"Donaghy had plenty to say in Brooklyn Federal Court this week, pleading guilty to two gambling-related charges and telling a judge he was paid $30,000 to pass inside information on professional basketball games to his bookie buddies.
He admitted he even made picks in games he was assigned to referee, using special codes to communicate with cronies James Battista, 42, and Thomas Martino, 41."

"Donaghy admitted to federal officials that he often supplied inside information to gamblers, alerting them to what referees were working particular games. He said he was aware how some referees interacted with certain players."
