One of the two parking-garage exits here at Unfair Park HQ's frozen over; explains why the office is now holiday empty. But before I quit it, a few items of interest to keep you warm:

USA Today profiles NBA All-Star Weekend co-host Mark Cuban, who's, like, mellowed in recent years; hence his burgeoning bromance with NBA commissioner David Stern, who, far as you know, is currently engaged in a heroic snowball battle with the mayor at the Dallas Convention Center.
