Comments on: Hank To N.L.: Grow-Up & Join The 21st Century http://waswatching.com/2008/06/16/hank-to-nl-grow-up-join-the-21st-century/ Holy Cow! We never take cannoli from a huckleberry. Fri, 25 May 2012 14:43:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: MJ http://waswatching.com/2008/06/16/hank-to-nl-grow-up-join-the-21st-century/comment-page-1/#comment-33196 MJ Tue, 17 Jun 2008 12:50:54 +0000 http://waswatching.com/?p=5246#comment-33196 ...fans do like that because fans want their owner to be the #1 fan... ---------------------------------- I'm not sure I agree. I don't think all fans like it, nor do I think that Hank and Cuban can necessarily be put in the same category. Cuban is a hyperactive guy but most of his outbursts seem to be constructive criticisms of the game. He pushed for a more innovative approach to statistical analysis in basketball and he wanted to make sure that officiating in the NBA had a level of transparency that -- as we're finding out now with the Donaghy scandal -- was above reproach. I don't see the Hank/Cuban connection at all, to be honest with you.

But when you actually look at it all he's doing is being a visible owner. And fans do like that because fans want their owner to be the #1 fan. Hence why Mavs fans like Cuban, Dallas fans like Jones, etc.

I something think that hank says things without thinking because i just dont know what the hell is wrong with him just because it worked for your dad. i understand you want to win no matter what and you have to take care of your guys but come on you cant question the one thing that made this sport what it is now... think hank think
