Joey Crawford Retires After 39 Years

He will be missed

[BIGDAY]

Fuk him.

He quit.

[t-wizzle]

Crusty old bastard. Met him on several occasions. His antics were amusing though so I'll miss that.

[rm18]

I am down minimum of 100k in games he reffed probably more fukk him

[GUMMO77]

Imagine all the whisky he'll be consuming with nothing to do.

[DOM-Ganador]

I loved the BIG-OLE-WIND-UP for the charging calls...

Bottom line, players and coaches liked him on the game for the most part.

[RubberKettle]

Was on the take for sure 100%

Crooked as a Virginia fence

[Harry N. Lloyd]

Good riddance, ya bald headed prick. He belonged in wrestling.

[BuckyOne]

Him and that old scrag (Dick Bavetta) that looked like he was 80 years were just AWFUL-TERRIBLE REFS - NBA company men. A team is way up - they change the rules - screw them over at every call so the other team can catch up - that kind of stuff. I would not allow them to referee a middle school game - they were that bad! I am not saying they were blind or did not know the rules - they were horribly inconsistent - it might be a foul or a travel in the 1st quarter but not in the 4th quarter.

Totally glad those two numb nuts are gone!

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

Fuk him.

He quit.

Beat me to it you fukkin mountain man.

[Jayvegas420]

He was no Donaghy but, he was good.

[frugalgambler]

Is not that the p;rick who gave the first ring to Wade over Dirk ?

Yes and Yes. There's some mafia shit that's been going on with the refs. You almost never see young, unbiased refs come in, but these old dirty toads stay around forever. Guess they're not concerned with quality. But they are concerned with keeping around refs who bet on games. And I don't mean Donaghy.

I empathize with refs, who have to deal with grown men crying like bi+ches nonstop for 60 minutes a game. My issue is with whatever their governing body is.

[slayer14]

They deserve better pay these refs how can they stay on a court for over 60 minutes with grown men crying and moaning non stop lol.

[BuckyOne]

Well, they can't screw things up on out of bounds calls in the last two minutes anymore or clear path stuff, LOL. Look at how many calls get corrected in baseball and football now.

Umpires are still biased on balls and strikes - football doesn't call holding consistently - basketballl.....hard to throw a challenge flag on bad calls.

[pavyracer]

The best ref of our generation. He put the double e in refereeing.

[hans83]

curious to know how many games he fixed. think we will find out one day?
