Don't say that please.....

On SportCenter this morning they were going through what some of the sponsors would be for teams, it was funny.

ie...

Green Bay Packers presented to you by Cheez Whiz
there was maybe 10 more, hysterical

yankee stadium can never be re-named....for one the city owns the stadium and i believe there is a clause in the lease about this
