NEW YORK -- Being that I like to consider myself a public-spirited citizen, every so often I feel duty-bound to call out some of those in the same virtuous vocation as yours truly.

Let's begin by mocking and defrocking writers who make a living out of spreading misinformation about my beloved Los Angeles Clippers . . . the NBA's easiest target and most often targeted franchise.

Just because the born-again Buffalo Braves have difficulty staying out of the lottery (the 36-46 1996-97 squad was the last to get a dose of bad, 0-3, playoff experience) and don't always exercise the most sound judgment (Bo Kimble and Randy Woods immediately come to mind) the media is fond of portraying Donald Sterling as being the stingiest owner in professional sports for habitually failing to re-sign his players.
