"It was more of a cat fight than a fight," Cuban said. "It was more like the Miller Lite girls."
Who really wants to go meet him at the airport?

Suspension likely for Stackhouse after Saturday-night fight
03:51 AM CDT on Monday, April 11, 2005
By DAVID MOORE / The Dallas Morning News
The Mavericks closed ranks around Jerry Stackhouse and braced for the suspension that is likely to be handed down before tonight's game with Memphis.
Stackhouse and Utah's Kirk Snyder came to blows in the tunnel that leads to the players' parking lot nearly 30 minutes after the conclusion of Saturday night's game. Mavericks officials sidestepped the issue after Sunday's practice, saying they were still gathering information on what happened. But the NBA office has been notified, and league officials customarily respond before another game is played.

Suspension likely for Stackhouse after Saturday-night fight
No one with the Mavericks wanted to use the "S" word. But in the aftermath of the brawl in Detroit earlier this season, a fight in front of family, friends and the fans who stood in the corridor of American Airlines Center hoping for autographs is expected to earn suspensions for both players.
Forward Dirk Nowitzki said he was sure the "league will do something, and we all have to live with it." He said it's a distraction the Mavericks don't need this close to the playoffs but added that everyone needs to move on.
"Because mistakes were made, repercussions have to take place," guard Michael Finley said.
"We just have to deal with it."
When asked about the confrontation, Mavericks coach Avery Johnson said little more than, "nobody really likes that kind of stuff." Owner Mark Cuban worked to minimize the perception of the incident.
"It was more of a cat fight than a fight," Cuban said. "It was more like the Miller Lite girls."
Initial reports from security officers and Mavericks officials indicate it was more serious. Stackhouse and Snyder were involved in several physical sequences during the game but no flagrant or technical fouls were called. Stackhouse was talking to his wife after the game when Snyder walked by on his way to the Jazz bus, and the two quickly came to blows.
There are reports that the fight lasted up to 40 seconds, that Stackhouse threw Snyder to the concrete floor at one point and that the Utah rookie was bleeding. Finley and Josh Howard escorted Stackhouse back to the locker room.
Two weeks ago, Snyder was removed from a game because he taunted the Houston bench after a dunk.
Stackhouse was told not to talk to the media by the PR staff.
"He felt bad," Finley said. "He felt as if he's affected the team. He's definitely a team guy. He never wants to take attention away from the team or become a distraction."
"It was more of a cat fight than a fight," Cuban said. "It was more like the Miller Lite girls."
Classic Cuban!! This is great. I'm happy to see any distraction for any other team especially this late in the game. As usual the Spurs are under the media radar and moving towards #1. Let's see if Phoenix does something stupid to turn up the media heat on themselves?
Expect Stackhouse to get a long-term contract after this year. He sounds like he fits right in with Mark Cuban's "My Fantasy Fairy League"."It was more of a cat fight than a fight," Cuban said. "It was more like the Miller Lite girls."
Cuban is the biggest hypocrit in professional sports.
Stackhouse is a punk.
I read somewhere it was pretty bad. Someone quoted a security guard as saying Snyder took several bad punches. Sorry, wish I had a link or something...

i was wondering what that stood for
Stackhouse is an f'ing idiot! That push/flagarant foul against Gino this past Spurs/Mavs game still has me pissed! I hope the league hammers that thug....
"Scratch his eyes out, Stackie! You go girl!"
Wow, these opinions are one sided...Stackhouse was just talking to his wife about to leave, when Snyder (a rookie, though I don't expect lots of you to know that there are players on teams OTHER than the Spurs) probably mouthed off to him again like he had been the entire game. Snyder has already been in trouble with the league, been suspended by his own coach, and gotten in in-game confrontations. Yet you all assume the worst of Stackhouse who has been a model citizen in Dallas.
What is to assume....he got rough with Ginobili then with Snyder whom he headed toward his locker room to confront. No assumptions there....the only assumption is yours on Stackhouse's innocence. You call out Spurs fans for assuming he is guilty then you assume he is innocent. double standard?
Oh and sweetie, I have forgotten more about the NBA and its players than you will ever learn, as have most people here....you want to get into a pissing contest about knowledge of NBA players?...bring it.
He hasn't always, though, Adrienne. Looks like he's reverting to type. I don't dislike him because he's a Mav. I've pretty much always disliked him, although I respect his game, for the most part.
There's also such a thing a model prisoner.
No I expect the worst of Cuban who's a POS hypocrit.
Snyder seems to a ed up, 22-year-old punk .
Jerry is 10 years older.
"Model citizens" don't get provoked into fistfights.
"Model citizens" don't act the way Jerry did in the Spurs blow-out.
Stack is a punk thug - point blank. The he pulled in Dallas the other night was complete BS. This is what you call "patterned behavior" - there is a reason he cant stay on a roster longer than a few seasons.....
I got the "pleasure" of watching Stackhouse destroy the Wizards' locker room over the past few years.
Having said that, Synder has a bit of a history, especially for a rookie. Also I find it hard to believe Stack would start something in front of his own wife. I'm willing to give him the benefit of a doubt on this one.
Idiots. Your "thug" Spurs were throwing all kinds of elbows (particulary Barry) when they got stomped by the Mavs, but I don't see any of you shmucks talking about that. I don't blame the Spurs though. You got raped harder than if 12 Kobes were coming at you. I can see why the Spurs would resort to 12 year old tactics and start crying over it.
Snyder is a punk. He deserved to get beat down. Only a couple of you have pointed out his past. I'd expect the rest of you Ginobili loving cretins to ignore the truth. After all, you all think the Spurs are good. That shows how much you know.
The funniest story I have heard about Stackhouse was that in his second year, he made it a point to tell reporters that Jordan was "a step slower" than he used to be and "not as dominant" The funny thing is that Dean Smith heard that comment and called MJ and simply said "Tar Heels do not do that to other Tar Heels" MJ went out and hung 50 on him that night.

Ohhh I see. He's a thug because he's a black man! Dayum! I see the apple don't fall from the tree...or around here, the cracker don't fall far from the box! More ways the Man tries to hold us down!
Stay Strong!
"Scratch his eyes out, Stackie! You go girl!"
