Marc Cuban

I just watched show about him on G4. He is very smart. He made broadcast.com, by hooking up his computer to the local radio station and broadcasting it over the internet. in 98 Yahoo bought the company for 5 billion. Later he went to the Dallas Maverick game (which he already had season tickets to) noticed that it was boring and not selling out... he thought 'I can do better' so he bought them, and did do better... now he goes buys companies and makes them better, and then sells them for lots of money....

I want to be rich...

Mark Cuban is/isn't smart...

He is smart for the fact that he had Anything But Joey do the Maverick's theme song.

He is not smart for not continuing to be their manager.

Huh, the remove comment thing is lame... it doesn't remove the entire existance of the comment. Anyway.

Mark Cuban heard about ABJ. They entered a contest afterwards to try to get to do the Maverick's theme song. They won. The song was used for only a short time (and honestly I've never heard it either). Mark was kind of managing/bankrolling them for a short while. But then he stopped. I do not have any other details... so um, yeah. This was like 2-3 years ago.
