The nightmare is not the headline anyway. The nightmare is that a referee intentionally manipulated the outcome of a game! (And oh by the way, that's illegal!)

Even if they fired 20 refs for gambling, it's (most likely) for casino gambling, which is -- say it with me -- LEGAL. The nightmare is not the gambling, it's fixing games.

The PR problem is NOT that the refs go in and blow a couple grand at the poker table. The PR problem is that the league fixes it's games. So which one do you think they prefer now?

And, let me throw the same question to you that I asked Mike. How do you think Stern should handle it if you think he's not handling it properly?
