Missing the Sign

On March 12, Basketball Hall of Famer Charles Barkley was asked at an SMU Athletic Forum luncheon, “If you could trade places with anyone else in the world today, in any arena, who would it be?” 

Always glib, and in the aftermath of the Governor of New York’s resignation earlier that day, Sir Charles replied, “Gosh, if you’d asked me that question a week ago, I would have said Eliot Spitzer.”

If asked the same question this week, Mr. Barkley might well answer, “If you’d asked me that question last fall, I would have said Roger Clemens.”
