CHARLES BARKLEY HIVE RISE
This is our time to shine ladies and gentlemen, March Madness is here, and that can mean only one thing: Charles Barkley on the screen 12 hours a day, saying crazy shit that we can only understand 40% of. It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Some might say that because of all the wild sports happenings, but an upset means a little less when you just learned about all these teams last week. Don’t worry, we’re breaking all the teams down and we’ll help you make a bunch of bets and get attached to random teams that you won’t remember by Easter, but also wanted to tend to your other needs, those being the need for an alcohol infused activity while you’re partaking in the madness. We’re back in the drinking game biz, so get ready to get buzzed:
