Reportedly, Steve Ballmer submitted the winning bid for the L.A. Clippers of $2 billion...because he can. He's the guy that ran Microsoft for 13 years, while it's stock went from $60 to $30 and stagnated there. He couldn't even manage to keep his hometown Supersonics in Seattle, having moved to Oklahoma City. Seriously, who moves to OK City by choice?

You know who should go to Oklahoma? Donald Stirling. That racist get's $2 billion more. That just doesn't seem just. I mean he bought the team for $12 million. Sure, they struggled fruitlessly for years, causing undue frustration and aggravation. Try being a Cubs fan Stirling. Try being a decent human being. The NBA should have stripped the ownership and sold off the team themselves. Hopefully, he'll get the heck taxed out of him on the sale.
I guess old Ballmer felt me breathing down his neck. I know Oprah got spooked, withdrawing her bid. Alas, I was only able to submit a bid of $1.9 billion, based on book sales to date. So don't blame me, dear reader, if the Clippers turn into the Zune of the NBA. What's a Zune? Exactly. So run out today. Buy
Trader Joe - a novel, available on Amazon, now. And maybe the Ricketts' family will be ready to unload the Cubs.
