Donaghy — the NBA’s Pete Rose

The 13-year NBA official is currently under investigation by the FBI for affecting betting lines in games he was working.

Know this: this is not an indictment. This is not a subpoena. This is a report of an investigation only.

If true, it makes the Black Sox scandal in Major League Baseball look like small potatoes.

We will wait and see. In the meantime, NBA commish David Stern said the following to the Associated Press regarding the investigation
“We would like to assure our fans that no amount of effort, time or personnel is being spared to assist in this investigation, to bring to justice an individual who has betrayed the most sacred trust in professional sports, and to take the necessary steps to protect against this ever happening again.”

Sounds like the guy knows something the AP doesn’t, eh?

And now … what Donaghy deserves IF it is true.
