Latest revelations in the news re: the NBA scandal

Some media coverage of HBO's "Real Sports" segment of the NBA betting scandal, featuring Bryant Gumbel's interview with Jimmy Battista, follows below.  I have only linked to what I considered the three most comprehensive pieces, though dozens of sites offered their own takes on the revelations.  Obviously, as a result of this past year's research, I am in a position to knock down or confirm many of the (often ridiculous and irresponsible) rumors surrounding the scandal that appear in the the current news cycle.  Whatever speculation remains following the publication of Gaming the Game: The Inside Story of the NBA Betting Scandal and the Gambler Who Made It All Happen will be addressed at that time.

HBO's Real Sports on the NBA Scandal

This month's episode (#152, technically) of HBO's impressive "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel" program briefly examines the NBA betting scandal by interviewing the architect of the scheme, James "Baba" Battista.  Battista, the primary subject of my forthcoming book, Gaming the Game: The Inside Story of the NBA Betting Scandal and the Gambler Who Made It All Happen, speaks publicly about his role in the conspiracy for the first time.  The initial air date was 11/24 at 10p, though the show airs numerous times throughout the next few weeks.
