Nothing. The point of the thread is shed some light on the latest news that doesn't involve Vick.

Their piss-poor officiating already merited it.

Post by: Tre on July 20, 2007, 08:09:44 PM: From a game some 7 years ago:

Milwaukee coach George Karl was ejected by referee Tim Donaghy
with 4:54 left in the second quarter after arguing a non-call.

"That was the worst call of my career," Karl said. "It's a sad
commentary toward officiating. It was definitely personal, from
another game. I don't recall but it had to be something."

Now we know who this guy is and what he was about, every game he ever officiated will carry a cloud of suspicion.

I think the worst official is that short, old, bald guy. I forget his name but I used to cringe everytime he was officiating a game I was watching.

I hear several different things from the ref was in depth and he was trying to get out and/or he was so behind in depth when it was found out he was an NBA official these bosses used that to get some payback which triggered the FBI investigation on him.

I'm hearing on the air waves this guys is going to squeal out some names. Either other officials doing it and/or bosses that are going to cut his head off. lol.

Talk about somebody who would die to be in anyone's shoes right now.
