 Zebraphobia Pt. II  Links2
Great, great post, JB. You're preaching to the choir. In fairness to David Stern, the use of officiating to determine the outcome of NBA games goes a long, long way back.

Two Good Links

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.
