The naming rights deal is pretty spectacular. $700 million for 20 years, and the stadium only cost $375 million to build back in 1999.

Kinda makes you wonder how Crypto.com has this much money to spend. Lots of people losing their life savings on crypto to help Lebron and Matt Damon earn massive paydays.

Which member of the Lakers' 1950 championship team led the Philadelphia Eagles in sacks one year and was second in the NFL in receiving yards the next year; left for Canada where he led the CFL in receptions three times and receiving yards twice while playing for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers; also setting a still-standing professional record with five interceptions in a single game; became the Bombers' head coach at twenty-nine, bringing them to six Grey Cups (winning four) in his ten years in that job, before heading back south and leading another NFL team to eleven division titles and four Super Bowl appearances?
