Billionaire Cuban Booted Off "Dancing With The Stars"

People:

It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that billionaire Mark Cuban would not make it to the season five finals. The shocking discovery, however, is that Cuban admirably hoofed his way to the fifth week of competition before being eliminated on Tuesday night.

He's known for his temperamental displays towards NBA referees at Dallas Mavericks games, but Cuban was a humble sportsman when he learned his fate.

You might want to insert his first name in the title of the story. It sounds a little funny that way.

Wow, I had no idea that "Dancing With The Stars" was a business show! I'll have to check it out, maybe get an idea of where the stock market is headed.

Or maybe, just maybe, this story belongs under "Entertainment"?

The real news about Mark Cuban is when he signs Kobe Bryant to the Mavs.

Maybe he got booted for financing the upcoming cinema release of LOOSE CHANGE. These 911 Neocon, conspirators will stoop to nothing to make sure their lies never get an airing.

LOL

Btw, if anyone has NOT seen LOOSE CHANGE, its one of the better 911 Truth films out there. Check out YouTube or Google Video -- well worth it.

Another interesting film that is worth watching is WHO KILLED JOHN O'NEIL. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Who+Killed+John+O%27Neil&search=Search

Very well done, and fascinating to watch. I also saw a Frontline documentary on John O'Neil called THE MAN WHO KNEW, the hunt for AQ, and his tragic and ironic death in the WTC on 911.

The Frontline Documentary, which doesn't call it a conspiracy outright (its PBS of course), is good to watch as back ground (you can watch it online): http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/knew/view/

But watch Loose Change and Who Killed John O'Neil. Well worth the few hours over a couple of days to see.

Since I don't watch basketball, I had only vaguely heard of Mark Cuban before his appearance on DWTS. I heard he was loud and obnoxious and not well liked in NBA circles.

I still don't know if any of that is true, but I give him credit for having heart and determination, being a competitor and for having conducted himself always as a gentleman. There was never much possiblity he would last to even the final four, but he was better than some and he danced with enthusiam and passion. Kudos!

I agree, it was shocking that he lasted until the 5th week, while a much better dancer the judges felt had a lot of potential got booted earlier. Must have been the "billionaire" status.
