This is just ONE MORE example of why I only watch and support college sports.

I believe he''s being absolutely truthful when he says many referees are crooked and it''s unofficial policy of the NBA that leads back to Stern.

One only has to have seen almost any championship series over the last decade or decade and a half to know he''s telling the truth.

Whereas he deserves the prison time he got, in a way it''s unfair; he goes to jail long after multiple politicians and their staff and appointees commit terrible crimes, they haven''t been charged and probably never will be!

There are so many "crooked" people in sports; from the refs to the players.

It is very disappointing.

If only there was a toilet big enough, the entire NBA could be flushed and forgotten; and the women ain''t far behind.

Anyone who has watched the NBA for long knowes it''s been fixed for years. Usually it''s fixed to get the larger market teams in the Finals to up the tv viewership.

The Kings-Lakers was a good example. The Suns-Spurs in 2007 is an even better example. It goes beyond the refs to the league office and to Stern.

Stern should step down.

I knew something was up with that Kings-Lakers series from 2002.......time for an asteriks next to the title or take it back altogether...

"Donaghy has claimed corruption among referees runs deeper,"


Now we all know this can''t be true.

Only ONE referee can "fix" games.
