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.

Mark Cuban Leverages Lifting Of Blogger Ban Into Pissing Everyone Off
As many suspected would inevitably happen, the NBA had stepped in and ordered Mark Cuban to start allowing bloggers into the locker room. At last, those with Movable Type software can finally have the opportunity to see Devean George's penis. Cuban, of course, isn't taking this lying down. More »

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. More »

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 »

We know. You're like us. You've always wished professional sports owners could be more like Mark Cuban. He's cool! He's like a real fan! He has a blog! He's not afraid to pick a nonsensical fight with Midwesterners! But, alas, we should perhaps not be too surprised: He's as bad as the rest of them. Perhaps worse. More »

Only Devean George Understands The Power He Wields
Of all the comments in the wake of the Jason Kidd trade that was, oddly, blocked by Devean George of all people, our favorite might have been in the live blog of the Mavs' game against the Blazers: More »Mark Cuban got mad at us for writing this piece. We do not understand why, and we responded here. We still like him.

Repeating: Mark Cuban Has Fans
We're as stunned as you, folks, but somehow, even though he's clearly getting the worst ratings from the "judges," Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is corralling some sort of fanbase to keep him on the show. 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 »

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?
