I missed it. The Bank of America (a California based engulf and devour bank) had decided they did not want their name on Boston's FleetCenter.

They engulfed and devoured Fleet (nee Bank of Boston, Bay Bank, our old banks) a while ago. They did not want the embarrassment of the current Celtics and Bruin teams on their reputation or their conscience.

So, the guys in the Center office, who I know a little, had a naming contest for charity: In Boston, 'Derek Jeter' Is Rejected (Rated X).

They do not say what the actual new name will be. The old name of the old building they demo'ed to build this thing was the Boston Garden. What is wrong with that? One of the current winners has used the 'garden' name. A hint of things to come; again?

Today it is The LindaWaltonGarden. Another day, another name. And they are extending the eBay auction.
