Default Tim Donaghy on 60 Minutes Tonight

I thought some here would be interested to know he is being interviewed on 60 minutes tonight.

http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=5881291n

Should be interesting to see what he is asked and how he answers it.

Some excerpts from his book at Deadspin

http://deadspin.com/5392067/excerpts...nt-you-to-read

sounds like he didn't fix the games, he just passed on the information about refs who he knew had biases against teams/players or if they favored home teams etc.

It's a lot like the whole Bonds Steroids in baseball. He got caught and was the poster boy for it, but you'd be pretty ignorant to think there's not a lot more of fixing games or point shaving going on in sports

I take anything this loser says with a grain of salt.

He's just looking for a buck.

That's what everyone initially said about Canseco and steroids in baseball too...

Looked like the NBA looks out for the precious Lakers and Kobe.
