For years now I've looked the NBA much like I look at the WWE. It's entertaining. It's run by shady characters. The participants are large, ugly, tattooed men. And it's fixed.
I'm sorry, the WWE is scripted -- the NBA is fixed, at least according to ex-referee Tim Donaghy, who ought to know, since, well, he was, himself, a fixer.
The Tim Donaghy scandal just got more serious.The NBA is being run into the ground by David Stern, who is more concerned with getting good TV match-ups in the playoffs than in running an above-board enterprise. He should be fired and indicted.
The disgraced former NBA referee told authorities in a four-page letter released Tuesday that two officials conspired to fix the outcome of a 2002 playoff series and influenced several other post- and regular-season games.
The NBA -- it's FIX-tastic!
