Dallas Mavericks owner blogs that the most interesting thing about Super Bowl XLV is that not only it wasn't broadcast in 3D, but no one seemed to care.

Say what you will about Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban - cocky, controversial, outspoken, surprisingly good dancer - the man has always been ahead of the technology curve. Heck, that's how he made his billions to buy the Mavs, and he's turned them into a perennial contender.

He tweets ... he blogs ... he launched the first all-high-def network nearly 10 years ago ... he wanted no less than 1080 resolution for his arena's scoreboards ... and he bought into 3D technology, too, investing in a commercial cinema chain.




His Mavs were even participants in the first regular-season NBA game to be broadcast in 3D - against the Los Angeles Clippers nearly three years ago.

That's why it was great to see him tweet about the mini-diatribe he fired off on his blog last night about not only the lack of 3D broadcast for this year's Super Bowl - which obviously hit home even more because it was held in Dallas, in a super-high-tech stadium - but that people seemed to be completely apathetic about that.
