Don and Rochelle Sterling? Yep, they are a LA power couple that really makes a statement. Yesterday, somehow…a new audio tape of the voice of Don Sterling was released denouncing racism by him and anyone he knows. Those that think this wasn’t a planned activity project by Don’s group of high priced retainer driven legal team might be smoking the wrong weed for too long. The theater aspects of the Sterling flop is truly amazing. Shelly or reborn wifey, Rochelle Sterling has charged up her credit cards and has gone crazy on Rodeo Drive with the purchase of many new outfits suitable for the wave of paparazzi chasing after her, day and night.
Rochelle says whatever Donnie Boy did has nothing to do with HER ownership of the LA Clippers. Rochelle says that the LA Clippers are her life legacy and the ownership belongs to HER family. We have yet to determine if Rochelle has been able to determine how much sex Don had with Steviano, for how long and whether Shelly has gotten any of the Bentley’s or the Ferrari back – along with the $2 million dollar Condo?
It was refreshing to hear Doc Rivers say that: “not speaking for me, but there are a lot of people who would have a problem with Shelly keeping the team!” Everyone else in the sports world seems “speechless”! Donnie boy stated on his new audio tape that everything he said was simply because he wanted to have sex with the girl with the Face Shield! Donnie claims that he might say anything to get into her pants! Sounds like Donnie needs another Single Malt Scotch to firm him up a bit along with a double dose of Viagra or Cialis. Calling these comments “misogynistic and totally offensive” would be a major understatement. Donnie keeps talking himself deeper into the pit of self deprecating stupidity. Whatever he is paying his legal team, he evidently is not taking their advice or else he is taking their advice and they are ripping him off totally. The Grand Euphemism Message: ” Just collegial Boy Talk…..I’m a stud…..I know how to screw over stupid women and my wife knows all about it. I can still have sex at 81. I have enough money to buy anyone off!”
The remarks of baseball owner Marge Schott now seem juvenile in comparison to those of this “Sexist, Racist, Bigoted Idiot” who has owned the LA Clippers for the last 30 years. Having anyone in the Sterling circle continue to own any part of this team should be an national outrage of a sizeable magnitude. Evidently, Donnie needed to actually see a march on Staples to get the message – since that didn’t happen; what he did is entirely too wrong for words. Sorry Don, your phony leaky remarks will not float. The only thing that Don and Rochelle now seem to be floating;…….is a big brown uggie! Time to drain the pool and sanitize everything with some good strong muriatic acid and bleach! Don’t forget to clean out the drainage trap too of the leaky boat of Don Sterling! We want Oprah to buy the Clippers thank you very much!
* Sterling? Or sterling silver? All that glitters is not gold…Donnie Boy should start a career singing Danny Boy. We love that song! Bartender!
*Did we say we love…anon! And Tab Hunter and Cap Weinberger….away all missiles! Wow!
Come on, guys — this was a good one!
*…..!
*Did we mention…what’s that they say about imitation? Flattery…battery. No limitations…on our imitations!
The three of them deserve each other. From what I heard so far from attorneys… Sterling cannot be forced to sell the team. Maybe a boycott is in order. I don’t follow sports so I don’t know how the Clippers are doing in the playoffs, so I don’t know if the players can boycott… legally anyway.
This just goes to show that we can have laws against discrimination but it doesn’t change the way people think. It sounds like Sterling is an asshole. Plain and simple. A rich asshole and for Shelly and V… can you say? “Its all about the money!” Women and men for that matter will put up with an incredible amount of bullshit, if the money’s right.
*Inge, right on track as usual…cutting through the fog of sex, lies and videotape!
The NBA has just sent the Clippers a new CEO…to guide and direct activities and we can’t wait to see the TMZ video of Shelly meeting with Richard Parsons…who was the guy that fought with the NFL Network when he was at Time-Warner…..this should be really great theater and most grist for the news mill…..along with the Michael Sam selection by the Rams. Sports! It’s getting to be more like life than LIFE!
*The Sterling Wire is back up and running. Attacking Magic Johnson, determining that he is “just misunderstood”. Lawsuits will be coming fast and furious. Shelly and Don don’t quite understand that they are not Lindsay Lohan or Britnany Spears. They are neither young or attractive. They need to fold their tent or set up one on Rodeo Drive! They are doing irreputable harm to the NBA and the NBA should be able to counter sue the Sterlings for everything they own. We can only hope!
*Shelly is really offensive – as greedy as they get. Meanwhile, Donnie Boy will need another dye job soon if he keeps doing interviews.
*Watched the Magic Johnson interview on Anderson Cooper CNN and saw the Sterling Interview last night. Face it, this is so much more entertaining that watching the those torpedo drone cameras at 14,000 feet in the Indian Ocean, looking for MH370.
*Can’t wait for a tally from the NBA – Board of Governors. Dr. Diamond
what think you about Sterling fighting that vote? Does he have a legal
leg to stand on? Or Shelly?
I can’t answer that question in the abstract, Ron. I’d need to read (and probably spend some time analyzing) the agreement among NBA owners and other documents. However, I’d be surprised if there’s not some sort of “in the event of bad behavior the commissioner can intervene for the good of the game” style clause. He’s clearly done damage to the value of other franchises if he stays, which makes me think that even if the NBA couldn’t remove him outright, they could make it impossible for him to stay. They have lots of tools at their disposal.
I might theoretically be willing to defend Mr. Sterling for the special rate of $10,000/hour, though. And I’ll keep a straight face, too. (Or mostly straight.)
