    One of the great sports journalism moments:

    I've never fully understood why point-shaving was wrong. Throwing the game? Yes. But winning the game by a lesser score? Tough shit. Don't gamble then.

    It's the "slippery slope" of getting in bed with gamblers, I'd imagine. Maybe they want you to only shave points this time, but what about that game next week where you're only favored by one?
