"Hi, I'm Tim and I'm Addicted To Gambling"
This just in! Former NBA referee Tim Donaghy has officially fouled out!
With his 13 year career derailed by a severe gambling addiction, Donaghy took another step toward recovery moments ago by pleading guilty in U.S. federal court in Brooklyn on felony charges that he bet on games he officiated.
The disgraced father and husband faces up to 25 years in prison.
Donaghy has been cooperating with prosecutors who are building a case against other individuals whom he may have provided inside information to on games he officiated, the sources said.
No other NBA officials or players are suspected in the betting scandal stemming from Donaghy detailing which players were injured, who was refereeing which games and other insider information typically not initially known to the public
Part of his sentence will include psychiatric care for gambling. He is currently taking medication for depression.
