Drunken Audible

Los Angeles Sports Musings for the Sneaker Inclined. // The Drunken Audible is an RSS feed from CLH and Sharky H. Towers with an emphasis on the Lakers, the National League West, the various Fútbol leagues of the world and how much money we're losing during the NFL season. And shoes.

The NBA, Donaghy and Ralph Nader

* A disgraced ref drops a bombshell

Man, everyone is saying people who think the NBA is manipulated are “conspiracy theorists” and should “go away”.  It’s sheep-like thought such as that that gets us into trouble collectively.  Like, oh I dunno, a war.

* Here’s Ralph Nader taking David Stern to task for just what Donaghy is saying

This is from back in 2002.  I mean, Nader is only a presidential candidate, but I guess we’re still all “conspiracy theorists”.

* Richard Clarke & Scott McClellan

Remember these guys?  The Bush administration laid out the playbook that David Stern is gonna use against Donaghy in this scandal.  It’s the “isolated incident, disgruntled employee” play, just watch (wait for Stern):

 

I was watching this during the Ball Don’t Lie Liveblog.  Everyone on that liveblog was dismissing JVG.  Really?  Okay…  I mean I guess.  JVG got fined $100k, but yeah…  you’re right still a conspiracy.

Fuck. I give up on you people.  Oh wait…  here’s one more to just give it some current events.

 

Wait, wait… we’ve got the Lakers fans, the Kings fans… let’s get the Mavs fans, Cuban you around?
