    You along with.....? Not even an hour after creating this thread, you're speaking for a body of mythical people who don't agree with me.

    Whatever works for you buddy.

    :D

    Aren't NBA refs barred from casinos, etc., to avoid the gambling scene altogether? Seems that came out in one of the Donaghy reports. If so, the 20 names could be a big deal.

    Yet the Maloofs can own and run a casino and the Sacramento Kings.

    Where's Mark Cuban to be grinning from ear to ear about the ref situation?

    Ah, Mr. Chee. Paging Mr. Chee.

    Perhaps you could write a different head for the thread.

    Given that Donaghy is in hot water for his activities involving NBA games, my first thought was that he was going to implicate 20 others who attempted to fix NBA games.

    Will Stern be pissed to learn refs are venturing into areas that could lead down the path Donaghy eventually took? Yes.

    But unless they fixed NBA games, it isn't as big a deal as Dongahy's issue.

    Agreed, Armageddon. Chee, that's a pretty damn misleading way of titling and wording your post. It suggests 20 others implicated for the same conduct as Donaghy, in reality this could be something as simple as a visit to a casino. Need to wait for more evidence to come out before assessing the seriousness of this.

    Mmac:

    Me thinks that was his/her intent. Not surprising.

    Not surprising eh? Why is that? Let me guess. Chee has a reputation in here!!

    What I'm not surprised at is how we now need to be "patient" when it comes to Stern and Co.

    Can we at least spell the guy's name right in the thread title?

    They're only allowed to go to dog tracks... Why that's where they draw the line I'll never know...

    Think it's dog and horse tracks. Again, why the distinction? Probably some old ref who was a railbird grumbled to Stern during contract talks, and the commish said, ah, fine, only the race tracks then.

    That'd be too easy.
