We may be guessing, but I'm sure Stern isn't. He's already seen what the FBI has. I think ESPN is carrying Stern's news conference at 11 am Eastern today.

David Stern is the Commissioner of the NBA. He has a different responsibility to his league than other individuals. Similar to Arthur Blank and the Michael Vick situation, we have no idea what is going to ultimately happen. The official might have done things that were unethical that he would have lost his job anyway. But to say he fixed games is might be a stretch. Remember there have been no charges filed. There is no information on specific games (at least made public). I am just saying until we know for sure or some information is made public, be careful how much you think you might know. Usually what is presumed at the beginning of a situation usually does not end up the really took place. Remember "Weapons of Mass Destruction?" Just because we believe the sky is falling does not mean that is ultimately true.
