It's a sad day, kids, but we knew someday this national joyride had to end: Mark Cuban has been been booted from "Dancing With The Stars." We know. We're sorry we have to be the ones to tell you.
All told, Cuban didn't do too bad for a guy who just had hip replacement surgery.
"There's always going to be a moment in all of our lives when you have to strip away who everybody thinks you are and stop pretending who you might want to be and just take a chance," Cuban. said afterward.
The "crowd" gave Cuban a standing ovation afterwards, except for Marie Osmond, who actually passed out during her dance routine. And now that Cuban is out, we promise never, ever to mention "Dancing With The Stars" again. (Until Michael Irvin tries out for the show next year.)

After looking at that picture, I'm willing to bet that Cube's wife voted for Wayne Newton
Good, I was worried he wouldn't be around to act like an ass for the Mavs opener.
Is that Barbara Eden?

Mark Cuban: aspiring Lifetime movie screenwriter.
Cuban is who we thought he was.
Next season on Dancing with the Stars, Jimmy Dolan and Isiah Thomas!
The only reason Michael Irvin would sign on for 'Dancing with the Stars' is if he got confused and thought it was a show about mushroom trips.
Most disappointed is Richard Jefferson, who has enjoying the deflected scrutiny.
Is there a picture out there where he doesn't have a dumbass look on his face?
Next season: Marv Albert, showtunes and cross-dressing aficionado.
Should MLB owners try to hold this against Cuban in his bid to buy the Cubs, I would like to remind them of the 1955 World Series, when Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley did the mashed potato on top of the home dugout to rally his men.
@swayzegoescrazy: we're doing the mamba, bitch.
Champ! Champ!
Why your early departure?
Did you Charleston when you should have Foxtrotted?
@swayzegoescrazy: @MrShiz: Marie Osmond? Bitch, I don't give a fuck about these Mormons.
You can read some of the juicy backstage details in the upcoming unauthorized biography, "If Dustin Diamond Were A Billionaire: The Mark Cuban Story".
I think that Barbaro is a lil peeved with you added the word prancing to his headline.
What does this have to do with the Sawx and/or the Pats? At this point, I thought Deadspin would be exclusively dedicated to the goings on of the only two things that mattah.
@UkraineNotWeak: and BC, you can't sleep on BC. (actually you can. thursday night in Blacksburg will end that silliness.)
Another dream dead. I hope your staggering wealth and poon-acquiring ability can soothe your wounded soul.
Off topic
Looking at the photo on the front page titled WHOOSH!, I must say the years have not been kind to Thomas Dolby. Not only was he blinded by science but his hair suffered too.
Why is there a picture of Screech with this post? Slater gets no love these days.
@Sarcastro:
Staggering Wealth & Poon-acquiring ability.
Department of Redundancy ruling? Yeah, they're the same.
must... fight urge... papelbon joke... so obvious... can't hold out... much longer
I don't think Michael Irvin will do Dancing with the Stars. He might do Skating with the Stars, however. He much prefers ice.
Shoulda been you, Marie.
@Gourmet Spud: Dustin Diamond may not be a billionaire, but I do believe he is now a porn star.

@Stay Away From Oprah: Don't forget Michael Irvin's affinity for skiing. Oh, and hookers. He also likes hookers.
@Adonis: True. So true.
(Sarcastro is alone, weeping into the throw pillow he bought at the dollar store.)
When Irvin is on, other contestants will pass out, but it will be due to the roofies he planted in their Dasani.
I'm sure he'll just buy the show and feature as a Mavericks halftime event.
Mark Cuban? meh...
read some of the comments in this article about Marie Osmond's fainting.

my favorite: I didn't know Mormons were into bondage.
"And now that Cuban is out, we promise never, ever to mention "Dancing With The Stars" again."
Until Helio Castroneves waltz's away with the title, and America's heart.
Yes, rich dork.
Cuban + green screen = ?
...Paging Dr. 289, Dr 289 to the photoshop room.
Unfortunately, Marie Osmond's surgery to insert hipness was a complete failure.
Things left on Mark Cuban's 'Things To Do Before I Die' list:
* Win some kind of championship, somewhere
He lost 30 pounds. Good for him.
