remember Jose Canseco - a dirtbag for sure - but a dirtbag who was telling the truth when he blew the whistle on the rampant everyday use of steroids in baseball.

Tim Donaghy, the disgraced NBA referee headed to prison has told the Feds that the NBA itself rigs games and playoff series.

Anybody who follows the NBA knows in their gut what the truth is.

Goodbye David Stern.

Donaghy first began telling the FBI about other referees in July 2007. He gave federal investigators additional information in a meeting in September. His claims are serious. They include allegations that the NBA attempted to insulate star players from technical fouls to build up ticket sales and television ratings. Most seriously, he claims there was a successful effort by two referees to extend a playoff series to a seventh game, assisting in the victory for the team that trailed 3-2 in the series. The accusations are the kinds of things that fuel conspiracy theories that abound among NBA fans, but Donaghy is now adding dates, places and games. According to Donaghy and Lauro, two referees in 2002 deliberately ignored fouls that resulted in injuries and called "made-up fouls" to give addition foul shots to one team. Even worse, Donaghy asserts that the referees did all of it because they were "company men" who "always act[ed] in the interest of the NBA, and that night, it was in the NBA's interest to add another game to the series."
