Mark Cuban Man Crush

Mark Cuban is reportedly going to star on next season’s Dancing With The Stars according to a Sports Illustrated story. This is another in a long list of brilliant moves by the billionaire.
While other owners were struggling with overpaying crappy players, Cuban was finding ways around the salary cap: including making the locker room for his Mavs better than any other teams, and giving players personal DVD players back when that was a big deal. And a while back when Cuban was reported to have interest in buying the Pittsburgh Penguins, I almost shit myself because having a shrewd business man like him involved in the NHL can only lead to good things.
So I finally have to ask myself why I have such a man crush on Cuban. And the reason is clear: He is exactly how I would be if I were an owner! Cuban is a fan. Yes it’s a little annoying how buddy buddy he is with players some times, and one time he did a pregame interview on the elliptical machine and I almost pissed myself (apparently I have very bad control over my body) because it was so funny. But with all his faults, wouldn't you rather have an owner who cares instead of someone who treats it like a tax write off?
Cuban is passionate about everything he does: the Mavs, HD TV, first amendment rights, and hitting on NBA dancers (legit story: I know someone who was on the Piston’s B dance team, made up of highschool girls from the area, and he was openly hitting on her and her teammates a lot…great guy). He is like a normal guy who struck it rich and is living the dream.
It wont make me watch Dancing With The Stars because even I have limits to the shitty reality TV I’ll watch, but I respect that he’s doing it. I hope he wins, hell, he can’t do worse than that shitty show The Benefactor a few years back.
Long Story Short: Cuban rules and I wish I were him.
