Charles Barkley is still not a role model. And he's not apologizing to the women of San Antonio either.

The former NBA star turned TNT jokester/analyst ruffled some feathers last week when he took potshots at the women who live there.

It wasn't the first time he did it -- it's been a recurring theme -- but last week's comments went viral. It doesn't help that he did it twice in the same week.

In both instances, he mocked women in San Antonio by saying they were overweight (side note -- you aren't so skinny either, Chuck).

"There's some big 'ol women down there. ... That's a gold mine for Weight Watchers, " Barkley said during one telecast.

He also joked that "Victoria is definitely a secret ... they can't wear no Victoria's Secret down there."

He addressed the people who objected to his comments on Sunday night, but they aren't going to like his response.

"If you don't like me or the show, turn it off," Barkley said. "If y'all waiting on me to apologize, Hell gonna freeze over."
