The Smoking Gun is reporting the details of the federal prosecutors pre-sentencing letter inTim Donaghy’s douchbagedness/fraud and consipracy case. Apparently, Donaghy did “not intentionally” fix games but made bad calls in NBA games dating back to 2003 in order to cover his bets.
You’ll remember Donaghy’s history of personal douchebagedness HERE…well…the dude was not only a regular douchebag, but one that went to great length’s to communicate his douchebagedness to betting cohorts:
Beginning in in or about 2003, and continuing to 2007, Donaghy provided betting recommendations or “picks” on NBA games he officiated to Jack Concannon, who was one of Donaghy’s friends. Donaghy and Concannon bet on approximately 40 games per season and shared evenly in the gambling winnings.
Further DB’ness….basically, Donaghy went down into Tony Soprano’s basement, switched on the dryer, and made cryptic phone calls to Tony Martino and James Battista — high school friends of Donaghy:
“Martino has two brothers. If Donaghy mentioned Martin’s brother Chuck (who lived in the Philadelphia area), the pick would be the home team. If, on the other hand, Donaghy mentioned Martino’s brother Johnny (who did not live in the Philadelphia area), the pick would be the visiting team.”
I would love to see this dude be someone’s rag-doll lover in federal prison. Something about him as a convict screams “beat the piss out of me” or “I’ll make you another grilled cheese sandwich” or “sure, I’ll put this wig on and call you Charles Barkley.”
