I Suck AND Swallow!!

That's what Dick Bavetta did on Sunday night in game 5 of the NBA Finals. This guy was the absolute worst official in a crucial sports game ever! He stood under the basket and just watched as Celtic after Celtic got fouled and kept swallowing his whistle every time. The guy didn't make one decent call all night long...I wonder if it had anything to do with his name being brought up last week in the Tim Doneghy investigation. Interesting that the same thing he did on Sunday night he was accused of doing in 2002 and 2005 in crucial games. I'm not here to bash Bavetta, I've actually been a fan of his for some time. I just find it ironic that the same guy mentioned in game fixing/altering in the past few years didn't make one call in this game last night; the first game he's officiated after his name was mentioned. Maybe he didn't do anything back then, maybe he did, but bottom line is this guy completely blew it on Sunday. The NBA actually considered not giving him the game because of his being mentioned in the investigation but decided against it as that would have just led to more speculation...It's all good though as now the Celtics can win it in front of their own fans on Tuesday.

On another note...can someone tell Pau Gasol to shave. If you can't grow a beard don't try!!! Also, I'm gonna come out with a line of hair restraints/bands that girls can use to hold their hair out of their eyes and call them Sashas. They'll be pretty colors and maybe even get deals with major sports leagues so women can support their favorite teams. My hope is that Pau and Sasha head to the same barber and take care of business.

Bye!!
