  4. I give Cuban respect. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    The same respect I'd give someone who got rich by playing the lottery.

    Come on. The guy got lucky -- that's it, that's all, baby goes to sleep. He's rich due to artificial market inflation combined with "right place, right time". He doesn't have any particular genius or insight to be interested in, just money he stumbled into. I'm about as interested in his opinions and views and upcoming products, as I am in Paris Hilton's. They're on the same conceptual level.

    If a fan tells me to trade a player or pick up a player, I can't always do what they say

    I wonder how often he does do what they say? Better yet, if someone spammed a request for a trade to him, would he be statistically obligated to do what the spam told him to?

  6. Way Too Excited by mlmitton · · Score: 1, Funny
    And being able to see it in wide-screen high resolution with 5.1 sound, if you have a tank firing, you hear it coming out of one ear and see it leaving out of the other ear. It's just incredible. Just to be able to see it like you're actually sitting there is amazing.

    This guy is way, way to excited about war. Mayybe he should enlist.
