Tim Donaghy NBA Ref and the Mafia

well today it has leaked that a former NBA Ref has Mafia ties because of a bad gambling Problem. now I have some friends from back in the day who ain't cared about the Nba in years. not so much about the players even though more traveling and carrying of the ball is allowed along with other rules, but the suspect calls and how some of these games go. so hearing that a ref was done on the take somehow just doesn't surprise or shock me. the sport has felt so funny time on so many occasions that nothing would surprise me. so this ref has the FBI on his behind and what will happen next? NBA Commisoner David Stern has got to be feeling a bit un-easy these days. if a Ref can call a foul in a important time of the game then it can mean winning or losing.now the Conspiracy theroist in me says that there are more refs down on the take and I wouldn't be surprised if a few players were in on the cut. needless to say Mark Cuban has to be somewhere saying i told you so. something just doesn't add up and isn't right. this has been a strange year in sports and in just the past week in the sports world.
