    Matty next time we talk I’ll tell you a funny story about the guy. He’s from Deleware Co PA which is a hotbed of NBA officials (Joey Crawford - Matt Lindsey to name a few)

    I hate that mother fuk’er to this day! He absolutely cheated Steve Nash of the Phoenix Suns out of an NBA Championship.

    You just knew that SOB was on the take by the way he was calling games! I’d spit in his fuk’in face if I ever ran into him!

    You know it's still being done today. Maybe not on the NBA level but you know some ref out in the MAC or Big Sky Conference could easily fix a dozen or so games a year and easily get away with it. No doubt.

    My bad. I didn't know a thread was started....

    The Animals landed in Curaçao, where they helped launch an online sportsbook known as Play*ASAP. It was situated in a house a block off the beach. And it was there, in fall 2003 -- between beers under palms at the Mambo Beach tiki bar, between rounds of golf and late-night poker sessions at the Holiday Beach hotel's casino -- that the Animals began to cash in on one brilliant discovery.

    Rhino Ruggieri was booking bets made by an acquaintance from back home, a guy he knew from the golf course named Jack Concannon. Back in Philly, Ruggieri had noticed that Concannon's bet sizes were an order of magnitude higher on certain NBA games. And those bets won -- won like Concannon had never won before. Normally this guy was a $100 or $200 or maybe $500 bettor. And normally this guy lost. But suddenly this recreational dumb-money insurance salesman was putting five dimes each on select NBA games and beating the bookies? Why? There had to be a pattern.

    Since he was now affiliated with PlayASAP, Ruggieri was running all the bets that he booked back home, including Concannon's, through the Play*ASAP website. Everyone at the Curaçao office, therefore, had access to Concannon's gambling account. They'd studied his wagers. It hadn't taken long to deduce. Because he was a sometime member of the same golfing circle back home, Ruggieri knew that Concannon and NBA ref Tim Donaghy were friends. They checked the games. Who were the referees? Sure enough, there he was. One of the three was always him. F---ing Donaghy.

    This story is no surprise. Of course he fixed the games. Look at the video of that Suns game? It could not be more obvious.

    How Stern got away with saying no games were impacted was a joke.

    Didn't he claim to hit 70% ATS in his bets? Not that I believe him.

    Long read but very interesting. Surprising? No. But cool to see the gritty details emerge. What a scumbag Donaughy is. What a scumbag Stern is.

    I heard through the grapevine that Scott Foster is involved in game fixing. No proof though. Just sift through the stats the games he reffed.

    Scott Foster, Kenny mauer, Tony brothers. These guys are all still fixing games here and there. The only difference is donaghy got sloppy.

    The best part was that the NBA already knew about the indictment before it happened. They like all major businesses have insiders on the take and were tipped off well in advance.

    Stern had plenty of time to get his ducks in a row before the story broke. His number one fingerman Joey Crawford was mysteriously "suspended" right before the "investigation" for trying to "pick a fist fight" with Tim Duncan for no reason. The suspension conveniently removed him from the investigation.

    When would a 60 yr old, 5 foot nothing white ever challenge a 7 footer in the NBA to fight? GTFO. I'd cream my pants if one of the SBR posters here tried to come at me in person

    Old news, the rat needed some cheese so he’s talking again. Why hasn’t he learned from the other fixers like Dick Bavetta and Joey Crawford who keep their mouths shut?

    You hit the nail on the head. Whatever way the game needs to go... those 3 would dictate it in a heartbeat.
