Say what you will, there are probably very few owners (or billionaires, for that matter) that would do this.
First the Dallas Morning News shared content with the Star-Telegram. Now they’ve announced that they’ll be sharing with the Ticket. Two points on that: first, in the announcement, the paper says, “SportsDay columnists and writers will appear exclusively on the Ticket …” Does that mean Tim Cowlishaw can no longer do stuff for ESPN? And, second, can the Ticket guys really help the DMN’s print product? The folks at the paper surely realize that the Ticket guys get most of their information from the paper, right? (I say this as a P1.)
Update: This from Tim Cowlishaw: “That’s just a radio thing, and the only radio I have been doing for the last year is on the Fan.”
A C-level FrontBurnervian passes along this news about Mark Cuban getting all up inside the SEC’s grill and says this sort of thing rarely happens. The deal is this: the SEC accused Cuban of insider trading. A judge threw out the case. That’s the end of it, right? Wrong. A federal judge has said that Cuban can have access to some internal e-mails and phone records from the SEC regarding its case against him. He’s looking to show that a member of the SEC’s was just out to get him for a film he produced about 9/11. Given the SEC’s recent track record, I wouldn’t bet against the billionaire.
1. Five years ago, “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott was shot and killed while onstage with his band Damageplan at Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio.
2. A senior at Arlington Heights High in Fort Worth has filed a federal discrimination complaint against her volleyball coach. Why? Because she is pregnant and he wouldn’t let her continue playing without permission from her doctor. Jerk.
3. And it’s once again the time of year when congressmen drop everything so they can gripe about the lack of a college football playoff system.
