Ref Gets 15 Months

If you've ever wanted to get a ref for blowing a call - here is your chance... or not. Yesterday, attorneys for Tim Donaghy, the former NBA referee who admitted to betting on basketball games he officiated, filed a psychological "evaluation" that blames his crimes on compulsive gambling.

I hope he is not in jail roomed up with guy who bet on games he officiated (funny). Donaghy was suppose to have a more extensive sentence. His compulsive gambling was his plea.

The plea worked. Today, Donaghy was sentenced to 15 months in prison instead of the 27 to 33 months that had been expected. Note to everyone, do a crime have psychological behavior ready as your plea.

I wonder if he's gonna be in one of those tough cells. The convo will go like this:

Inmate: What you in for?
Ref: Gambling amongst other stuff
Inmate: Gambling aint no crime! What you do? You look familiar too
Ref: I betted on a NBA game, and messed up Phx Suns chance of ever winning a title.
Inmate: Ohhhh, you wild man! Did you drop your wistle?
Ref: No but I swallowed it, OOOPS I'M SO NASTY!!!
