 'The Charles Barkley Story' by Guest Historian Chris Oakley
Guest Historian Guest Historian Chris Oakley says, thank you for visiting TIAH. In this thread, I explore what might have happened if Charles Barkley had pursued a career in the NFL. If you're interested in viewing samples of my other work why not visit the Changing the Times web site.
Charles Barkley

Barkley, known by his fans as 'the Round Mound of Touchdowns', led Auburn University to an NCAA national championship during his junior year there and later played a major role in helping the New York Giants earn their second Super Bowl championship in franchise history.
