Sports Illustrated Runs Story on Mavs’ “Animal House” Workplace. Around dinner-time last night, the Dallas Mavericks sent out a press release announcing the launch of an investigation into inappropriate workplace conduct.

The story details sexual harassment on the part of former president Terdema Ussery (“You’re definitely getting gang-banged,” he allegedly told to one new hire) and the general frat-like vibe in the office (people openly watching porn on computers). The tiny nugget of good news here is that sources say they never had problems with the players—the locker room was a safer environment than the office. Mark Cuban denies any knowledge of misconduct and vows to clean it up.
