I know what you're thinking: "At least it doesn't rhyme with 'shitty'."

The guy who runs the Progressive show. A big fan of the ganja. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_B._Lewis

They came so close, too. Had they sold the rights to Progresso, the place could have been called the soup bowl, they could have promoted Minestrone Mondays and there's no doubt what everybody would be purchasing at the concessions on cold April nights.

wow.... ]Progressive will pay an average of $3.6 million a year for the rights. ... annual average cost of the naming rights represents about 1 percent of Progressive's annual advertising and marketing budget. so, then, they're spending $360,000,000 on advertising in a year. sick...

Never mind "the Jake", it'll always be "the mistake by the lake" for me.

]I'm way behind on this one. Just some good natured ribbing at Val's expense. He is on a Rogers-like (Rogersian?) rant against the name of the new Shea, and the fact that Met haters will refer to "Citi Field" as "Shitty Field".

Yup I meant that I was late making the joke. The party started without me.
