Jerry
McGuire uttered those words in the movie of the same name. But never
has it been more true than today.
How
will ever get used to hearing the "Chicago Bears sponsored by Banc One".
Oh, we'll get used to it alright.
It
may sound a little silly now but wait. It's coming. More and more of
this sort of thing is on the way. Where will it go next? Where ever
the money will take it. "Just Show me the Money" and I'm yours. Banc
One paid $30 million for 12 years to the team for this privilege. All
because they couldn't get the naming rights for Soldier Field .
But
what it has done is open the door of acceptance to all of us. We'll
hear it enough. Complain a little about it then get used to it.
"Just
show me the Money" and you can sponsor my team.
Imagine
the possibilities…..Try these on for size…..
The
Washington Redskins sponsored by Skippy Peanut Butter
The
NY Giants sponsored by Little Debbie Cakes
The
Dallas Cowboys sponsored by Tampax Feminine Pads
The
Green Bay Packers sponsored by Cheese Whiz
The
San Francisco 49ers sponsored by Rice a Roni
The
Cleveland Browns sponsored by the Drew Carey show
The
Tampa Bay Bucs sponsored by Sunkist Oranges
Well,
you get the idea. Hey, but don't laugh too long. We already have Minute
Maid Park in Houston. Why not these others names?
Just
show me the Money and we'll even name it X-Lax field. Speaking of X-Lax
, the toilet is exactly where this is all headed.
