The naming of sports arenas and buildings is completely out of hand. When The Summit became Compaq Center, I refused to use the new name. Now we have Minute Maid Park (formally Enron Park), Reliant Stadium, and the Toyota Center.
Even the commercial breaks are now a commercial- "and now we break for the Ford moment". People are tattooing their foreheads for advertisements. And now, a town in Texas, has renamed itself Dish, Texas.
How much could I get for naming my kid James Coney Island?

It also made me think - uh, no - the 1st down was not brought to me by (whoever), it was brought to me by the damn football team!!! Uhg.
