La La Vazquez Says Dallas Fans Have Racist Family Values
So the Dallas-Denver brouhaha is not going away. La La Vazquez is still talking about her long night in Big D, only the language is getting much more colorful. She says fans were throwing around words like "bastard" and "fuck" and that one that even I won't spell without asterisks. More » -

It's the Ref-Baiting Mark Cuban Doll, with military stompin' boots and, apparently, kung-fu grip.

SHOTY First Round: Mark Cuban Vs. Matt Leinart
It's the day after Thanksgiving! If you have any good sense, you're lying on the floor right now, surrounded by pieces of bird skin, dealing with a nog-throbbing brain and complete with a homicide-scene outline traced with pie crust. Congratulations on getting to this point. You've earned it. Now, how about some SHOTY voting?
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. A look at the nominees' 2008 resumes:

The Mark Cuban Scandal For Dummies (Like Us)
"Rule no 1 of any smart investor is don't get attached." — Mark Cuban
A lot of information about the Mark Cuban situation is pouring in now, and there will be plenty of time for speculation, recriminations and schadenfreude. Plus, Cuban has just come out on his blog and said he will fight the charges. But right now let's just figure out what he did, why he did it, and why it's bad. Just the facts, as we know them: More »

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.

Bloggers Vs. Beefy Security Guards: WHO WILL WIN?
As much as we might enjoy the mental image of the Dallas Morning News' Tim McMahon, the Los Angeles Times' Andrew Kamenetzky and True Hoop's Henry Abbott pulling the old crouch-and-shove on a security guard and high-stepping it into the locker room, frantically typing while running around ina circle around a naked Dirk Nowitzki, their actual experience during the Lakers' win over the Mavericks last night was less cinematic. They just weren't let in the Mavericks' locker room, because they use different software than Sam Smith.

Will Cuban Ban The Almighty ESPN?
The Dallas Mavericks have a huge game tonight with the Los Angeles Lakers, and, whether Mark Cuban lets any bloggers in or not, we'll certainly be reading all about it on about 1,000 blogs. (OK, maybe 100.) Throwing down his gauntlet, Henry Abbott from ESPN's True Hoop is making the trip. He seems to know that he's not going to have locker room access, which means we should be in for a fascinating post tomorrow, presuming Henry's willing to push it. Will he? Is it worth it? More » -

It's Almost As If Owners Are Just Trying To Steal Money
It's easy to forget, when we're all caught up in the fun of the postseason and what-not, that every moment we find ourselves excited about it is designed primarily — almost solely — on putting more money in owners' pockets. You'd think they wouldn't have to fudge the rules to make more money. But they do. More »

You Will Believe A Man Can Fly
We are no experts on the art of the dance, but from most accounts, for a guy with a replaced hip, Mark Cuban did all right on "Dancing With The Stars" last evening. But we have absolutely no idea how he got this high in the air. It kind of freaks us out a little bit; DeSagana Diop is seven feet tall, and he's never been that far up there. Can Cuban dunk?
