I KID YOU NOT

Here's a great example of why I despise sportswriters and the 'pusher', ESPN.

Mixed in a report that some MLB sponsors will not celebrate Barry Bonds' whatever due to the allegations hanging over his head was this little piece of beauty:

"We are longtime partners of baseball, and with their perception on drugs, I could stand on the roof and scream that this issue has to get resolved," Bessant told Bloomberg News. "Baseball has got to get the perception of drugs out of the spot. It matters. Cheating matters. It isn't OK to cork a bat. Cheaters shouldn't prosper."
- Cathy Bessant, Bank of America

Oh, how marvelous.

Bank of America's long standing partnership with Major League Baseball goes all the way back to 2004. Bank of America did have some advertising with individual teams.

'The spot'. Now, eitha she's frahm Bahstan oha the autha is a jackeze.

Now, if any of the business minded want, they can go search for all the wondrous items in the files of the Department of Justice where Bank of America, and any of the other financial institutions it has bought out over the years, has been cited, indicted, tried, convicted, litigated, gagged, and law suited up and out the ying-yang.

Chances are you'd be busy for the next few days. Creative financing is cheating.
