  • I got the feeling ...

    ... King, that you sort of gave up on the "Q" part of this Q and A., about three minutes in.

    Good choice. ;-)

  • Though maybe I thought ...

    ... the Qs trailed off because someone is missing a somewhere in the html ...

  • ... shakes head in misery ...

    ... missing a bracket slash b end-bracket, close off the boldface. Just maybe fix it and delete my three posts. ;-)

  • Plea from a Cubs fan

    Please, oh please, buy the Cubs, Mark Cuban.

  • Exactly why should we listen to Mark Cuban?

    This guy isn't Warren Buffett, who makes many more right moves than wrong.

    I'm not saying he's a dummy, but exactly what is his track record? He created and sold a small software company during a software boom, he hit the lottery during the Internet boom, and cashed out. His "creative" projects generally haven't been profitable. He has lots of neat ideas for the Mavs, but it seems to basically be a toy, not profit oriented.

  • beer and nachos in the cheap seats

    So he has beer and nachos in the ever cheapening cheap seats to prove that the real fans would enjoy the experience? Or that newer fans in the making that don't really care enjoy the experience?

  • care YET

    I meant to ask "newer fans that don't really care yet."

  • This guy...

    Mark Cuban is the Quentin Tarantino of sports. It's clear he's as empty-headed as any of the "stuffed shirt" owners he tries to distinguish himself from.

  • King tackles a big topic

    Always fun to look into the future.

    What I'm most worried about in the next couple decades of America sports: the futility of small market baseball teams. Regardless of whether I follow my small market team on podcasts or blogs or webfeeds or on TV or radio or newspaper - it's not going to be good news. And it's only going to get worse.

  • Mark Cuban's hip

    Apparently, American society today is such that being a billionaire with a hip replacement makes you an orthopedic specialist, without all that screwing around in med school. They aren't asking my 94 year old uncle to talk about *his* hip replacement, and to judge by this interview, my uncle is a lot more interesting.
