Mavs owner Mark Cuban is finding new and interesting ways of being fined by the NBA.

Saturday, Cuban acknowledged on his blog Web site, www.blogmaverick.com, that he was fined by the league for his comments posted on the site Oct. 31, when he wrote that the NBA's decision to start the season on Election Day was "genius."

"I won't say what I really think about the genius that started the season on Election Day since it's probably the same person that started the season on Halloween in previous years," Cuban wrote. "Let's see, which [is] going to get more highlights and press coverage Nov. 3 -- the kickoff of the NBA season or the election?"

On Saturday, Cuban added to his blog that, "It [was] probably but just a matter of time till it happened. ... I'm sure this fine for a blog entry is a first in professional sports, and, in a lot of respects, it's amusing and will be fun for others to write and talk about."

Cuban, who has been fined more than $1 million since January 2001 when he bought the Mavs, was fined $100,000 less than a month ago for comments about the NBA's new rules regarding practice in training camp. He didn't disclose the amount of his most recent fine.
