What we need is a man on the inside. Find me a dirty NBA ref. No, not ALL of them! One will do.

NBA officiating sucks and may even be dirty! Is there anyone who watches the NBA to whom this is any sort of shocking revelation that we never would have expected?

The FBI is investigating allegations that a veteran NBA referee bet on basketball games over the past two seasons, including ones in which he officiated.

According to a law enforcement official, authorities are examining whether the referee made calls to affect the point spread in games on which he or associates had wagered.

I’m shocked and awed. Next you are going to tell me Larry Johnson’s 4-point play against the Pacers in the ‘99 ECF might have been bullshit.  (If that was continuation, I’m the Queen of France. No, I’m not still bitter at all.)

It was continuation.

Rule One of the NBA: Get the hell away from the superstars when they shoot the three.

You shouldn’t be bitter. Reggie’s “8 points in 11 seconds” outburst wouldn’t have been possible without a couple of felonious assaults on Anthony Mason.

All I going to say is that real fans know how to cope.

We cope with nachos and beer.

The LJ four-point play was complete and utter bullshit, of course, and I was thrown out of a bar for protesting that call with an airborne beer glass, but I do think that installing Jason as Queen of France is an idea whose time has come.

Let them eat cake! Cake I say!

Then I have been coping QUITE well in the years since. My waistline will attest to that.
