- LewP, on 03/28/2008, -1/+3I am glad that the NBA made this decision...I might get to interview Dirk one day...LOL
- RuffRidr, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3It sounds like all you have to do is apply. They are letting ANY blogger that says they are covering the Mavs in, just to prove a point.
- cawpin, on 03/28/2008, -1/+6Am I the only one that read the title as Bi? I thought this was about bisexuals.
- ssn697, on 03/28/2008, -4/+3The NBA has been trying REALLY hard to top the No Fun League in crazy decrees. I guess the NFL's "you can't have long hair" ***** today sparked the NBA to step back?
- kablammoxerxis, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1What?
This is actually a good move that has no correlation to the no fun stuff.
- kablammoxerxis, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1What?
- bcuban, on 03/28/2008, -1/+4check marks blog at www.blogmaverick.com. I would suprised if he didnt blog his response.
- trackerbishop, on 03/28/2008, -1/+4meh. the blogosphere is the new media and pretty soon we'll just have 'elite' bloggers sanctioned and approved by the msm. only they will be allowed into locker rooms and be given press passes, while the rest of us on our filtered internet are left blogging to no audience. why did politico get famous all the sudden? because its corporate made for fox news. elite bloggers.
- PeyoteWarr, on 03/28/2008, -6/+25Bloggers are not reporters... Dig me down
- dcollins, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4I have always seen blog entries as editorials, not objective news articles.
- palanthos, on 03/28/2008, -1/+2Really, it depends on what type of blog we're talking about here. Some blogs report original news, others merely provide commentary on what's already out there. Take the Drudge report, or Talking Points Memo - regardless of your politics, both sites put news out that no other sites carry. Drudge broke the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal, while TPM broke the US attorney firings.
Both are blogs.

- ihavebeenseen, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4Dugg for two Dallas items hitting the frontpage in one day. Dallas could have underage stripper hooker NBA bloggers.
- Alix7, on 03/28/2008, -3/+2Bloggers are not reporters
Then again, mainstream media is barely news - trevorjez, on 03/28/2008, -1/+1stern is such a douchebag. granted, i live in seattle and my opinion is skewed...
- dafragsta, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3Oklahoma City will sure enjoy their new basketball team. If you want more salt in the wound, the Sonic (hamburgers) headquarters, FAA, and Tinker AFB are based out of Oklahoma City and the surrounding areas, so they might not even change the name. ;)
- darlingt, on 03/30/2008, -0/+1Sonic is HQ'd in OKC, and Tinker is in Midwest City (suburb of OKC), but assuming you mean the Federal Aviation Administration, according to http://www.faa.gov , they're in Washington, D.C. Did you mean a different FAA, or am I getting the wrong information?
- onlyclave, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1I live in Seattle too and I can't wait until the Supergonics are in Oklahoma City. Long live Clay Bennett!

- Magee1205, on 03/28/2008, -1/+4Mark Cuban is a complete douche bag. That is all.
- bingobongony, on 03/28/2008, -3/+1The only thing wrong with what the Mavericks did is that they allowed them in visitors locker rooms but not their own. Otherwise, they should absolutely be able to keep out losers who didn't take their college days seriously enough to get REAL journalism jobs when they got out.
- kablammoxerxis, on 03/28/2008, -1/+2The blogger who started this controversy has a REAL journalism job with the Dallas Morning News - a reputable newspaper.
The blog is merely the delivery method - the reporting's still there.- bingobongony, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1Then he should be able to get credentials through his REAL job.

- BIOHazard87, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1Horrible idea, reason being a bunch of idiots are going to run in there being idiotic and ruin it for everybody.
- danbedford, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1How could Mark Cuban let that happen, when the internet is what made him all that money? :'(
- MikeFallopian, on 03/28/2008, -0/+0From the way the headline was truncated, I half-expected it to say "locker room access to blacks", which would pretty much have killed their playoff hopes.
- ianzu, on 03/29/2008, -1/+0Much as I like to think of Cuban as a douche, I liked his response here.
- highride, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1Mark Cuban is a blogger.. Ironic
