The Official Tim Donaghy Ref Scandal Thread

[ducks]

thanks

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

This guy has got to have a bounty on his head right now, he can ruin alot of peoples lifes by spilling the beans

[degenerate_gambler]

Expert and Brandon Lang should never be used in the same sentence.

However, in this case I agree with him.

This scandal is about the O/U of a game and not the pointspread. Sorry Sun fan.

[Brutalis]

funny but sad, yet true and glad!

[nkdlunch]

I need a rush order of 2 boxes of those.

[ShoogarBear]

I knew it!!!

Billy Paultz did not travel in 79........I want that 79 championship trophy returned to its rightful owner

Wasn't a travel call, dumbbell, it was an offensive foul.

Well the good thing about all this is I accidentally deleted Game 3 of the WCSF from my DVR, but now maybe it'll be more readily available on torrent.

[VinnyTestesVerde]

It's probably not realistic for me to hope that people will reserve judgment on other "named" parties until there is sufficient proof/investigation into their involvement.

let's not bring due process and logic into this

[nkdlunch]

this record is broken:

[Buddy Holly]

I'd l;ove to see the blown calls made on the Spurs side given as a VIdeo Response.

What a one sided bitter pill.

All that video proves is that Eddie F. Rush is a bad ref. But we all know that.

A Sun Fan edited Game 3 and came up with one questionable Donaghy foul? That's pretty lame. Even that foul wasn't that bad. Manu has whined his way to countless after-the-play fouls like that.

If I'm Donaghey and I'm getting ready to start ratting people out, I'm telling the Feds the only way I talk is you have to get me out of the country into a witness protection program or something along those lines.

[Darkwaters]

Back to basics is having trouble coming to terms with this.

Your team didn't win. Its tainted....twice.

If you seriously think that game 3 was tainted then you need to rewatch game 4. Phoenix got every call that night and an "unlikely comeback" wouldn't have happened were it not for the gracious refs.

Get over yourself.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

What do you think will happen to the players/coaches who were involved?

Anyone named will be banned from the sport for life (if they can prove the allegations true).

[monosylab1k]

The series Spurs vs. Mavs was a rigged one. I am sure he will name the refs of that series. But that is all in the past. I am not like Sun fans crying about it still.

Then why did you bring it up?

[ploto]

I have been saying this for a couple of days- that it is easiest to impact the over and under. You have a good defender and put him in foul trouble- total goes up. You take an important scorer and put him on the bench- total goes down. Call a lot of fouls and shoot a lot of free throws- total goes up.

It does still taint the overall outcome of the game because certain players can be targeted to accomplish this.

[Winery]

This is the most awesome thing I've ever seen

link to follow that includes irrefutable footage.


What other things has Donaghy done?


Kori, lock or delete if need be.

[tmtcsc]

Out Stern on what ? While I have thought that he was often too quick to dismiss questionable officiating, I could never imagine him directing refs to favor anyone during a game.

He sticks up for his officiating crews, that's it. This year, he actually did something about it with Crawford and I don't think it was an easy decision.

This situation with Donaghy is unfortunate and bad for the league but I would be surprised if it wasn't an isolated case. Also, the ref can effect a game's point spread but I think it would be very difficult to effect the Win-Loss outcome.

I hope this blows over. To say our le is tainted is ridiculous. those cry baby Suns. They will forever be tainted in my book as a bunch of wannabes.

[justanotherspursfan]

Then why did you bring it up?

The only thing more annoying than Suns fans who want to whine about this year is Spurs fans who want to whine about last year but still want to claim the Suns fans should STFU about this year.

Y'all beat us fair and square in '06. I look forward to a return engagement.

[ShoogarBear]

The plot thickens.

Reputations that would actually be enhanced by finding out they were really just on the take:

Dirk Nowitzki
Tracy McGrady
Vince Carter
Kenyon Martin
Mehmet Okur
Damon Jones
Brad Miller
Leandro Barbosa
Shawn Marion

[Kori Ellis]

Consolidation.
