On Our Minds

• Mark Cuban.  Perhaps one of the most annoying “sports” figures right now…and I use sports figure lightly because he’s just a millionaire who happens to own a pro team.  And, he sure isn’t too much of a GM considering he traded away Devin Harris, one of the game’s best gaurds.  HOWEVER, he lives and breathes Mavs basketball and cares so much that he tries to take things into his own hands quite a bit just so his team can maybe have some success.  He is willing to spend the money to try to get the team better, not to mention he never misses a game.  Let’s just hope he doesn’t become the next Jerry Jones; that wouldn’t be good for anyone involved.

• ESPN does a lot of things to annoy me.  Starting to get up there on the top of the list is the fact that they only focus on five or six stories.  A prime example is on their daily headlines.  Did you know Manny signed a deal finally?  Oh wait, that happened days ago.  What the are telling me is that nothing else happened in sports since then.  People wonder why blogs are becoming so mainstream.  The reason is right in front of our eyes:  Blogs are the new places to find new while ESPN tells us more about Manny, A-Rod and TO.
