I cannot stand to listen to this man. I guess he thinks his comments are hurting the league. Well they are, but that is the only reason he is doing this is to get back and those that did not support him.

Peace

I'm getting infuriated about how much credibility various radio personalities are giving him.

Deadspin got our attention. That's all that matters.

I hate to say this, but some of his observations were bang on.

A stopped clock is right twice a day.

I have no problem if his takes seemed fair. But they have a vindictive nature to them. He makes it sound like the officials do nothing right. Then he makes it seem as if calls were made because people complained or *****ed about previous calls. Or he claims they are just incompetent. Now I do not know a lot of his background from what he has done as an official, but I do not recall that he was a NBA Finals mainstay. It sounds mostly like sour grapes because he is no longer in the league and he was caught.

Peace

I don't know why but I just spent 30 minutes reviewing each one of the games that were critiqued by Donaghy. Thats 30 minutes I used to confirm this comment for myself and I couldn't agree more.

He is wrong about the calls far more often then his comments are credible. My observation by reading the comment, watching the segment in the video and then re-reading the comments.

No credibility to this guy at all.
