    <u>Crawford Nears Return</u>
    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Jul 27 - NBA referee Joey Crawford is expected to meet with commissioner David Stern next week in Manhattan for what could be the final step before the veteran ref is officially reinstated.

    "We will have no comment on the issue until a decision has been made," said NBA spokesman Tim Frank.

    Crawford, whose sometimes controversial career includes a fistfight with disgraced referee Tim Donaghy, was suspended in April for "improper conduct" during a game between the Spurs and Mavs in Dallas. -- New York Daily News </div>

    Anyone else starting to think Stern is just hiring a bunch of red neck carnies to ref games just to save money? God, what the hell is wrong with these guys.

    Imagine how many people wanna come see Duncan vs. Crawford Game 1. I'd pay to see that.

    I'm sure that Crawford will be kept away from Duncan if he's given his refree position back. Crawford will also likely never be a lead refree. I don't really like the fact that Stern has forgiven him right after another ref was caught gambling and effecting the outcome of games.

    Everyone knows Stern has sexual relations with all the refs.

    Maybe Joey was onto something. I for one welcome his return. He actually managed to make Tim Duncan interesting during a game.
