The Roundup: Have a Great Weekend

(Sorry for no Foul Ball today. I have to take care of some personnel business(IE School). So for today I'll give you a quick Roundup post.)

Tim Donaghy Is Still a Scumbag: The disgraced former NBA referee who spent time in prison for influencing NBA games is still a scumbag. Reportedly Donaghy left threatening voice mails to his book publisher looking for more money.
"We've had to lock our office doors and get escorted to our cars," said Shawna Vercher, chief executive of VTi, which in December published Donaghy's blockbuster book, "Personal Foul: A First-Person Account of the Scandal That Rocked the NBA."

Vercher said that Donaghy has been contacting company employees and book vendors with "increasingly irate and threatening calls," demanding money for his book.

"One thing he said in particular is that, 'You know I have associates in the Gambino crime family and they are active in this part of the state,' " Vercher said. "This stuff has gotten really ugly, really quickly."

Of course Donaghy is denying these reports, but really why should we believe this guy? This guy lied about everything. Why wouldn't he be lying right now? I don't know if any of this is true or false, but for the moment I believe the publishing company.

Introducing ESPN Sacramento: ESPN has recently began specialized websites for individual cities. There are ESPN's Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas, and New York. Well Sactown Royalty has learned that ESPN will soon launch ESPNSacto.com. Take a sneak peak of the new website below.


Do You Enjoy Penis?: The ABC affiliate in New Orleans has some great news anchors. While talking about a story that enhances the women's G-Spot, one of the news anchors asks an hilariously inappropriate follow up question. Listen and watch for yourself.



I could see a sexual harassment lawsuit coming out of this.

Now enjoy George Carlin's Baseball vs. Football routine and have a great weekend.
