Photog Thank you, yes friends can debate the issues without going over the line .I and many others still value what you bring to the board and many here respect your opinions and I ,for one, is included in that lot. If the Fertatta's (billionaires also)wanted a network ,I'm sure that they would have had one already. If Cuban wants a network specifically for MMA then he will have it. However, at present, it appears he wants a UFC type situation. The article below outlines his desire to own the Cubs.

NBA Owner Interested If Cubs For Sale
Dallas Mavericks Owner Says He'd Make A Pitch For Team If It Went On The Market

(CBS) CHICAGO The Cubs need all the help they can get these days and one well-known sports figure is talking about the potential of buying the team.
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban says he'd make a pitch for the team if it went on the market.
CBS 2's Kristyn Hartman reports one e-mail response generated a lot of talk and led to a picture of Cuban on the back page of the Chicago Sun Times with the headline "Eyeing the Cubs."
The Cubs' abysmal game play and speculation in the last year the team could go on the block prompted Chicago newspaper columnist Jay Mariotti to fire off an e-mail to the Dallas Mavericks owner and billionaire.
He asked Cuban if he'd be interested in Cubs ownership and reported Cuban very quickly responded that he might be.
Mariotti says Cuban wrote "if they produce a book, I certainly would take a look at it."
On the Cubs and Wrigley Field, he apparently told Mariotti, "I've been there a bunch of times and had a blast every time. It's attractive because (the Cubs) are an institution in Chicago."
Cuban took time to respond even as his Dallas Mavericks work their way toward the NBA finals.
"I think he's done a really good job especially with the Dallas Mavericks. You remember how awful they were. So maybe he can turn it around here," said Cubs fan Matthew Levi.
According to Mariotti, Cuban has gotten e-mail from Cubs fans asking him to buy the team.
