We're getting to a place where we have to make a decision relatively soon. I would hope by the end of next week we'll have something to say. |
We're going to Las Vegas because we think it's a great destination city. They have removed the All-Star events from the betting line, and we think that we have no problem with people who want to go there and gamble. |
We're happy to wish Las Vegas well in its endeavor. We just have this one small, tiny, little issue. |
We're just changing the definition of the uniform that you wear when you are on NBA business, |
We're not going to be crazy. We just want our players to dress up, |
We've got an extraordinary number of good cops at the NBA. |
We've got teams that have been through stretches of difficulty. As fast as you can spell Clippers. |
We've had a very good year because people are talking about the game. They're complaining about the game, they're praising the game, they think it's good, they think it's bad, but it's about the game. Any time it's about the game it's fine from my perspective. |
Well, the job description has changed. |
What he said was he had a conversation with a referee. I found that unacceptable and (also) his declining to identify him. ... He accepted the fine and acknowledged the statement that he got a call from an NBA referee was, shall I say in error, inaccurate. That makes it over. |
What we came up with is a dress code that even Mark Cuban could comply with - if he wanted to. |
What we're doing here is largely symbolic. But it tells everyone that we've got to help. We've got to do better. |
What went through my mind when it was the second time is that our players have to be more careful because they are inviting targets in places where they might or might not want to be. It's going to be our job to remind them [of the dangers]. It's something that we clearly have to be concerned about. But really, less for the image and more for the safety. |
Yes, there will be an NBA team here. |
You're going to see enormously strong products like the Olympics and Monday Night Football remain strong network programming, and you are going to see programming that controls audiences on a Sunday or Saturday afternoon ... [that will] still be attractive to a certain degree to the over-the-air networks, ... But then [for other sports programming] you are going to see a migration to cable. |
