The FBI is preparing to arrest
 

an NBA referee and several organized crime associates for fixing the outcomes of games the referee worked in, according to the New York Post.

The report says the number of games in which the group won large bets was in the "double digits" and includes games from the past two seasons.

Sources told the paper the referee had a gambling problem and wound up indebted to mob-related bookies.

The name was not released, but the Post says David Stern has a report on the referee and is aware of the investigation.

holy smokes. fixed NBA games!

Good. Down with Organized Crime. This crap is yet another reason for the Fed to divert attention from the war on terror.

doesn't surprise me.. it probably happens a lot more then people think.

I wish it were Barry Bonds being arrested.

That's awesome...

big news....sportscenter should be loaded with this story tonight

maybe not arrested. but all his stats and career should be null and void.

see and i would probably be upset if I watched NBA lol ....

They gave him immunity, if he told the truth, and he lied anyway. I don't know why they can't get a grand jury indictment.

well, one good move from the FBI!

IMagine something like that in sports.

Nothing new.

I could see a ref having a gambling problem but I'm not sure about fixing games.

That's no good...

fixed games??? nooooooooo, say it ain't so

I’m going to guess that referee is Joey Crawford. He ejected Spur’s star player Tim Duncan last season for laughing while he was sitting on the bench.

wow thats crazy news !!!

not until he shatters the record.
