    Apparently it is against the law in California and the girlfriend may face legal issues because of it. But what is the NBA supposed to do? "Sorry, players/fans/fellow owners. We know Donald Sterling is a racist POS and have proof of that but because the proof obtained by TMZ was recorded illegally we have to pretend that Sterling really loves black people."

    100% That was my guess too. This could really drag on a long time. The legal expert on ESPN.com said he has 0% chance of winning a lawsuit.

    Or Thursday. Or they could do an afternoon hockey game, followed by a night basketball game, right? Why in God's name would the NHL play an afternoon game on a weekday? I believe he is talking about Saturday, which is where the conflict with the Bulls would take place. Well that makes a lot more sense. Just ignore my previous post.

    Did JVG's plan also include eliminating the salary cap?

    Exactly. The tickets for these games have been purchased and the team deserves fan support. Now what the fans need to do is not spend a penny at the game. No alcohol, food, souvenirs, etc. Sterling likely has more money than any 81 year old can spend. He bought a team for 10mln that he could sell for 700mln. So trying to "hit him where it hurts" Vis a Vis money is pathetically ineffectual. When a business starts losing tens of millions he will notice. I'm not talking about one game. Sure he would make money on the sale of the team but then he's out of the league, which is the whole point behind this idea. They are already losing advertisers/sponsors left & right. I think I like Jeff VanGundy's idea that Silver needs to allow all Clipper players to void their contracts and become free agents if they so desire. Not sure if that's legally possible but that would cripple Sterling's franchise, making it worth a lot less when he eventually sells. Who's going to go there as a free agent now?

    He's only suggesting it because he will be the visiting team and would love for the Clippers home court advantage to be neutralized as much as possible. Sports owners are like promoters. If Mark Jackson feels so strongly he Shouldn't go himself. But he's not putting any money in Sterling's racist wallet by coaching.

    If Clowney didn't have some serious question marks about his work ethic then I think he would be a slam dunk #1 pick. But those concerns are huge and the Texans need a QB more than they need a DE. For a team with the #1 pick they have a lot of talent on their roster already. A great QB, no matter what his name is, would mean more to that franchise right now than a great DE.

    Random flashback question. Why was Les Lancaster awarded a win in this game? Shouldn't it have gone to Paul Assenmacher? http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN198910050.shtml

    Shattenkirk I think. Kane made a good point, that Smith and Saad drove to the opposite post and gave him the room he needed. Smart play. I have to think the previous goal was on Miller's mind too when the great pass was made by Oduya to Kane on the opposite side of Miller IIRC. Kaner took advantage of that and bought himself the room he needed to stick the puck in the net on the stick side.

    It falls on Strop, IMO. He started the downfall by not being able to throw strikes.

    Sweet. NHL Network is showing it.

    Damn Penguins goalie letting up the tying goal with 22 seconds left. Not sure if I'm going to be able to watch the Hawks until that game ends.

    I've seen this exact shirt in blue with Zambrano replacing Pujols. You high & mighty folks should take the time to look around and see that every team has their idiot fans. And the people making these shirts aren't fans of any one team. They just make up stupid shirts like these to sell to the moron fans of each team.
