Pro football? Pretty fun, baby. It's everything I can do to keep from buying some shoulder pads and suiting up each fall. Now, the rumor mill has it that Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban wants to start a new football league to compete with the NFL for players drafted lower than the second round.

I know, I know ... football leagues that go head-to-head with the NFL don't exactly have the best track record. It wasn't long ago that the XFL became the Ex-FL. The USFL went AWOL after three seasons. Even the World Football League tanked after a while. But you gotta love the spirit of these guys, going against the rules in the hopes of getting something new off the ground.

Going against the rules is weird. Same deal with the dough. The credit card companies and car loan places tell you it's normal to need credit and debt. And the word budget to them is like garlic to a vampire. If they call that normal, I say ... be weird like Dave Ramsey, baby. Don't handle money the way broke people do. Shut up, save up and pay up.
