Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
The mainstreamers – that’d be, of course, your Dallas’ Only Daily and your good ol’ Startlegram – are echoing what I started yelling last Saturday. That, barring the reincarnation of Red Auerbach, the Mavericks are about to hire Rick Carlisle.
Perhaps as soon as soon as Friday.
Not a sexy pick, no. But it could be worse. Hey, I covered the team when the plays were diagrammed by Quinn Buckner, Jim Cleamons and Richie Adubato. Nonethless, the mainstreamers are sending yawns and question marks toward Mark Cuban this morning regarding Carlisle.
The owner, for what it's worth, seemed determinedly unfazed by the media's luke-warm reactions as he sat next to this stunning hottie during last night’s Dancing With The Stars’ 100th show gagapalooza. I know, guilty. But my wife made me.
Besides, what else was I gonna watch? LeBron going 2 of 18? -- Richie Whitt
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
