A while back I ranted about the commercialization of  college bowl games, which I believe to be a pox on our society.  And then I read this today...
NEW YORK (January 19, 2011) – The National Hockey League today announced the details of the Honda NHL SuperSkills® and the format of the six events that will showcase hockey’s top talent on Sat., Jan. 29, during 2011 NHL® All-Star Weekend in Raleigh. 
The NHL All-Stars and Rookies will participate in six events:
•    Bridgestone NHL Fastest Skater™
•    BlackBerry NHL Breakaway Challenge™
•    McDonald’s NHL Accuracy Shooting™
•    G Series NHL Skills Challenge Relay™
•    XM NHL Hardest Shot™
•    Discover NHL Elimination Shootout™ 
OMFG.  WHERE will it end?  It's not beyond the pale to think there will come a day when we'll see F-15s with a Nike Swoosh or a CitiBank flag flying over the capitol.  I mean that literally when speaking of the capitol; we're pretty much already there, figuratively speaking.
