Watched the Netflix Documentary on Tim Donaghy, NBA ref who was busted for gambling. It is set "as told by Tim Donaghy" with Tim and his co conspirators plugging that there was a much grander conspiracy involving the NBA and David Stern's promotion of the game. There is a lot of discussion of Ref's calling games based on person rapport with coaches and players.
Ref's were instructed by the league to let fouls by stars go and to push playoff series to seven games. These were done to grow the game and generate revenue. People paid money to see the star players, not the league journeymen. Long playoff series generated more excitement and publicity as well as more money for owners.
Bettman was #3 in the NBA management during those years.
Reminded me of a discussion a few month back.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

I thought Wednesday was quite OK. Used to love the Addams Family when I was a kid, and I thought they managed to make her kooky enough.
Bit surprised by their choice for Gomez, but looking at the old cartoons, he's probably the best fit of all the Gomezes we've seen, yet I grew up with the TV series, so to me it felt a bit weird. It also feels weird that Wednesday is older than Pugsley. In the television series he was older than her.
I didn't mind it though, and would watch a second season if they make one.
