Is there any proof of this? He writes favourable articles for teams because they in turn give him news to break but there's never been any suggestion of monetary favours being involved.

"AEG learned today that Ballmer has likely invested millions to pay off the media this summer to present favorable coverage about the Clippers to increase their chances of getting free agents, and consequently, this has resulted in a lot of anti-Lakers coverage, as I'm sure you've noticed."

Here we go. It was just a matter of time.

Again, he’s proof that money can’t buy class. He’s cheated his way to where he is, why stop now? The league, Jerry West, players will soon be tired of him.

Take the Slippers with you to Seattle. Do your bush-league finagling up there instead.

Good news for us. If we wanted to do a Gasol for CP3 trade at the cost of the Clips losing out somehow, Silver wouldn’t mind letting us do it.

Ballmer is an idiot bully. Armed with billions, but still, an idiot bully. Nothing more.

While Mr. Rambis sounds credible, I don't see a link between "present favourable coverage about the Clippers" and "Woj takes bribes"

I doubt players listen to media as much as fans do or think either, KD aside

I think he is simply linking the two together since woj is the most obvious transgressor of favorible clipper and anti lakers coverage.

I guess it's win at all costs for Ballmer, unfortunately for him, if he wants the Clippers to take over LA to become the pride of the city, he's going to have to move the Clippers somewhere else or win multiple championships in LA before he can claim that spot.

Since that quote came from a another guy on another message board and it's anonymous who this supposed insider is I'd take that with a huge grain of salt... it's out there and if it were true somebody in the media would be charging full steam ahead to expose these folks. it's a highly competitive industry and there's no love lost between some of the folks. can't believe this is out there and not one media member has picked up on it and brought it to light

Plus it's a big long post and includes Frank Vogel with tampering by speaking to Kyrie

Yeah, I wouldn't call any of this definitive proof...
But I think it falls under, "If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, it's a duck..." Or maybe it's "You're **** the wrong duck." Or was it "Stop **** my duck!"
IDK
In any case, this is one of those stories that are so believable, they must be true in some form or another.

Woj simply writes what his masters want to read. Doesn't bother me at all, he can't write the Clippers to contender status.

LOL @ WOJ ... I've stopped reading anything that WOJ writes a while ago due to his mistakes in his articles he keeps making and it's always simple ones

Maybe Ballmer is paying her, too.

No doubt in my mind that there has been a dirty collusion type thing going on...has been since 2011. It would be very easy for the Clippers to bribe media outlets. This question has been already answered...how many negative articles have we seen about the Clipers the last few years ? While ESPN has went on a witch hunt on us...

If true, it would explain a lot.

I dont think Moomona is on the payroll. She's spreading anti Lakers propaganda because she got her precious wittle feelings hurt.
