Posted by Ilya Somin: A Bad Year for Mavericks: http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2008_11_16-2008_11_22.shtml#1226992114
The Year 2008 will surely go down in history as a bad one for Mavericks. First, the Jason Kidd trade failed to give the Dallas Mavericks the boost they needed to advance deeper into the playoffs. Then, superstar Dirk Nowitzki had another mediocre postseason. On the political season, "maverick" John McCain was soundly beaten in the presidential election, and fellow self-proclaimed maverick Sarah Palin wasn't able to give the ticket the hoped-for boost that was expected of her. And now, [1]Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has been charged with insider trading. And [2]corporate law maven Steve Bainbridge believes that the SEC has a "pretty good case" against him. At this point, the mavericks of the world can't wait for 2009.
