Obviously so many of us would have loved to see you at the helm of the Cubs, but we understand that sometimes things just don't work out.

As a native of Pittsburgh as well, it is a disgrace to have the Pirates fall on their face every year. The Pirates NEED to be contenders - they need your support and passion for winning. As you know, Pittsburgh is a hard core sports town and would have amazing support if they could be playoff contenders. After an amazing year with the Steelers winning the Super Bowl and the Pens making it to the Stanley Cup last season - the Pirates need your support to make the city of Pittsburgh the City of Champions once again!!!

Have been ever since they came to Big D. I was at Mopody Coliseum when we beat Seattle in Game Five. Then sat through the most difficult time in any pro sport and remained diehard. I am now in your old stomping grounds, Bloomington with my company. If you have a bit, come back down when y'all are in Indy and I will buy you a beer. GO MAVS Mickey Tindel Hey Mark,

I feel B-Ball would profit from having a personality like yourself owning a team. It seems to me that with newspapers struggling like they are and the economy where it is, your waiting might bring you a better deal than what was originally on the table. I can't help but read a bit more into your comments on being able to do more with your money right now than owning a team. I would appreciate the opportunity to send you a few minnesota companies I think you will find interesting, right up your alley in regard to Communications and TV. On a different note, how badly do you feel the attendances are going to be affected by the economy, and what is your team doing to entice new fans to buy tickets to see the Mavs?

Tom Ricketts being our other choice. What we've all been terrified of, is a faceless corporate entity, hell-bent on keeping spending down and prices up, without a care for winning. I'm sure you're aware, if it were up to fans, you'd already be working the Jake Peavy deal with Hendry. Baseball's Antitrust exemption needs to go, or at least be revised.
