Voting will remain open until the end of the first round ... so let's go with the matchup the seedings say will be the closest in the first round. It's No. 8 seed Mark Cuban vs. No. 9 Matt Leinart.

Brian Cuban Would Like You To Know That His Brother Is Not Martha Stewart

Thanks for attempting to clear that up Brian, but I always thought it was obvious by the way Mark dresses. Black pullovers in the spring? Sheesh. Anyway, Brian Cuban, Dallas attorney and brother of the mercurial Mark Cuban, is firing back on his own blog at meanies who have been emailing him with various taunts aimed at his brother regarding those recent insider trading allegations.

Mark Cuban Wants You to Know: "Cellphone Cameras Are Not Your Friends."

Cuban went after defenseless cellphone cameras in the wake of Josh Howard's performance during the National Anthem before Allen Iverson's flag-football game. By the way, how is Allen Iverson's flag-football game not televised and how are all the players not mic'ed up? Couldn't this be a television gold mine? Anyway, Cuban made his anti-cellphone camera comments to the Dallas Morning-News. More »

Morning Blogdome: Take A Seat, Cubes

• He Feels So Used ... Mark Cuban is reportedly out of the bidding to purchase the Chicago Cubs, with Tom Ricketts remaining as the leading contender, according to Chi-ball Sports. "It is a believed by these sources that Zell has used Cuban all along to increase the bidding. The orchestration could have gone as far as inviting Cuban to sit next to Sam Zell’s right-hand man Gerry Spector at a Cubs game in the Tribune seats. A source is quoted as saying “If Mark Cuban didn’t exist, Sam Zell would have made someone like him up, he was a dream come true. Cuban is not only out of it, he was never in it.” [Chi-ball] More »

For the Cubbies, Mark Cuban Is Ready to Put a Billion Where His Mouth Is

Mark Cuban has never shied away from spending money. Take for instance, his recent arbitration case against former Dallas Mavs coach Don Nelson. Cubes lost out on $6.3 million but insisted that he was pleased with the outcome because the truth about Nelson apparently came out during the proceedings. That, friends, is some freakin' expensive truth right there. More »

As If The Mavericks Don't Have Enough Problems

From the Dallas hub of the Department of Lunatics comes this head-scratching lawsuit courtesy of the one and only Jonathan Lee Riches, a man serving time in a federal penitentiary in South Carolnia for wire fraud, but who chooses to pass his time by exercising his right to file ridiculous lawsuits against as many celebrities as possible. So far, Riches has unsuccessfully sued Bill Belichick, Michael Vick, George W. Bush, Martha Stewart, Perez Hilton and many others. Most of his suits have been dismissed by trial judges for being "frivolous" and "farcical." More »

Cuban Says Pros Before Joes, Brah

Mark Cuban let loose a expectedly jaundiced reaction to David Stern's mandate to allow bloggers into the Maverick's locker room, choosing the preferred broad brush of bloggers as the snarking "internet equivalent of Talk Soup or VH1's 'Best ..... ' series." It's problematic that he frames the separation as unpaid-hacks-versus-paid-professionals, since, of course, it was a paid newspaper writer/blogger who prompted the ban in the first place.
