Cool. Just wish he’d carve a Mavs’ logo in his scalp once in a while.
Got into a teensy tiny debate last night/this morning over the Olympics.
My friend – like NBC Sports president Dick Ebersol – says there’s nothing like wrapping yourself in the flag and rooting for try-hard athletes who make proud, passionate sacrifices to represent their country. She gets all goose-bumpy and inspired watching the Olympics, the purest sports left on our planet.
I – like Mavs’ owner Mark Cuban — say the event has deteriorated into nothing more than a giant transparent business, neatly packaged and crammed down our throats as patriotism. I get nauseated at NBC and corporate sponsors like McDonald’s incessantly dictating to us who the “heroes” are, then marketing and exploiting them for profit.
So, what do you say? — Richie Whitt
