    Gamblers afraid of Tim Donaghy's syndrome affecting other referees
    Do you remember Tim Donaghy, a "one-time inconspicuous NBA referee who turned out to have a lot more in his back pocket than just a whistle"?
    Have you ever wondered if "that call" that cost your bet to go sour was fixed? I have. And guys like this DO EXIST. I was reading an article in SBRforum about this guy, Donaghy was convicted in a sports betting scandal when an FBI investigation determined that he was trying to use his power to control the point spread in basketball games. And guess what. I bet that probably I was going the other way.

    Now what if this is also happening in the NFL. I have seen rulings that sometimes let me thinking on a "what if". I don't know how you feel about this whole thing but for me it reminds me of keeping special attention on how a referee calls a play from now on.

    More cameras and replays than ever now, I think 99% of refs/umps are legit.

        As long as humans will continue doing the job, the system will be flawed.

          I have seen some replays and they are just wrong. And sometimes the coach has the balls to challenge and the ref just goes "ruling stands" I guess he just feels Cashinga!!! in his pockets
