First there was the I-5 fix, then there was the attempted election fix, and now the guy who is negotiating our Cal Expo Arena deal at this very moment might have orchestrated a FIX that led to the Sacramento Kings elimination from Finals contention in the notorious Lakers vs. Kings playoff series in 2002!
I can’t make this stuff up. Today it is being reported that the much ballyhooed series between the Lakers and the Kings in the 2002 Western Conference Finals (in which the Kings lost in game seven, after being penalized like a drunken hockey team for six games prior), was FIXED! That’s right: a Pete Rose special!
Who says? The same scarlet letter NBA referee, Tim Donaghy, who resigned in disgrace after admitting to betting on and influencing the outcome of many NBA games. He has pretty much stated under oath that NBA brass was behind the Lakers victory. in that series. Ok yeah, this is the same guy who tried to run his postman off the road for bumping into his garbage can, but will you humor me here for a minute? Can I just say one thing before you call into question the witness’s credibility?
In my best Chris Farley voice: I K N E W I T!!!!!
Hey, if this proves to be true, and it comes out that Cal Expo Arena architect and NBA gestapo NBA fun-sucker commish David Stern is complicit, he needs to be prosecuted right alongside Donaghy. As an added bonus, he should be made to pay restitution to Mark Cuban for the $1,565,000 in fines he has made Cuban pay for—GET THIS—bad mouthing NBA officiating!
Stern is the same headmaster that banned players from wearing hip hop style clothing when they are not in uniform at games.
This is an OUTRAGE!
