NBA Refs Off the Hook?

I am not suggesting Stern should take action against any official just based on Donaghy's statement. I do think his statement, if substantiated by polygraph or readily accessible physical evidence, should be cause for Stern to launch an in-depth investigation ans "let the cards fall where they will".

Just because a convicted felon and practiced liar is able to pass a polygraph? Maybe if there's some meaningful evidence beyond Donaghy's word. But I'd highly doubt the FBI will be concerned enough to even hold on to any evidence they accidentally collect unless it actually shows something illegal.

Nothing I've seen suggests Donaghy is alleging his coworkers ever did anything actually illegal; only that they broke NBA rules by gambling in casinos.

I'm with Scrappy, again.
