K2C Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Come on..this guy is going down and want everyone to go with him. He's full of **** IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I wouldn't rat, no matter what. If he does or does not rat, he's still going to do 24 years in prison, so what's the point ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsis Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I wouldn't rat, no matter what. If he does or does not rat, he's still going to do 24 years in prison, so what's the point ? I don't know the specifics, but if he was gonna do 24 years and he then ratted on 20-30 people odds are his sentence gets dropped down to something more like 5 years. I don't see what's wrong with "ratting" I say that ratting is a million times better than the schmucks who are doing the illegal **** to begin with. Don't kill people/deal drugs/ bet on a sport you work for/ embezzle and you wont have to worry about "snitches" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anskyruben Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Don't break the law, and you won't have to worry about anyone ratting you out. I doubt the guy is bluffing. The feds wouldn't be offering him a reduction in his sentence, unless they had info leading to this being true. Goodbye NBA credebility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Troll Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 And Hockey and Baseball are SOOO much more fun to watch. The NBA is fun to watch? Is it 1995 again? A team can be down by 20 in the 1st quarter, come back and win, and hear crickets. No one gives a ****. The first 42 minutes of a basketball game don't mean ****. And even the very last "exciting" minute takes 20 to complete because of all the fouls/timeouts. The NBA sucks. The players don't care anymore. Neither does anyone else.

ShadowJet35 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Ignoring the previous post. I hope Donaghy is bluffing, if he isn't, then Stern really has something to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsis Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I'll watch a knicks game when I have nothing better to do, but the NBA hasn't been exciting for me since the mid -90's. It probably helped that I was 10 in the mid-90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterNorth09 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 wow if this is true then holy crap Duh? How else do you think the Bulls almost won 50 games and made it to the 2nd round last year? I like to watch the NBA but it has traditionally had some of the poorest officiating in all of pro sports. None of this stuff is new. Remember the Michael Jordan forcefield rule of the 90's? Nobody could even go near that guy without getting a foul called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetCane Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Agreed. I haven't watched an NBA game in a realllly long time. The last time i followed the NBA was when the Spurs beat the Knicks in the Finals. What was that, 98? btw the FIRST time I followed the NBA was in the 60s. I was lucky enough to have been taken by my Dad to the OLD MSG, back when they played doubleheaders (four different teams) on Tuesday nights. Damn, I'm old. The Red Holzman Knicks were my favorite B-Ball team to watch of all time. Now? pffft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Fecal matter, meet cooling device. Stern's fix job joke of a league is about to collapse. He lied through his teeth pretending there was no way they could figure out if Donaghy was going to the Borgata. Donaghy was a loudmouth and a braggart. He was getting comped every chance he could, and for that he had to give a credit card and SS# for the IRS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavrik Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Wow, they think the NBA has an image problem now, imagine fixing it after 30 refs have been fired for gambling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
