Mark Cuban is a jerk, right?
Sun, 05/08/2011 - 17:45 — brookecain (author)Mark Cuban is such a jerk. I was glad the other sharks stood up to him on that "speaker" deal and didn't let him bully his way into it. Based on his behavior during that negotiation, I can't imagine why anyone would want to go into business with him. Can you imagine how awful he'd be? I loved the fireman with the hose attachment thing (can't believe he went into business with Cuban, though). I WILL BUY THAT PRODUCT!!! One of the few things I've seen on the show that I will actually buy. Love this show.
