No Shit Sherlock

Is anyone surprised by today's allegations that NBA refs have aided the outcomes of playoff games? We're certainly not. We've long been certain that the Gangsta Hobbit sends out a memo to refs during playoff series' to "insist" that they either go longer or that the larger media market team gets preferential calls. The claim that, "star players are not to foul out or get technicals," is also no revelation.

We love basketball. More than just about anything else, and it pains us to watch the NBA. It's supposed to be the highest level of play for the greatest game in the world, but for a handful of reasons, one of the biggest being the inept refereeing, it's not. It's a lame impression of the great game. It sold-out long ago and is dummied-down for casual fans and corporate sponsorship.
