Luck’s not something you can mention in the presence of self-made men…

Everything is mental in life. The butt was made to lug the mind around….

Poker… I hardly even know her!…

All I know is, if the cards ever break even — I’m screwed….

The guy who invented gambling was bright, but the guy who invented the chip was a genius….

A person should gamble every day, because think of how bad it would be to walk around being lucky and not know it….

The trouble part for the NBA is that, even without Donaghy in the picture, the refereeing has been indefensible for years. I would like to see how many times one team has enjoyed a 10+ free-throw advantage in a game.

Also, find someone willing to argue that the Lakers-Sacto series (was it 06?) mentioned in Donaghy’s letter was on the up and up. Seriously, that would be one helluva podcast.

The best case scenario is that Donaghy is lying and the problem is a near-total lack of competence from the whistle-blowers.

Soccer’s had it’s share of gambling problems lately as well. Juve got smacked with match fixing and I believe Porto - I can’t find the link just now - may be barred from next year’s Champion’s League.
