Bank rethinking Mets deal

"Citigroup Inc. is exploring the possibility of backing out of a nearly $400 million marketing deal"

ahahaha, you think so? Also:

"It was the primary sponsor of the Rose Bowl last month, and is the sponsor of the 2010 BCS National Championship Game."

is that I don’t care where the heck they put their name. Seeing it simply has no effect on whether I’ll bank there. That’s true of any company – not just Citi. I’d love to go back to the old days where a stadium had an actual name that meant something and wasn’t going to change next year.

But,

I will say that if the Jackson Cty ever chooses to sell the naming rights (in order to boost Royal’s payroll only) I think that they really should sole source the name to be Chipotle Stadium.

enough money to keep Greinke a Royal forever.

plus maybe they can build a mini Chipotle beside Zack’s locker.

Not much of a surprise

I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.

Well....YEAH

They obviously need the extra cash to pay their intellectual property lawyers for this incredibly important lawsuit.

I believe the pawn shop owner when he says he wasn’t trying to infringe on Citi’s trademark. I mean, honestly, why would a decent, hardworking, and legitimate business owner like that want to sully his business’ reputation by associating it with Citigroup?
