Mark Cuban Needs A Hug

When their teams are eliminated from the postseason, most owners:

a: Take out an ad in the newspaper congratulating their team. b: Fire the coach. c: Go home and sleep with their 22-year-old wives. d: Don't really notice at all.

So you gotta love Mark Cuban. Our favorite muscled muppet blogs about the end of the Dallas Mavericks' season. It's always funny when the fiery lug gets all sentimental on us, so we wanted to point out some particularly fine tear-jerkers:

—It hurts. It hurts that night. You can t sleep. It hurts the next day. The only feeling that can I compare it to is the one you get breaking up with a girlfriend. Your emotions are tied up for 8 months in the season and when it s over. It hurts. —I have to tell you, that as owner of the Dallas Mavericks, win or lose, I started every game, with my hand over my heart, grateful for the opportunity to live in this great country and incredibly proud of every single person representing the Mavs on that court.

To show how much he loves every Maverick on the floor, expect Cuban to trade them all in the offseason.
