In an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" that was interrupted by Charlie Sheen on Monday night, Cuban discussed a variety of topics and sounded lukewarm on any pursuit of the Mets.
"Maybe. It's interesting," Cuban said. "I'd like it. It'd be a cool idea. But I don't think it's going to happen simply because it'd require writing an $800 million or more check. It's a big check, right?
"I've been through this before, but call me crazy:
When I write an $800 million check, I want somebody to kiss my ass. I don't want to have to beg and grovel to write that check."
