NBA Referee-Baiting Season Will Soon Be Upon Us

by Ron Sen, MD

Every cloud has a silver lining, and the Tim Donaghy officiating scandal present not exception but opportunity. Why should we settle for 'get an eye exam, ref' or '350 zebras must die so that one lion may live. No way, Jose, or Violet, or whatever. Yes, the leatherlungs of the loges will have a veritable cornucopia of new material.

• "Nice ride, dude. Just win the lottery or been talking to Tim?"
• "Next road trip to Marion and Leavenworth, stripes?"
• "How's THE FAMILY?"
• "Got any first class tickets for sale?"
• "Thought you guys were wearing orange jumpsuits this season."
• "Who's paying YOUR salary today, chump?"
• "Are you refereeing Penn State or State pen next week?"
• "MY kid's college education is riding on this game, buster."
• "Hey GILLETTE, stop shaving the points."
• "How much does it cost to get a fairly officiated game?"
• "You oughta be able to afford LASIK, you stiff."
• "Who should we bet on, you jerk?"
• "50 grand a foul! 50 grand a foul!"
• "Going once, going twice, going three times. Sold to the man in the striped jersey."
