PFT: Mark Cuban unhappy about Cowboys' playoff schedule

[Mike_45]

Not tellin'

Cuban is a ratard.

By the way goliadmike, I am in love with that cheerleader. What is her name?

 

[TellerMorrow34]

He's bent out of shape over this? We're not talking about an NBA Finals game here. We're talking about the Mavs playing in a regular season game while the NFL Playoffs are going on.

There isn't anything there for him to cry about.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

Totally lost me right there. Thanks for not only being stupid for complaining about a Playoff game being scheduled at the same time as a nigh on meaningless regular season NBA game but also making a snide reference to your country and mine.

To hell with you, Cuban. Why don't you turn into the French and beat a hasty retreat?

I agree, I soon as he started with that crap, any minimal thoughts I had of feeling sorry for him went out the window.

News Break! These same "ugly americans" are the sole reason you are even remotely relevent.

 

[juck]

Ironically if Cuban owned the Cowboys we would have at least won a playoff game in the last decade,lol.

What Cuban doesn't understand is simply this the Mavs play a +60 Game Schedule, like the Rangers plays a +165 Game Schedule, which if you miss a few games oh well there are plenty more to watch. The Cowboys play a 16 Game Schedule which is 1/4 of the NBA Season, so missing a few Games is a lot in Football and with the Schedule being shorter the fans get a little more excited for each and every game. This should be Common Sense.

Seriously Mark, how dilsional are you!?

Mark Cuban is upset with the NFL – and its television partners – for scheduling Saturday's Cowboys playoff game in direct competition with the Mavericks' home game against Utah.

The Cowboys will play Philadelphia at 7 p.m. in Arlington. The Mavericks play the Jazz at 7:30 p.m.

"I know we're [small potatoes] compared to the NFL, but seriously, the NFL is turning into the ugly American when it comes to sports leagues," Cuban said before Tuesday's game against Detroit.

"They don't [care] about anybody but themselves. There's not much I can do, obviously, in terms of the schedule."

The Mavericks play Friday night at San Antonio, which eliminates the possibility of moving Saturday's game up earlier in the day.

Cuban made it clear that he has no beef with the Cowboys or owner Jerry Jones.

"It's not a Jerry Jones issue – Jerry's great," Cuban said. "But at some point in time, that will catch up to [the NFL] and hurt them in a big way."

Cuban said the NFL has never shown any interest in developing a scheduling cooperative with the NBA or the NHL and perhaps having designated days for each league to avoid overlapping.

The Mavericks have sold out all but a couple of hundred tickets for the Utah game, meaning their sellout streak (334 games) will stay alive. But Cuban expects to have a large number of no-shows because of the Cowboys' game starting 30 minutes before the Mavericks' game.

Things like this, he said, infuriate owners in other leagues.

"The owners in the NBA aren't the only ones taking notes," Cuban said. "There's a balance between all the leagues, and it's going to bite them in the end."

=========

Your game's all but sold out. Stop *** crying, ya D-bag!

 

[Maikeru-sama]

Yeah, I heard him whining about it on Irvin's show a while ago.

Sorry Mark, Dallas is a "Cowboys" town, always has been always will be.

Sometimes, I really, REALLY wish the world had never heard of Broadcast.com.

 

[Cajuncowboy]

Hey Mark!

Boo Freakin' Hoo.

Grow a pair!

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Another reason to love the NFL.

 

[guag]

I don't see how it's the NFL's responsibility to make sure they don't schedule their playoff games at the same time as other major sports games. The NFL, NBA, NHL, etc. aren't business partners, they're competitors. Quit your whining Cuban (if that IS your real name... heh).

He's just jealous that he doesn't own an NFL team. I bet he'd kill to own the Dallas Cowboys. Let's just hope he doesn't actually come through with that though.

 

[DFWJC]

Cuban can be goofy for sure. But I am a Mavs fan and will be giving up my Saturday night Mavs/Jazz tickets so I can watch the Boys....which was obviously a no-brainer.

I give them credit for having a 334 game sell-out streak going in this economy.

 

[Hostile]

The more I read about this the more I want to tell him to his face to shut the hell up.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Cuban hates anything that takes attention from himself. He's the ultimate tool.

true but you would be too if you sold your company for 5 billion like he did

 

[Tusan_Homichi]

I actually really like Cuban. I think he's a great owner and one of the best ones in sports. His anger is really misplaced on this though.

it is but he has served his purpose, people are talking about him and his team which is what he really wanted

I really wouldn't.
