... . While I hope and pray that none of you are affected by Citigroup's news, I take solace in knowing that this news at least can't affect my favorite team... [image] Oh. Right. According to Maury Brown at the Biz of Baseball, you can address the new home of the New York Mets as Citi Field for the forseeable future : So, the question is, will the steep losses at Citigroup scuttle the most lucrative naming rights deal in American sports history with the Mets? The answer from the Mets is, no. Reached for comment, Mets spokesman Jay Horwitz simply replied that the deal with ...
Speed Read: Bills Recycling Ways To Lose Games
SPORTSbyBROOKS —
Uh-oh. Buffalo doesn’t have much going for it, so reminding every Bills fan of the one time they were a foot and a half from winning the Super Bowl isn’t really a great idea. Ryan Lindell joined Scott Norwood in the “wide right” hall of fame as the Bills lost to the Browns 29-27 on Monday night. It’s not an earth-shattering loss. I don’t think Vincent Gallo’s going to make a movie about shooting Lindell or anything. But it does drop the Bills to 5-5, which is now last place in the AFC East. Remember when they were going to run away with this division? Making all this more painful is the fact that Browns kicker Phil ...

I’m moving to a new desk today (a nice corner spot) so I wanted to post some items before I get busy with the heavy lifting so here we go:
No one is a bigger fanboy of Petey than me but no way, no how does Omar bring him back. Thank you Petey and good luck. See you in Cooperstown.
Okay all you commentators who told me I was out of my mind about bringing Jason Varitek to the Mets, after further review you guys are right I’m nuts. It just that I am not impressed with Brian Schneider both with the stick and especially behind the plate.

Citi Field Remains
The Slanch Report —
I joked about it yesterday but the douchiness of Citibank is pretty hard to ignore. Via the Biz of Baseball comes the report that despite laying of 53,000 workers, about twenty percent of their workforce, there is no intention of Citi reneging on their record $20 million per season naming rights deal. Well that just makes perfect fucking sense to me. Wouldn’t you love to be one of the 53,000 newly unemployed people, be told that ...

MetsBlog.com —
The lead financial story today on CNN reads, “U.S. stocks looked set to rebound Friday from their recent fall after a report said financial giant Citigroup is considering selling itself.”
As you know, in 2006, Citigroup announced it would pay $20 million over 20 years for naming rights of the Mets new ballpark, now called Citi Field.
Nevertheless, despite the financial state of Citigroup, a team spokesman recently told Biz of Baseball, “Everything is fine with our naming rights deal for Citi Field.”

It’s been some time since I updated this personal blog. That’s been a side effect of running the Business of Sports Network series of sites, writing for Baseball Prospectus (see my latest here), and getting ready for the MLB winter meetings in Las Vegas.
Along the way, I’ve been asked to weigh in on a number of sports business topics, or, the media has quoted me in articles I have run on BizofBaseball.com.
Here’s a smattering of my quotes across a variety of articles.
