so, were there any riots in dallas last night?

Not sure where you're getting the idea of Dallas sports riots. I don't remember us ever having one!

Maybe you're getting it confused with Day-after-Thanksgiving morning riots in suburban Wal-Marts.

i remember there were riots after the superbowl and after most texas-ou games

of course they're not terribly violent or destructive, but they're riots nonetheless

The cowboy riots in the 90s were f'n classic. They were wonderfuly racial.


me:hey stu, can we riot?
stu:no, we have to win if we're gonna riot.
me:oh

The best of the Dallas Cowboys' Super Bowl celebration Tuesday was unbridled silver-and-blue exuberance. The worst was vicious, destructive violence.. City officials estimated that more than 300,000 people packed downtown for more than two hours. Dallas Area Rapid Transit officials said their free bus service transported about 19,000 more people downtown than on a normal day, spokesman Ron Whittington said. The crowd was swelled by thousands of students who ignored an edict that

The crowd was swelled by thousands of students. . .

Probably El Centro students.

What the hell happened?

I think this sums it up best:

Mark Cuban's response to "Is this the worst loss that you've ever experienced?"

[mere1975]

Yeah, he's a baby and he makes a lot of waves. It's his reputation and he's living up to it. It'll probably get him better ratings when he starts his Sirius radio show.

- Mere "All a' y'all who dislike Mark Cuban should kindly remember that he created Broadcast.com and that led to Yahoo! Broadcast money which helped fund the birth of your very own GOOD RECORDS, if I understand my Dallas history correctly" 1975

Everything Cubes does is to make both the Mavs and the league better. He wants a more entertaining product out there for everybody to watch. That is what is behind his complaints about how the refs call the game. He wants every playoff matchup to have fan and player intensity. That is why he says pissy things about the other team's players and coaches. There was a good article on ESPN Page 2:

I should have said that Cuban thinks everything he does is to make the Mavs and League better. Is he right? Is it working? I couldn't say.

So, who here thinks our little mavericks are done for the year?

[Rubbs]

Odds are against them. I can't believe it. I am so dissapointed. One game at a time. They can do it, but damn, it doesn't look good.
