Step aside Mr. Peterman… there is a new perfect irony in town. What if bookies across the nation started taking bets on if Tim Donaghy, the gambling NBA ref who asked for police protection, would be dead or alive by the time he’s sentenced.

Donaghy is looking at a maximum of 25 years, which seems a little steep considering Leonard Little killed someone in a DUI case and didn’t step 1 foot insidea jail cell. But that’s besides the point. A lot of people are pissed and millions of dollars were lost because of Donaghy. Hell, even the Judge could have had a stake in the games?

So what would be the over/under on Tim Donaghy actually living to see the inside of a jail? I’ll take the under on that. There’s a lot of mafia members and general folks that wouldn’t mind seeing him dead. But actually, I don’t think someone would kill Donaghy before his sentencing. I think he’ll put lead in his brain by himself. This is too much for him to handle.

It’s a sad story for sure, but he brought it upon himself. So Bookies, crack open an ice cold Bud Light and “make the world a better place, punch Tim Donaghy in the face.”
