinart and Jerry Ferrara are joined by the oneandonly Hall of Famer Charles Barkley! Sir Charles gives his official verdict on the KarlAnthony Towns trade and explains why the Celtics may be even more motivated to win this season than they were last season. Barkley also reveals the fascinating backstory to his legendary “I am not a role model” ad campaign, breaks down why LeBron’s career is the greatest story in sports and tells us which athlete is still way more popular than him on Auburn’s campus.

Plus, Matt’s got a big problem with Jerry – a diehard Yankees fan – supporting the Mets in their series vs the Phillies; Jerry takes us through his rationale. The guys also dive into the Jets decision to move on from Robert Saleh and Jerry tells us which awardwinning actor was supposed to appear on Entourage but was ultimately fired.

Finally, in this week’s “Throwback 3,” Matt and Jerry reveal their top 3 most iconic sports venues. Which ones made the cut and which ones missed out? We’d love to hear your thoughts as well!
