Keefe: New Clippers Owner Steve Ballmer Is Crazy

BOSTON (CBS) - Some fan bases throw pep rallies and fill out arenas when they land three of the top players in free agency, while others just go crazy for the owner.

Clippers fans must be thrilled that Donald Sterling is no longer controlling the team, because they came out in droves on Monday at the Staples Center to welcome former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.

Ballmer came out to Eminem's "Lose Yourself" and spoke to the crowd like he was a wrestler in the WWE, and it just got more awkward as the fan rally went on.

If pictures really do say a thousand words, then get a load of these gems:

Well on Monday night Rich Keefe, filling in for Adam Jones, had a little fun with the insanity that was the Clippers fan rally for Steve Ballmer.

Producer Josh Deering then spliced together audio from the fan rally with sound from motivational speaker Matt Foley, Chris Farley's fictional character on Saturday Night Live. You can't even tell the difference.
