Mark Cuban, Meet Ari Gold: Or,When Does Chuck Greenberg Get to Go on Entourage?

I knew there was a reason I keep watching Entourage -- to keep up with the parade of Dallas sports team owners parading through the office of Ari Gold. Jerry Jones has already appeared twice: once to tell Ari maybe he's just the man to bring a pro football team...

I knew there was a reason I keep watching Entourage -- to keep up with the parade of Dallas sports team owners parading through the office of Ari Gold. Jerry Jones has already appeared twice: once to tell Ari maybe he's just the man to bring a pro football team to Los Angeles, then again last week to tell him deal's off.

Then, on last night's ep (titled "Sniff Sniff Gang Bang"), Mavs man Mark Cuban strolled into Ari's office with his business manager, one Ken Austin, played by Mr. Show and Larry Sanders Show's Bob Odenkirk, and wound up talking tequila with Turtle. The clip above offers but a tease of that more-than-a-caemo. But Cuban likes, if only because it makes him look tall: "1st thing every1 ALWAYS says 2me: they thought i was 5'5. Its from standing next to 7' footers all the time.Im 6'3."
