I don't know what will happen tomorrow with the players on the team. Sterling was caught on tape telling his girlfriend that he didn't want her associating with black Americans and he didn't want them coming to his games. Now, I have also seem today that he has made statements such as this in the past, and that he has had to settle court cases or pay restitution for behavior like this.

But what will the NBA Commish do? Its up in the air right now. TMZ, of course, broke the story.

And Davis Stern knew about his comments and behavior but did nothing really to intervene. I hope something comes down tomorrow morning, before the Clippers play.

This guy will be a hero and martyr to many in no time. I'm already hearing the "Magic's a hypocrite" and "free speech! violation of privacy!" clarion calls.

True dat, Carl. And there aren't enough Chik-Fil-A sandwiches to silence them, unfortunately.

So he is already being defended. Well that's par for the course. But how is Magic a hypocrite? And how does free speech go with being an owner of a team in league that is 70% black American and using blatant racial slurs of a particular group of people ok?

Jalen Rose, Stephen Smith, and Barron Davis are now confirming that his comments are reflective of who he is, has been for years - Barron of whom has directly worked for him. What's more disturbing to me is that this man who apparently is a well known racist was allowed to remain in the league for years. Of course he's the owner of one of the most lucrative teams and on that level it would be difficult to get rid of him. You're talking about all types of law suits that would be leveled against the NBA if they tried but listening to SportCenter a lot of insiders aren't surprised by his comments.

That's why i feel David Stern should be included in any and all lawsuits, seeing as he was commish and did nothing to get rid of this man.

    • All I can think of is if a lot of big names were leaving around that time she wanted him back as a stopgap, although I have never seen any real evidence that he was popular with GH viewers.
    • I loved watching Shanice hand Leslie her ass and finally shutting her up. It was so good. I also love Martin & Smitty's family.  Anita has to have some sort of plan giving Leslie the tickets to mail for Winterfest. She has to be setting her up for a fall. It's pretty obvious to me Vernon is not cheating with Sharon. I think Sharon is helping him with his terrible singing voice for Winterfest. I still believe Bill & Dani are endgame but I love Dani & Andre too. I am definitely enjoying this story. And making Hayley a black widow is a nice twist.
    • Sorry for the spam. Wasn't sure where to put this, it's from Tony Geary's husband's IG. Tony watching Genie and Maurice on Mo's show.
    • This show is really trundling along BTW. When is someone going to show up to slit Beastmaster's throat or crack the whip on metrosexual Sidwell? (BTW, openly presenting this cheery bon vivant as casually bisexual would at least be something vaguely diverting.) At least kill Brennan by year's end. I'm bored.
    • She told Vanessa to "DOUBLE her offer" on the Jarvis house.  The Jarvis family accepted the doubled price.  Assuming the house has an appraised value of $2,000,000, she's theoretically paid the Jarvis family $4,000,000 for the house.  The bank would loan Leslie 80% of the appraised value ($1,600,000), and Leslie had to pay the balance with cash at closing --- $2,200,000.  She only had ONE million.  Where the hell did she get the rest?!  And now she's got contractors working on the house all day & half the night.  Who's paying THEM?  I keep thinking all this will crash around her.  Either that or the writers have absolutely no idea the limits of a million dollars.  Sounds like a "lot of money", but it obviously ain't when we look at Leslie's spending since she got that million dollar check in August.

    • Vernon is an idiot. Why would he have Sharon in the same hotel that Leslie is staying at?
    • Yes, that out of the blue return was odd. Maybe GG found a forgotten clause in the contract he signed when he was wooed to ABC and they were forced to take him back! Like George Reinholt he talked about the contract that promised him primetime roles. But it was loaded in the networks favor. I think it was Gloria Loring that re-signed at Days on the promise of primetime opportunities, but that was all it was- she was put up for guest spots and TV movies but not necessarily guaranteed that she get the role.
    • I still am baffled by why Monty brought back stunt hire Gerald Gordon in the early '80s out of nowhere for like a year. I haven't found anyone who can come up with a thing he did in that second stint of note.
    • It's interesting to watch this having watched The Doctors. I'm not sure I'm seeing that much of a difference in the characters Gerald Gordon and Anna Stuart played on The Doctors and what they're playing here.
