Dan Gilbert is Still Short

MATW has to break form for a moment, to laugh and mock Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert. Dan Gilbert allegedly got in a fight with David Hall (formerly of Rock Financial, a Gilbert-owned subsidiary of Quicken Loans.) This is hilarious on a number of levels, but it can only get better if it ends up with Gilbert fighting the law and the law winning.

Gilbert and his spokesman declined to comment on the fight. They also did not comment on Gilbert's inability to ride The Magnum.

Cavs owner Gilbert investigated for role in hotel scuffle near Detroit

DETROIT (AP) -- Police are investigating an altercation between Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert and a former executive of his mortgage company at a suburban Detroit hotel.
Birmingham police Chief Richard Patterson said on Friday it involved Gilbert and David Hall, a one-time senior vice president at Rock Financial.

Patterson says the "simple altercation" occurred during an event on March 21 at the Townsend Hotel.

Gilbert did not immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment. A company spokeswoman declined to comment. The Associated Press also sent an e-mail to Hall on Friday seeking comment.

Rock Financial is part of Livonia-based Quicken Loans Inc., of which Gilbert is chair and founder.
