Tim Donaghy tells all?

I saw and heard an interview that Tim D did on the Scott Van Pelt Show. It seemed like he did not want to "indict" anyone else of his behavior. Scott's side kick (I cannot think of his name) thought that Tim D was deflecting responsibility as he never really had evidence. They talked about the Portland-Lakers series several years ago that many people have claimed was fixed and the "sidekick" said that the Trailblazers missed 13 straight shots. Then Tim D could not say there was anything there unless he saw the tape. It is clear to me that Tim D does not have any evidence of anything other than what he did. And his claim in this interview was that he basically was wrong on "insider trading" not fixing games or claiming anyone fixed games. He even said he was the only one. Now if he was not the only one, he would be able to prove it or suggest more than by innuendo.

Also - did any of you notice that the interviewer, while showing one of the Iverson videos, referred to "palming" as a foul? I guess that's to be expected.

Tim Donaghy... disgusting thing that he did... he totally urinated on it and every sports official that came before him.

Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.: C'mon. Tell us what you really think. Don't hold anything back. Let it all out. It's unhealthy to keep things pent up inside.

And that's your best shot? That's all you got? Show some initiative.

The lead negotiator (Lamell McMorris) and spokesman for the NBA's referees says Tim Donaghy made threats against him, and that the disgraced former official's accusations about his colleagues shouldn't be believed because he is a "compulsive liar."
