Plenty of offseason chatter

Now that it's officially the offseason, here's this from the NYTimes.com:

Why not forbid any bank receiving taxpayer money to purchase naming rights to sports stadiums and arenas? Citigroup is handing the Mets something like $20 million a year to call their new stadium Citi Field. Surely, the Mets do not need Citigroup’s money — not to mention yours — to keep failing to make the playoffs.

That's from Clyde Haberman joshing the banks about ATM fees and non-working pens.

Non-working 'pens indeed!!!1!1!1!!!!!!

Here's a link to Clyde's article, in case he needs the cross-site linking love.
