The Stars advertisement, above, is posted on a Dallas-area billboard. As part of the team's "come into the cold" ad campaign to sell seats for 2007-08, the Stars took a shot at the NBA's referee scandal on a billboard near the American Airlines Center, the building the Stars share with the Dallas Mavericks. The message? "The only thing our refs shave is the ice." </div> link You just know that Stern is seething at the fact he can't fine them. Though I wouldn't be surprised if he fined Cuban for it.
Ah, it's all in good fun. The Oakland A's used to have a billboard coming over the Bay Bridge that read, "Zero Splash Hits/5 World Championships" or something like that. Stern probably is none too pleased, though, you're right.
