LOS ANGELES -- There's only one place to correctly start this column and that's with the scene because it was, honestly, something to be seen.

Steve Ballmer officially arrived here Monday -- showing up several weeks after his reputation did, Ballmer's reputation being that, as a public speaker, he's passionate, motivating and spirited.

Or, said another way, he's as outrageous as someone who has had one too many drinks or one too few meds.

Has anyone stopped to realize that the gay community just got a major sports franchise stripped away from their portfolio and given to a rich, white, married, hetrosexual?

When that sinks in, will the hangover suck? /s

You know if this guy is so pissed off at Ballmer owning a team, he is always free to buy his own.

But this is O’Merica where grown men hiss and piss at what more successful guys are able to do.

Did the NBA just get rid of its first gay owner?

What are you talking about? The article casts Ballmer in a positive light. As for the video, the guy who compiled it appears to be an admirer of Ballmer - as am I.

You’re probably right, but still, it would be hilarious if true.

My only question is whether Ballmer will turn the Clippers into the Windows 8 of the NBA, or will he content just with a “ribbon” interface for them.
