Say it ain't so, Tim.

So, as you may have heard this past week, and as you may long have expected if you're a fellow pro basketball fan, it turns out several NBA games might well have been fixed by a crooked, desperate ref with mob connections, one Tim Donaghy. I run hot and cold on ESPN Sportsguy Bill Simmons, but his take on this growing scandal thus far is pretty solid: "When news of the scandal broke on Friday...every diehard NBA fan had the same reaction. They weren't thinking, 'I can't believe it!' or 'Oh my God, how could this happen?' They were thinking, 'Which one was it?'" (Yeah, I did that.) Also, consider this: "Tim Donaghy didn't just violate the integrity of the league and rig some games. There's a good chance he altered the course of the 2007 championship." Sigh...this is not good. Update: Commissioner Stern weighs in.
