NBA Coverup, Stern controls ESPN?

[Storm Surge]

ESPN and it's analysts are all dismissing the story like it's nothing. Look at all of the media outlets, they aren't talking about it much. Even realGM, yes, realGM doesn't have this story in its wiretap.

Does David Stern control ESPN/realGM/Fox/CNN?

I wouldn't be surprised...there is a massive coverup going on. The reason refs aren't talking is because they are afraid of STERN. He will ruin their lives if they try and rat out the NBA. His goons would kidnap their children, attack their wives etc.

The FBI won't find anything when they do their "investigation". Stern has the $$$ and he will bribe them. If Donaghy weren't in federal control he'd be dead by now...

JVG spoke the TRUTH, but unfortunately, Stern and his goons got to him and, fearing for the lives of his family and friends, JVG had to retract the statement.

That "league official" JVG claims told him about the fixing is most likely dead.

intersting point, it could happen...

I'm pretty sure you're kidding but I think alot of people will think you're serious because alot of people here actually think like that.

ESPN analysts are dismissing it because they know it's ridiculous. If the NBA was rigged we would have had alot more exciting series with big markets and stars involved than we have had.

this is indeed a joke, it's like on one cares, or no one wants to believe it

all of them said its no biggie on espn, why?

the one man that knows the truth, the one man WHO DARES TO SPEAK THE TRUTH, IS OUR MAN.....







Lord knows there will be even bigger bags under his eyes tonight, as the chancellor may have given him an ultimatum he couldn't refuse


FREE JVG !!!

Espn radio has been all over it

[Basileus777]

ESPN/ABC has a contract with the NBA. Stern doesn't control them, they just don't want to tarnish the product that brings them money. This is what happens when the main sports news network is also the main broadcaster for a sport. They won't report news that will hurt their financial interests.

[CITYOFANGELSX3]

Its possible. One huge conspiracy cover up.

I don't think it's so much that Stern controls any of that stuff. I think it's more that it's in the best interest of any kind of sports reporting network to not have a corrupt league. Sure it may be a hot story right now that could potentially get a lot of viewers, but if the league is really exposed here, and consequently loses fans, then everybody that profits off of the league suffers.

Agreed.

Stern doesn't control ESPN. however, it is not in their interest to publicize things that will lower the interest in the games. I say expect ESPN to go deeper into the story after the finals end.

[LakerFanMan]

ESPN has mentioned it like every 5 minutes since it came about. They're talking about it A LOT. I watched Sportscenter from 6-7 today and they talked about it more times then I can count.

[Sloanfeld]

Stern is Jewish, and isn't it said that they control the world?

[hsb]

Bill Plaschke, Mike Wilbon, and Jim Rome spoke on it without dismissing the allegation.

The people on ESPN haven't been that bad. It's a top story and they aren't ignoring it. I guess I'm seeing it completely differently. I haven't been watching the finals though, too predictable and I just lost interest, so I don't know the whole story.

Check this link on the Jim Rome show - http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/vid ... brand=null

Click "Jim Rome Burns on the Lakers," lol he even threw a jab at Phil Jackson.

[LakerFanMan]

BTW Stern is giving a live News conference on ESPW right now.

man im actually watching that instead of the pre game

i think this whole thing is really out-shadowing the nba finals

[Farm Raid]

I told yuo people would actually believe it. Most young people (and I'm only 27 myself) believe anything that goes against any official story.

Yea me too, how sad is that?

Oh and also, it's ESNW, not ESPW my mistake.

[hsb]

lol screw ESPN. They cut to Doc for no reason.

[Iggyemu]

ESPN analysts are dismissing it b/c without the NBA guys like Bucher and Greg Anthony would not be employed. Stern did get Dan Patrick to resign though so who knows.

But I think ESPN analysts know the NBA is their ticket. Guys like Jim Rome though gave this story a lot of run....so its not ESPN moreso than it is NBA analysts not wanting to lose their only form of income.

LOL game 7. Celts just getting jobbed and this game just started.
