Tom Donaghy Released Today; When Does He Get Murdered?

moses millsap · 11-05-09, 01:28 AM

And it's BEYOND pathetic how little coverage his allegations have gotten in the media. Want the NBA to finally be exposed as the fraudulent league that it is.

You might have a point there, they shut that book deal up

moses millsap · 11-05-09, 01:35 AM

hoping he finds an independent publisher before his life ends

L2Gunz · 11-05-09, 01:35 AM

yeah no doubt...murder she wrote!!!

lyon804 · 11-05-09, 01:36 AM

I have read excerpts from the book. I would love to read the whole thing even if it is just BS I imagine some truth to what I have read and its shocking, but not surprising

This story died quickly, but the Tochett, Gretzky gambling story seemed to go on for a bit. Great damage control by the NBA.

moses millsap · 11-05-09, 01:39 AM

I really doubt it's BS, maybe 5% embellishment, but most of it is too detailed and precise to be made up and for what? He's just gonna concoct all these stories about the refs laughing about T-ing up Sheed and laughing it off later with beers and chicken wings? I doubt it. Stern wants us to believe he is the only rogue ref, but that is some of the funniest BS I've ever heard. Anybody who follows NBA with a close eye knows most of what he said is true to the exact word.

Best believe there is definitely truth being told by Donaghy. Maybe not 100% but there is atleast some truth! It's gonna be interesting to see how this whole thing unfolds.

Someone will pay him to go on some talk show, it might be a few months, but He will talk more.

DrStale · 11-05-09, 01:42 AM

If Stern doesn't do it I have a feeling there are a few broke gamblers out there who wouldn't mind paying him a visit.

tullamore · 11-05-09, 01:42 AM

A lot the stuff in NBA games might be human nature. You make a bad call on one end, so you even it out on the other end.

Or some rich ones, that might want to protect him.

The last thing the NBA wants is for Donaghy to be murdered. It would only give more life to the NBA is fixed idea.

I'm pretty sure 90% plus of the gamblers are on Donaghy's side. He was given a great offer to make money to fix games. Most of us if given that much power would yield to the corruption and money as well.

There would be nothing more beautiful than to see this fraud league take a massive collapse, but it's obvious the government is on their side, so it will be tough if not impossible. It is too much of a money maker and that is why I expect Donaghy to be executed quickly.

Stern is worse than Hitler; at least Adolf was up front with his feelings instead of pulling the strings behind the scenes and putting on a farce and spitting in the public's face.

I don't think the ones who lost a ton of money because of games he fixed are on his side.

moses millsap · 11-05-09, 01:56 AM

Yeah, but he fixed so many, they won't ever know. Maybe I should rephrase the statement and say that I'm pretty sure 90% plus of the gambler's support Donaghy's decision to write a book and would like to see said book published instead of siding with the NBA/Stern power machine that is going to do everything in its power to keep that book from ever getting published.

bigsassyster · 11-05-09, 02:06 AM

print the book!

rm18 · 11-05-09, 02:17 AM

killed in next couple months but not by stern

CarpeDime · 11-05-09, 03:57 AM

I voted til 2010. I would be very surprised if he got killed this week. Not sure they want him hanging around for 2 months until 2010, but I'd say more likely than not he lasts til then.

RAILBIRD · 11-05-09, 05:11 AM

Donaghay has no enemys, he was a small time gambler. Only enemy is the stern spin machine. The same morons will watch the nba.

stevek173 · 11-05-09, 05:51 AM

i heard they were letting him back in the league

jjgold · 11-05-09, 06:11 AM

He will be fine and betting again soon.

Railbird is correct he was small time and low level mafia

paco · 11-05-09, 07:16 AM

U guys don't think Donaghy got paid off by the NBA?? He could easily gotten the book published

smitch124 · 11-05-09, 08:23 AM

I'm really disappointed that Stern couldn't get him shivved in prison, jeez a commissioner has no power these days.
