Perfectly fine with it, as long as he plays well enough to not embarrass himself. To be honest, I&#8217;m not a huge fan, though I admire him well enough. I just don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s that great anymore. He&#8217;s <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">good<\/span>, certainly, but not <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">great<\/span>. And I hope he retires some time before that becomes painfully obvious. And, really, I don&#8217;t see how he <span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">can<\/span> play again, after that big sendoff he got last season. I&#8217;m guessing the next one, when he really <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">does<\/span> retire, isn&#8217;t going to be that big a deal.<\/p>\n<p>As for the auction of the Rangers, I&#8217;d kind of like to see the team go to the Nolan Ryan group, just because I believe they have the franchise&#8217;s best interest at heart. Who knows what Mark Cuban has at heart, besides the spirit of a spoiled 14-year-old. But I&#8217;m okay with Cuban as part owner\u2026of the Rangers. <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Not<\/span> the Stars. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Please, God!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And, finally, this little gem.
