9 after a blowout win at KC.The bottom six of Detroit, Kansas City, Oakland, Tampa Bay, St. Louis and Cleveland have now remained the same for five straight weeks, but did get a shakeup in the order. Oakland leapfrogged Detroit, Tampa and Kansas City to jump to No 27, while Cleveland and St Louis swapped spots at the bottom, and the Rams grab the No. 32 spot for the ninth time this season.The movement in the ranks was massive this week, as 26 of the 32 NFL teams moved at least one spot in the ranks this week. 16 is their lowest of the season.The disagreements among the rankers are back, and concentrated in the upper half of the rankings. There were five disagreements of at least eight spots in their ranks, but for the second straight week none that reached a double digit disagreement between two of the contributors.Tennessee Titans (9) – Smokey 8, Mickey / Walker 17Dallas Cowboys (8) – Jacob 7, Smokey 15Baltimore Ravens (8) - Gideon 8, Mickey 16Jacksonville Jaguars (8) – Smokey 10, Walker 18Washington Redskins (8) – Jacob 21, Smokey 29On the divisional side, the AFC South remains at the top with an average score of 12.60. The NFC East took second place after the big fall from the AFC North, coming in with an average score of 14.25. The bottom division remains the same for the 11th consecutive week and might just stay that way for the rest of the year. The NFC West checks in with a 21.55 average score, its highest since Week 3, but still miles behind second to last place NFC South, coming in with a score of 17.85.As a reminder, you can check out all the backup data here. As always, last week’s ranks are in parentheses. Without further ado, onto the rankings.. What if Tim Donaghy is right David Stern has been masterful in guiding the NBA.He iseloquent, funny, personable, and tough.Stern, as much as any player,executive, or owner, must get credit for the amazing success of the NBA. 
I wonder if he won't be the cause of a serious down-turn now. Donaghy is a gambler and convicted felon.Yet, he was hired by the NBA. Donaghy may have a grudge against former workmates and an employer that he feels turned their back on him.Yet, his story makes sense. This has been the 500-pound purple gorilla in the room long enough; it's time for the NBA and David Stern specifically to address these accusations head-on.

Is it possible that Charles Barkley gave Donaghy aGatorade shower after an on-court disputeSure, who cares. Everything else that Donaghy says must be taken seriously by David Stern.This has the feel of a Pandora's Box about to bust open! The NBA has long had its share ofconspiracy theories.How did the Knicks get the first pick that landed them EwingNeed a team to succeed in Texas Let's send Duncan their way.Remember howinfuriated Pat Riley was when his signing of Juwan Howard was rebuffedRiles alleged back then that the league wanted Howard in Washington, not Miami. It was laughable at the time, but now you have to wonder, was Pat right Does the NBAmaneuver players like chess piecesDo the referees play favoritesIs the NBA more entertainment than actual competition (an accusation made by Donaghy) As an NBA fan, I hope these questions are answered.I hope Stern attacks these accusations head-on.It seems, however, that the NBA headquarters is taking the "turn the other way and hope it goes away" approach. How well did that work for Major League Baseball Everyone laughed when Jose Canseco wrote Juiced.The denials and excommunication of Canseco was immediate.Turns out that Jose was right What if Tim Donaghy is right.
