BUBBAS ANNOUNCE SPONSORSHIP,
COACHING MOVES
Pioneering arrangement, says Barris; Biggs copycats Bakers

In a move that experts said could revolutionize the marketing of sports stadium naming rights, the West Nashville Beelzebubbas have announced a unique partnership with two very different companies that happen to have a famous name in common.
Under new agreements with the Samuel Colt Manufacturing Company and Colt 45 Malt Liquor, the Bubbas’ home, Hell Stadium, will be rechristened “Colt 45 Field at Colt 45 Stadium.”
The agreement was announced at a press conference Tuesday. “It is a pioneering arrangement,” said the team’s marketing director, Chuck Barris, “but it is also a natural. Colt 45 malt liquor was already the unofficial official beverage of many of our fans north of Charlotte Avenue, and the legendary Colt 45 has always been Dr. Linardo’s favorite pistol in the non-automatic category.”
Barris said that, under the agreements, Colt 45 malt liquor would be served exclusively in Abu Ghraib Lounge, located on the 11th sublevel at Club Gitmo, and that Beelzebubbas coach Boyd X. Biggs would drink only Colt 45 at his weekly press conferences. In addition, the team announced a special promotion by which West Nashville residents could redeem any Glock or Barretta firearm, or any five black dogs, and receive a Colt 45 pistol, subject to legal registration under the Brady Bill. Barris declined to specify what would happen to the black dogs, saying that some details remained to be worked out.
In a separate move, the team announced that rapper L’il Wayne is the Bubbas new receivers coach, while longtime special teams coach Rod “He Hate Me” Smart has been promoted to offensive coordinator. Neither Wayne nor Biggs was on hand at the press conference to field questions. However, one team official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that the hiring of L’il Wayne was “an intentional copycatting” of the strategy of the 12th Avenue Bakers. “Look what Snoop did for that franchise,” the official said. “Wayne is gonna kick Andre Johnson’s ass next year and get us a ring.”
