Yep. No surprise, if true.


If Silver sweeps this under the rug, the chant from opposing fans at every single Clippers game is a simple one...

A tree is a symbol of change and renewal. Unfortunately, in this case, it has also become a symbol of corruption.

This just keeps getting more and more cute. Steve Ballmer might just be the dumbest rich guy on the planet.

And, if you're going to throw a scandal party, why not invite Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert Downey Jr. too? Which only begs the question - Where was Diddy when all this was going down? :D
