FBI investigation corruption in the NBA
The FBI have opened an investigation into alleged illegal betting by a referee with times to the Mafia.
The investigation apparently began a year ago zeroing in on blockbuster allegations that the referee was making calls that affected the point spread to guarantee that the ref/refs and the bookies who had their hooks in him, cashed in on large bets.
How come I'm not surprised....

The NBA's response (typical response to these type of things):
The NBA issued a brief statement: "We have been asked by the FBI, with whom we are working closely, not to comment on this matter at this time."
Could be interesting times.
