    I wonder what else is in the book to back up this claim (in the article, it all appears to stem from one FBI informant). There's barely enough here for Golliver to write an article - how does Brian Tuohy possibly write a book about it?

    David Stern will find away to get around it.

    My reaction too. 31 years later, the FBI won't give one detail, much less a name? Then there was nothing chargeable at all.

    There was evidence of widespread game-fixing by NBA officials as recently as 5 years ago, and it was brushed aside. Scott Foster is still an NBA ref, last time I checked.

    What a nothing article.

    I have no doubts Donaghy was simply a fall guy. A guy you point a finger at to say to the fans, "See, we are watching out for the game. We are protecting the authenticity."

    Bullshit.

    I have little doubt that game-fixing is as big of an issue as Donaghy claims.
