Headlines after a Lakers game…Tales From the Crypt.

And the national anthem to be sung by “Boris” Pickett and his Cryptkicker Five.

Tales from the “Crypt” ?

The Crypt stadium … “Where once good players’ careers come to die!”

“Welcome to The Crypt, where we bury our opponents!”

I had to google this to confirm: $700 million to slap your logo on an arena? Sure enough. Somewhat excessive, in my view.

The history of “go-go” companies paying megabucks for “naming rights” to stadiums and other venues is not a happy one. Seriously, I would be very hesitant to invest into Crypto.com after this.

(Actually, the deal is for the arena’s naming rights to extend for twenty years at $35 million per year. I suspect long before 2042 the building will change names once again.)

I’m not sure , Is Stephen King a Lakers fan?

The value of cryptocurrencies fluctuate wildly. Someone will pay the $35M for the first year to boost his portfolio and then dump it.

Crypto currency is a load of baloney.

Evening games are called crypto-night?

Today is Schadenfreude Day!

If the Lakers don’t play any better, The Crypt is an apt name.

Would love to return to the days when arenas were named after important people. I guess that ship sailed 20+ years ago…..

Now, we just need to get the Cryptkeeper from the show and The Undertaker can come out to his entrance music before every game.

You got that right.
