Donaghy gets a beat down in prison

Looks like our boy Tim Donaghy isn't making out so well in the joint. The disgraced former NBA ref ended up on the wrong side of a beat down in prison, according to reports from the L.A. Daily News and a few other sources.
 
The injury report says Donaghy suffered a tear of the lateral maniscus when he was beaten with a "paint rolling stick" back in November. Some sources are saying the administer of said beat down was a member of the New York mob.
 
All I can say is that Donaghy must be disgusted at the length of time it took for this story to break.
 
"If that was me, I would have had the injury reported to the appropriate parties within minutes," he was overheard telling a shower mate at the Florida prison where he is currently serving out his sentence.
 
Donaghy is scheduled to be moved to a halfway house in the Tampa area next week but the government owns him until October.

Apparently the NY Mob did not benefit from his whistleblowing.

Can you clarify this quote? I thought it was him?

He must have an edge on what the officials like to do 
maybe he can gamble legally since he is no longer a working official

id bet he would win more than he loses. his experience would help

I asked this same question on your blog but....

"If that was me, I would have had the injury reported to the

appropriate parties within minutes," he was overheard telling a shower

mate at the Florida prison where he is currently serving out his

sentence.

Can you clarify this?  What does "if that was me" mean?  I thought it was him?

I think it's bullshit all the "i hope he gets corn-holed" comments. Prison Rape is NOT a joke. You dumb ***** don't even realize that it is this fear of Prison Rape that keeps the average white guy in line and terrified of defying the Government in any way. Wake up you sheep-le.

Prison rape is no laughing matter. Being probed by aliens is though. Or so I've heard...

Oh pulease guys! If any of us gamblers were friends with Donaghy ....damn, we'd be pretty set on our bank roll for the next say....10 years.

He's a rat? Spivince...you have not no idea what you are talking about. Who did he snitch on? Ur an idiot! All he did was alter games in which he waged big money on. if it was you or I...and our 100,000 bank roll depending on 1 game...damn I am blowing the whistle on nearly every call.

I wouldn't call a 22 year old ex Columbia University student serving 22 MONTHS for Hacking, "the n.y. mob" They where working on the prison 'paint' detail, got into a un-related argument, the youngster took the stick to him, and did minor physical damage of any find...National Enquire drama, as far as being a 'rat' who did he testify against???

This whole scenerio was about himself, and himself alone. NY MOB..my ass

by the way..THIS incident happened 8 months ago, with Donaghy punching his alleged attacker "OUT" cold.. When stories are 'leaked' to the media, this is the kind of bullshit that is captioned....

Good write-up Jon_ Thx for bringing this forward to Covers.com readers, I hope this additional info brings light, to an already distorted press release

Thanks for the added info sports_Net. All the releases and stories I had read were short on details and you know how these things can spiral. Can you tell us where you heard your info from?

I know I am more anxious to hear more details of what Donaghy told the FBI after he cut his deal, as I'm sure we all are. Not sure how much we can trust from his testimony anyway, but still would be nice to get the whole story from authorities.
