Just what the NBA needs, another sex scandal: Donald Sterling, the miserly tycoon who owns the Los Angeles Clippers, testified last year that he regularly paid a Beverly Hills woman for sex, describing her as a $500-a-trick "freak" with whom he coupled "all over my building, in my bathroom, upstairs, in the corner, in the elevator." Sterling's graphic testimony--which came during a two-day pretrial deposition in connection with a lawsuit he filed against the woman, Alexandra Castro--will surely nettle basketball commissioner David Stern, who normally has to explain away the behavior of 20-something athletes, not married 70-year-old club owners worth nearly a billion. During a sworn January 2003 deposition, Sterling denied having a relationship with Castro, though he changed his testimony when questioned again last August. In often explicit detail, Sterling recounted three years of transactions with Castro, whom he met in mid-1999 (below you'll find excerpts from Sterling's deposition). While acknowledging that, "maybe I morally did something wrong," the Clippers owner was not shy when it came to describing hour-long sessions with Castro, whom Sterling credited with "sucking me all night long" and whose "best sex was better than words could express." Testifying that he was "quietly concealing it from the world," Sterling had a blunt appraisal of his "exciting" relationship with Castro: "It was purely sex for money, money for sex, sex for money, money for sex." Sterling, a Los Angeles real estate mogul, bought the Clippers in 1981 for $12.5 million and the franchise--one of the most profitable in the NBA--is now worth more than $200 million. Since Sterling's purchase, the team has amassed the NBA's worst combined record and gained a reputation as a stingy operation that will trade an exceptional player before paying him a superstar's salary.

For the good (funny) shit, start on page 5.

Awwww. Thank you. I still think you're a cunt.

There are several Pheadruses (Phaedrii?) in history and literature. The one in particular that motivated my nick was a character from the book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintainance.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>
The wind rises and then falls, then rises and sighs, and falls again -- from so many miles away.

"Did you ever know a ghost?" Chris asks.

I am half asleep. "Chris," I say, "I knew a fellow once who spent all his whole life doing nothing but hunting for a ghost, and it was just a waste of time."

I realize my mistake too late.

"Did he find him?"

"Yes, he found him, Chris."

I keep wishing Chris would just listen to the wind and not ask questions.

"What did he do then?"

"He thrashed him good."

"Then what?"

"Then he became a ghost himself." Somehow I had the thought this was going to put Chris to sleep, but it's not and it's just waking me up.

"What is his name?"

"No one you know."

"But what is it?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Well, what is it anyway?"

"His name, Chris, since it doesn't matter, is Phædrus. It's not a name you know."

The nick ties in with a couple of others that I haveused over the years, in such a manner that people who know me and are paying attention could probably connect things that I've posted and written online going back over twenty years (my first online experience was BBS in 1983, at a screaming 900 bps, and even as a kid I wasted an enormous amount of time making offhand comments online about politics, naked women, and such.)

Newsflash ID --

1) Pretty much everyone thinks you're a cunt. I'm sure that outside of the context of an online discussion forum you are probably a lovely person.

2) Grow a sense of humour.

3) Do I really have to run back through the search engine and provide you links to the number of asinine and rude comments you have made specifically to me, especially your groupie-like bandwagoning behind Henhouse in the RR?
