Clippers, Republicans… One of a kind?
Recently, I ragged on the Republican Party. So in the spirit of equal time, I ought to give the Democrats their due. But I’m skipping the Democrats’ turn just this one time.
Besides, if you will recall, I did do a piece on the “Left Leaning Lemurs,” to which I got plenty of Democratic hazing. So in a “snake draft” approach, it is theoretically fair of me to go after the Republicans for the second time in a row, no?
So what’s the issue now? Healthcare? Welfare? Financial Reform?
Nah. I’m going in a more general direction. Much like my last piece on the Republicans, I’m more interested in the long-term interests of the Republican Party. What were they before? What are they now? What will they be?

Labor Rules in the NFL (and the NBA)
For those of you who don’t read Mark Cuban’s blog, you need to get on board, because the man knows what he is talking about.
The billionaire is most known for his exploits as the owner of the Dallas Mavericks. While owning a professional basketball team alone makes him an expert on media and entertainment, he happens to be much more than a basketball owner. Cuban is the chairman of HDNet, and was the founder of Broadcast.com.
Thus, when the man speaks about the state of media, people should listen…or read in this case. Recently, on his blog, Cuban tried to enlighten sports fans, as well media executives, on the prevailing issues of both the broadcast industry and sports entertainment.
