It's all in a name.....

I was sitting around last evening have a few cold ones at a tavern and was watching ESPN. I noticed that the names for all these college bowl games championship games for various sports are getting ridiculous.

The PBA is having their championship event tonight, and it is called The Constructionjobs.com Chanpionship. (Never heard of such a site) Do a lot of bowlers have construction jobs? I don't see many construction workers sitting around tonight to watch bowling.

Here is a quick list of some of the ridiculous Bowl Games
  • BELL HELICOPTER ARMED FORCES BOWL
  • ROADY'S HUMANITARIAN (due proceeds go to Africa?)
  • GAYLORD HOTELS MUSIC CITY BOWL (Isn't this from Meet The Parents?)
  • INTERNATIONAL BOWL (Both teams in it were from the U.S.)
  • SAN DIEGO COUNTY CREDIT UNION POINSETTIA BOWL (Is this a tongue twister?)
Why can't we just have normal bowl and championship geams? Must everything be sold out to everything in corporate America? How about the "This is Why the Terrorists Hate Us" Bowl, that has a nice ring to it.
