One Guy, Pleading Guilty, Blah Blah

If you're all excited — or even, say, a-twitter — about Tim Donaghy's impending guilty plea in federal court today to those whole charges of game fixing, well, settle down there, Paco.

As The Sporting News' — yes, it's still around! — Sean Deveney points out, nothing much is going to happen today. Donaghy's going to walk up to a judge here in Brooklyn, say, "I plead guilty" and then he's going to be escorted out of the room. That's the extent of it.

Eventually we'll figure out what all went down, but as for Donaghy admitting he's guilty, well, David Stern already crucified him in the court of public opinion anyway. We're not sure how much jail time he's gonna serve, but no one really cares about that; we just want to know which games he was fixing, and if he fixed them for our bets, or against them.
