PFT: Mark Cuban unhappy about Cowboys' playoff schedule

[robjgrif]

I'm sure some of the Mav players hate they can't go to the Cowboys game.

Maybe they should call in sick... Hint, hint.

Who's Mark Cuban?

[/endoftopic]

A failed wannabe film maker and hyper-active .com billionaire that owns an underachieving basketball team.

 

[TRUTH87]

NBA? man i havent even watched a single game yet this season. i'll start watching sum in playoff time, n juss maybe....

i wus so into my bulls those jordan years. didnt miss a game....

Cuban's anger is misplaced.

The networks are the ones who choose when these wild card games play, not the league.

He should write a letter to NBC, not Goodell.

Incorrect.

Cuban must be joking

So let me get this straight.

1) This is only the 3rd NFL playoff game that Dallas is hosting since the 1998 season, having lost the previous two.

2) The Cowboys are smoking hot right now, and appear to be on the verge of going deep in the playoffs.

3) A home playoff game for the Cowboys is a win for the DFW area in general. People spend money to visit the city for the playoff game, occupy hotels, pay hotel and sales taxes, which ultimately support the sports teams and their venues.

4) This buffoon is crying about the game time???

As far as I'm concerned, he owes the city, Jerry, and the Cowboys an apology. But then again, Cuban has a penchant for talking out of his ***.

Go Lakers

Right on

I don't get into basketball until football season is over anyway.

Just another cry for attention from him. So sad...I wish his mother would of gave him some attention when he was young.

Lol at Cuban thinking Dallas fans care about the mavs. Dallas is cowboy country and know team in that area is going to take the spotlight from them. Cuban should know where he stands on the foodchain among Dallas area sports, a very distant 2nd.

Stars>Mavs

Edit: Desperado's>Mavs

 

[DaBoys4Life]

it's a regular season game out of 82 suck it up Cuban.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Hey Cuban, shut the hell up.


The NFL Playoffs >>>> NBA regular season games


I do have to give you credit Cuban, you accepted that fact that you are just a pissant compared to the NFL. At least you know your role.

 

[SaltwaterServr]

NFL Draft > NBA Games

Suck it Cuban. When the Mavericks have multiple forums with over 20,000 unique members each from all over the world, I'll almost try to care.

Funny... Cuban didn't have any problem with asking Jerry Jones to co-host the 2010 NBA All Star Game in February at Cowboys Stadium.

 

[RoboQB]

Cuban bumped his head when that wrestler put him through a table a few weeks ago. Still feeling the effects

 

[DandyDon1722]

He's had a week to get together with the league and the Jazz to move the start time up 3 hours. Sports teams do that all the time on special conflicting occasions. And you know who would like it the most...the players.

 

[dbair1967]

NFL Draft > NBA Games

Suck it Cuban. When the Mavericks have multiple forums with over 20,000 unique members each from all over the world, I'll almost try to care.

NFL preseason >>> NBA games

Shows about the NFL >>> NBA games

NFL preseason >>> NBA games

Lol!! Cuban's just upset because now he can't watch the Cowboys game

 

[Doomsday101]

Cuban get a life, what the NBA has 80 something game within a season and you are upset that Cowboys and Mavs play on the same night? Boo hoo, you spoiled little brat

 

[gbrittain]

Ummm...you might want to rethink that last line

Ha LOL. Yeah. Baseball and Basketball!!!:laugh1:

Most people in Dallas are thrilled that the Cowboys are hosting a playoff game on Saturday night.

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is not like most people.

Tim MacMahon of ESPNDallas.com reports that Cuban is angry with the NFL for scheduling the Cowboys' game against the Eagles for Saturday night, when the Mavericks are also hosting the Utah Jazz.

According to Cuban, it's just another example of the big, bad NFL doing whatever it wants and not much caring about how its actions affect anyone else.

"I know we're just little pissants compared to the NFL, but seriously, the NFL is turning into the ugly American when it comes to sports leagues," Cuban said. "They don't give a crap about anybody but themselves."

Cuban, who got into the football business this year with the UFL, said he thinks the NFL should view itself as a partner with the NBA and other sports leagues, and should treat its partners with respect.

"There's a balance between all the leagues," Cuban said. "They deal with similar issues. They deal with issues with copyright, antitrust, [Federal Communications Commission], all kinds of things. And it's going to bite them in the *** one day."

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello declined to respond. Probably because he figured it wouldn't be diplomatic to say, "If Cuban thinks we're going to alter our playoff schedule for one pissant regular-season NBA game, he's crazy."

Being a lifelong Lakers fan, this cracks me up!

Cuban is another one of those dinks that got lucky in one thing and made a pile and thinks that qualifies them to actually be taken seriously.
