Serv, I agree. I said a couple of months ago that Snyder should try to be more like Cuban, who is open and honest, and quite simply, a fan. Snyder seems much more interested in cultivating a image than in simply showing us how much of a fan he is. I hope this doesn't rub people the wrong way, but Snyder reminds me of new money, to some extent. People who have had money act differently from those who have recently come into it, in many, many different ways. One way this manifests itself is in image, they way these people want to be perceived by others.
Cuban's love for the Mavericks is easy to see, and easy to identify with. It is one of the main reasons he is (mostly) beloved. One of the most endearing (and only endearing) memories I have of Snyder is him jumping up and down in joy when Santana beat Dallas. He was a fan then, just like me for that brief moment.
If he would let that side loose a little more, I think he would get the love and respect I suspect he desperately craves.
