Raiders to rename stadium 'Overstock.com Coliseum'.

The whole naming deal may be a gross miscalculation by Overstock.com, as it presupposes that Raiders fans know how to use the Internet and/or have a credit card. (Kidding. The biggest obstacle will be getting past the prison's web filters.)
This sentence honestly made me laugh heartily

Given the way Raiders and A's tickets sell, I cannot think of a more appropriate name for the place.

When I first heard about this, I thought someone had mistaken something in The Onion for actual news again...

They should have announced this on Saturday. That way they could draw attention away from how they found a new and interesting way to screw up a draft.
