Kings Should Call “Foul”

According to an article at Bloomberg.com, disgraced NBA referee, alleged gambler, and confirmed ass-hat Tim Donaghy claims that NBA referees, under instructions from higher ups, helped to defeat the Sacramento Kings in the 2002 playoffs against the LA Lakers.

If this is true, then this really sucks, and if the Maloofs should throw a Las Vegas style hissy fit. Also, if this isn’t some fiction dreamed up by a desperate tool, then David Stern will go down in a ball of fire while my mother-in-law pours gasoline on the flames. If there’s one thing that Mo-Law doesn’t tolerate, it’s immorality in her sporting events. Especially against her Kings.

  1. Ooh..AquaciseMom (mother of RunnerGirl) would *not* be happy. Sac-eats is not kidding. She’s probably the only 71 (almost 72) year old woman who regularly writes letters to the editor of Sports Illustrated, and yes, she’s a longtime subscriber. She can run circles ’round just about anyone talkin’ hoops.

  2. I have no idea if Donaghy’s allegations have any validity to them or not, but I chuckled sadly at David Stern’s response, which was basically to allege Donaghy is making stuff up to get a lighter sentence. Isn’t that what mob bosses say when an underling turns state’s evidence on them?

  3. This has been going on for years. Ralph Nader even has been calling foul for some time. Professional sports has been rigged even before the tv or radio. Refs to reading lips, everyone cheats, lies, and gets away with it. Buy a Coke and forget about it.

  6. Donaghy was sentenced today to 15 months in prison. He could have received up to 33 months, but was given leniency because he cooperated with investigators.

  7. Wow, so he got as much time as the professional gambler/mobster who he conspired with, who only pled guilty after they turned Donaghy. And other things I directly quoted from ESPN.
