    The renewal was not a surprise. Barkley recently told Playboy that he would be "a damn fool" to walk away from his co-hosting gig on "Inside the NBA," a job that keeps him busy for one day each week.

    Financial terms weren't announced. But Barkley will appear on TNT's Thursday night games, as well as on NBA TV and NBA.com's NBA OverTime.
