Reports are coming in that the NBA may have been investigating this guy twelve to eighteen months ago . . . I don't know when the feds got in on it . . . but that really left Mr. Stern in quite the dilemma . . . if he suspends the guy, it sort of blows the federal investigation . . . the g-men tend to frown on that . . . you'd think they would have had enough to do, digging up them damn dead dogs down in Virginia, but don't get me started on how our tax money is spent . . . so . . . Mr. Stern has got to sit there and watch as Irish Donaghy made any number of phantom calls against the Suns in game three against the Spurs . . . in retrospect, one can really enjoy the humor of Coach D'Antoni's anger, particularly with the benefit of the hindsight that he was probably intentionally being screwed so that Irish would cover . . .
There was once a performer in the WWF named Danny Davis . . .he was a wrestling "referee" whose actions in the ring quickly revealed he was in league with The Hart Foundation . . . quick three counts and the like . . . eventually Danny Davis donned the trunks and stepped into the squared circle . . . Mr. Stern should take this one completely over the top . . . embrace the scandal rather than run from it with mealy-mouthed excuses . . . that is, have a team sign Irish Donaghy as a player . . . and put him in the game only at very key moments for the gambling public . . . for instance, if Irish's team is leading by 8 and the spread is 7, and one second remains in the game and all Irish's team has to do is inbound the ball under its own basket and the game is over . . . so his coach puts Irish in . . . the crowd is going wild . . . the ball is inbounded to Irish and he shoots it into his own basket to make sure his team doesn't cover . . . by God, that would lead on Sportscenter . . . there's your "Who's Now" for ya . . .
