    You know, I gotta hand it to Denny. The real Sterling thread was wavering, so they moved it to the OT board to prolong its life, since it will stay on the front page longer on a board with less frequent posts.

    But the coup de grace was when he ordered one of his peons to start this NEW Sterling thread about how tired we are of the OLD Sterling thread.

    It's like reincarnation! A second life! Genius!

    You gotta go round the block to catch up with Denny. Sitting there watching the screen, he makes money the old-fashioned way. He EARNS it.

    Well, I have to hear about Miley Cyrus or the Kardashians and I somehow make it through. I think we will as well.

    I agree. Sterling has always been a racist. He has said worse things. Everyone knew this and chose to work for him and support his team. Now that a private conversation is leaked to the public, everyone is freaking out. He didn't announce his views publically. He just got "caught," sort of. "The Starters" led with our game today out of the 11 they could've chosen since their last show Friday afternoon. They saved the Sterling "scandal" for later in the show. So it's not everyone, Nate.,

    It's just really annoying. This is one of the best playoffs ever and we're talking about this bullshit.

    It's alright. Everyone, including Silver is acknowledging that it's best playoffs ever. Games haven't been canceled. We're good. And remember, we hate the Clippers and this may distract them into another first round failure. It's all good.

    Is obama a rich white male? Sorry but the old boy network doesnt know race. They discriminate against everyone not in the network.

    As for basketball wes is a dog. And harden is a tasty little kitten.

    Obama is government not old school business. Old school business networking, at it's highest level, is dominated by white upper class males with old school thoughts.

    But your perspective on this is why I think Sterling news is worth talking about. Many think old boy network doesn't know race, but sorry it does. Case in point Donald Sterling.

    Wow. That would be feasible and incredible!

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to PtldPlatypus again.

    I think Wes has been doing a good job here too. Harden has been very inefficient this series. I am happy to give Harden a lot the step back with his foot nearly on the line.

    Like it or not old boy network dictates who his in office. I do see your point though, obama, though rather rich, is just a well payed puppet. I guess my point was he doesnt just hate black people, he'd be disgusted by my poor white ass too if I boinked his girl friend.

    LOL. Talking about Donald Sterling and the "old boy" network is ridiculous. Donald Sterling has never been part of that network, even though he has money. Real estate development is a hardscrabble business, and he's a prime example of it.

    My guess is since he's a slumlord, he's accustomed to poor people fucking up his apartments. Many of those tenants were probably black, which has probably shaped his views. Bigotry isn't necessarily something with which you're born; it can be acquired.

    In this case, I use Occam's Razor. The evidence I've heard about the guy over the past 30 years, personally, professionally and managerially points to him being a person of low moral character. I'm going with that.

    And in the end I think Sterling either goes into rehab or starts treatment for an previously unknown condition that affects memory or behavior (i.e. dementia, bipolar disorder, etc.). His family will take over conservatorship (or whatever you call it) and everything will go back to normal with the Clippers after they pay a huge fine. This is nothing new for Sterling or his organization.
