[BIRD33]

I think people are kind of overreacting, its not the black sox scandal.Only people who bet on the spread got screwed which is a minority.I agree it will cast suspicion on all refs in every sport but it didnt change the winner of any games(to my knowledge).I think it will blow over eventually.I agree with Bill simmons that the NBA has a problem with its fans in general.Its almost like the most exciting part of the year has become the lottery and the draft.People barely pay attention during the regular season(which is why I think the ref thing will blow over) and the finals gets no ratings.There are no exciting teams anymore.The spurs are great but boring.The most exciting series was Golden State\Dallas and the games didnt start until 10 PM.Donaghy is just one more problem for David Stern.
