Dallas Mavs Mark Cuban makes bizarre remarks as he saves St. Patrick's Day parade

Fact is, excessive alcohol intake does damage and destroy grey matter/brain cells over time, which doesn't seem to detract from its promotion as the world's most widely available drug of choice. As an Irish addiction counsellor, I resent the correlation of alcoholism with Irish by the multinational intoxication industry.

Let me guess, his G. G. G. Granfather, Schlomo Epstein came from Moneygall.

are y'all sure that cuban isn't part irish. his sense of humour certainly is.

Let's face it St. Patrick has nothing to do with it. It's a taste of Ireland's alcoholic bing drinking.

For some it is a religious feast, for most it is a natioalistic holiday....nothing wrong with that as long as it is not overdone.

Saint Patrick's Day in Southern cities takes on elements of New Orleans Mardi Gras: beads, floats, trinkets. So far no one has told us how Irish-Americans are profaning a religious feast.

my comment sin binned - ic can't handle honesty

The guy has a sense of humour. Have we lost ours? And he put his hand in his pocket. Jim FitzPatrick. Ireland.

This guy was making a joke."I passed out in many of the booths there".That's the punchline.No need to punch him.

Firstly it is obvious what he said and it is by no means insulting. He has implied he has often enjoyed a party and feels others should too. Secondly as a business man, for giving funding to the event he is allowed to promote one of his companies so this is his main reason, he seen an opportunity where many people are assembled. Really clear how others misread this is upon comprehension.

Exactly irishpjk. Cuban’s comments are self depreciatory not anti-Irish. Irish Central is constantly sniffing out any remark that can be construed as a slight to the Irish. This permanent pity party is becoming kind of pathetic. Thanks for your generosity Mr. Cuban, didn't see any Irish reaching into their pockets!

How dumb can the city of Dallas be? Do they not understand how much revenue this parade brings in to the city?

Did 'Cuban' change his name before he lost his brain cells at the parade or after? At least most Irish are proud to leave their name as is.

It's OK. He's talking about the Irish. We can take it. (and if they don't like THAT they can............well, you know...........)

Its the Irish thanks, take the handout and insult giver. What is wrong wrong with his remarks, he admitts he has over indulged in drink and he knows people use this parade as an excuse to do the same. All facts of life, the problem with many of you is facts confuse you.
