New Clippers Owner Goes Wild at Fan Festival
ROMANS: Twenty-three minutes past the hour. Johnny Manziel showed the Washington Redskins that he is number one last night, but it was not with his play on the field. Andy Scholes has more in the morning's "Bleacher Report". Hey, Andy.</s>ANDY SCHOLES, BLEACHER REPORT: Hey, good morning, Christine. Johnny Football may not have a very good performance in his first nationally televised game. And at one point, he let his emotions get the better of him as he flipped the bird at the Redskins bench. It happened in the third quarter the Redskins defense forced Manziel into an incomplete pass. As he ran back on the field and gave the Washington the old one-finger salute. Manziel did throw his first touchdown later in the game. But, all everyone wanted to talk about afterwards was his not very nice gesture.</s>JOHNNY MANZIEL, CLEVELAND QUARTERBACK: You know, I get words exchanged with me throughout the entirety of the game, every game, week after week. And I should have been smarter. It was a Monday night football game and the cameras were probably solidly on me. My name has grown bigger and people had known who I am. It just continues to go as the games go on. I thought I did a good job of holding my composure throughout the night, and you have a lapse of judgment and slipped up.</s>SCHOLES: Trending on bleacherreport.com this morning, Steve Ballmer is really pumped up to finally be the official owner of the Los Angeles Clippers. He had a good old time and welcoming party yesterday at the Staples Center.</s>STEVE BALLMER, CLIPPERS OWNER: Do we have any clipper fans here? I can't hear you. We are going to get better every day. We are going to be tenacious something knocks us down. We're going to keep coming and coming and coming and coming and coming. Did you watch these guys? That was hard core. Hard core, baby!</s>SCHOLES: Wow! Steve Ballmer looks like he's going to be a good owner for the Los Angeles Clippers.</s>ROMANS: Vintage Ballmer, he's not trying to stir up the shareholder. Now, he's got a whole team, fans to get excited behind, so interesting. All right. Thanks so much. Talk to you soon, Andy. We are following breaking news out of Ferguson, Missouri, this morning.
