The Fix Is In…No Really
(Joey Crawford…suspended for the playoffs…hmm)
The New York Post says that the FBI is investigating an NBA referee for an apparent point-shaving scheme…The story, which the paper is running as an exclusive has several explosive allogations…
-
“…Federal agents are set to arrest the referee and a cadre of mobsters and their associates who lined their pockets, sources said.
“These are dangerous people [the referee] was involved with,” a source said.
One source close to the probe counted the number of games on which the ref and his wiseguy buddies scored windfalls in the “double digits.”
NBA Commissioner David Stern is aware of the investigation and has a report about the referee on his desk, another source said.
The official, whose name was withheld, allegedly wagered on games during the 2005-06 and 2006-07 NBA seasons…”
(say it ain’t so Kenny)
This would, of course, be disastrous for the NBA and for the evil overlord David Stern, who has repeatedly scoffed at the notion that referee’s had an influence on the game. We at the Beast Lair have thought for years that certain referees were making suspicious calls against our team, and they called Tommy crazy for it… Anyway, Stern needs to come clean and clean house… We’ll be watching and waiting…

[…] After the busting of gangsta/ref Tim Donaghy, the comments Ryan Gomes made were taken a little too seriosly. Apparently, Ryan recently got a phone call at his home from someone from the “security department” who wanted to talk about Ryans recent comments about how the C’s were playing. We all know that Sterno had something to do with that phone call, and the Beast Lair has a few words for Sterno; we didn’t get Mr. Oden or Mr. Durant…actually, we didn’t really get anything (draftwise, if you ignore the hall of fame two cause he’s thirty two), so why you hatin’ on us Sterno? Sterno, you be trippin. You need to move to Palm Springs and start a collection, a foundation, or some shit with your name on it and leave the city game alone!! […]
