 Donaghy's buddies have their moment of truth
Donaghy's buddies have their moment of truth
Today David Stern cringes again, as the newspapers will revisit his least favourite topic of the last 12 months: the Tim Donaghy saga. Indeed, perhaps he will even be happy that the sports columnists will be filling their quota with "Childress takes Greek deal" headlines, if it distracts from the fact that today Donaghy's high school friends and gambling co-conspirators will be sentenced in court.

Warriors and rest of the NBA un-favorite teams may now have a fair chance
It looks like the little gremlin dictator commissioner has finally started to pay attention to the REAL image of the league and has started to make changes with the NBA that compare to some of the changes made in Major League Baseball after the Black Sox scandal. The Tim Donaghy affair and the repercussions are making ripples in the NBA pond that will affect the entire landscape and eventually ...

 The NBA Tries to Sweep Another One Under the Rug
The NBA Tries to Sweep Another One Under the Rug
Lost in the Josh Hamilton Home Run Show and Brett Favre fiasco was an interesting story from Fox News. A story the NBA probably wanted hidden. A story the NBA probably wanted to drop on Super Bowl Sunday so nobody would notice. But not even 28 HRs in one round of Derby nor a fake retirement of one of the NFLs most popular player could upstage this.

9.5 years later, David Stern makes the summer fun
Thank you, David Stern, for creating the 1999 Collective Bargaining Agreement. Sure, it's not the one the NBA is currently working under, and it did sort of destroy the 1998-99 season (sort of?), but let's call it - that season was going to be rubbish anyway. While we're on the subject, Steve Aschburner came through with a must-read column on the labor impasse from ten years ago . ..

Commissioner Stern’s NBA age limit is well-documented as being absolutely ridiculous, and the league needs someone like Jennings to stick it to the man. College purists should be pleased to know that ...
