As the Bears try to stop Tim Tebow from his sixth straight victory on Sunday amid a fever pitch of attention on the polarizing Denver Broncos quarterback, Charles Barkley made a plea to Chicago: Stop the madness.
"I want to make a personal plea to Lance Briggs, Brian Urlacher, Mr. [Julius] Peppers, please stop the madness," Barkley said Friday on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000. "I'm just so tired ... I like Tim Tebow. He seems like a good kid, and I wish him success, but I am Tebowed out. So this is my personal plea for you three guys, please stop this madness."
"It's clearly a media-driven story," Barkley said. "They just want you to argue about Tim Tebow. Dude, let the kid play. If he can play, good. If he can't play it will show. But to have this argument every single day after five or six games is just ridiculous.
"Tim Tebow is a good player. I wish him luck, but if I don't ever hear the words Brett Favre or Tim Tebow again it won't be enough."

In fact, when Denver starts losing a few games the media scrutiny will increase, not go away.
Charles can say whatever he wants. It doesn't mean it's accurate or correct. It's trash talk from a guy who is too old and fat to still trash talk elsewhere.
Charles, ES!
“I wish him well, but, Peppers, take that honkey’s butt out!”
End Translation.
Sure. And if it was a Black Muslim Athlete, Sir Charles would be asking to stop his madness too. Sure.
The only thing more despised in America today than a White Christian Male is a handsome White Christian Male.
Just calling it like I see it. Just calling it like I see it.
Go Bears!
Yeah, I can’t wait for Tebow to lose a game or two, also. Then the smug dicks in the media (and FR) can say, veiled, repeatedly, “Where is your God now?”
Funny , I used to feel the same way about Charles Barkley.

Many folks have what can best be described as an allergy to the mere mention of God or religion.
Isn’t Barkley that chubby guy who never won a championship back in the ‘80s or something?
Have another donut, Chuck. Sheesh...
Can’t read this headline without thinking of Charles Barkleys swing and his use of his elbow in it, Tebow is too close to elbow for me, lol.
Inside Barkley’s brain is his racist voice saying, “I hate white people, especially when they succeed in sports. Sports is for black folk!”
Hey Barkly... Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow, Tebow...
Barkley comments on football.
And I’m supposed to give a ... damn?
Madness? You mean winning?
I’m not sticking up for Barkley regarding his comments on Tebow, but if he’s racist he made a big exception when he married his white wife. I’m not saying either that he’s been a perfect husband, but he’s still married to the same women since 1989. That’s a lot better than most celebrity blowhards. His friendships with white NBA players has been long running and apparently sincere. So if runs his pie hole on Tebow, it’s probably not due to race. It’s just Chuck talking to hear himself spouting off and to make a buck at it.
Peppers owes me $76 for the Panters jersey I bought 5 years ago
