Things Keep Getting Worse For Tim Donaghy

Last week, reports revealed the FBI was investigating whether Villanova grad and NBA official Tim Donaghy made calls to influence games in order to ease gambling debts. The mob might also be involved.

Uhh, yeah. My reaction was, plainly, "Guh, wha?" Yeah, Tim Donaghy made some questionable calls. He made some bad calls. But every referee makes bad calls. That's because every single basketball referee on the planet is a terrible ref. Especially that one in my intramural league senior year of college, the one where I fouled out in pretty much every game. And that one in that three-on-three tournament my freshman year. And that ref who managed to trample me while backpedaling when I was like nine.

Okay, you get the point. Well, anyway, now the police have apparently been called to Donaghy's Florida home after he received threatening phone calls. Most certainly the call came from an irate, moronic Suns fan.

One thing we know, the threatening phone calls weren't from a St. Joe's grad. I think they're happier than ever, pretty much.
