01.19.09 ‘O THE NBA GON DRANK’
The NBA’s reversal of a ban on liquor advertisements appearing courtside has sparked a lot of talk about how bad the economy is and how your mom is blowing guys on the street to make ends meet and how little Carson has to enroll at public school now because Daddy got laid off from his investment firm because he was too busy snorting coke off his secretary’s ass to realize that the American economy had overextended personal credit. Not that this exact same thing has happened every 90 years or anything.
The league is also crafting policies that could allow teams to offer hard liquor advertising on team Web sites, point-of-sale retail locations or in-arena promotions. Those decisions are expected shortly.
The vote to ease the restrictions was taken last week during the NBA’s sales and marketing meetings in Phoenix. It opens new revenue streams for all 30 teams, who have been prohibited from selling courtside/TV visible hard liquor signage since 1991.
The decision follows Major League Baseball, the NHL and NASCAR in allowing spirits advertising within camera view. The NFL does not allow any hard liquor signage within camera view in their stadiums.
Really, it was just one of those silly prohibitionist things, and I’m kinda glad they got rid of it. Kinda.

Vin Baker is vindicated!!!
Something tells me that the teams will miraculously find a way to spin this as yet another excuse to raise the price of beer at games.
Cisco the offical sponser of the NBA now in grape flavor.
Proof, once again, that booze is always the answer.
Mommy what did you mean when you said “Daddy is to busy snorting cocaine of his secretaries ass to spend time with his family?”

Mad Dog 20 20, official drink of the NBA
Now everybody can see the advertisements and laugh because it’s the exact same thing they smuggled in to the game. Fuck an $8 beer.
Your move, Rex Banner.
@Shan – I prefer fucking a nice $12 glass of ‘03 Shiraz, really makes me dick tingle.
Does this mean Shawn Kemp is back in the game?
What about Latrell, when I want to get fighting drunk mad and choke someone I reach for Gordon’s cheap ass vodka… Hey Carlissimo… Drink on coming you for you baby.
THERE HAS TO BE A FUCKING TANQUERAY JOKE IN HERE SOMEWHERE!!!
On a side note Joaquin’s new alblum will be titled, “hairlip of the dog that bit ya.”
@Kenny: I’ll try and gin one up for ya.
“The decision follows Major League Baseball, the NHL and NASCAR in allowing spirits advertising within camera view.”
Upon hearing that spirits were being advertised at the racetrack, the stadium emptied because rednecks are terrified of ghosts.
And I heard NASCAR fans don’t like spooks either.
Sex, no but NAACP fans do.
What’s next? Gun stores on the mezzanine?
