Deadspin
You might know that the Buzzsaw's new STATE OF THE ART football stadium currently is called "Cardinals Stadium," which, considering its lack of proper monetary compensation, is not a name that's likely to stick any longer than Bill Bidwell can cash a check.
And guess who wants to slap their name on the place? Pink Taco. No, seriously, No, like, for real.
Peter and Harry Morton, owners of Hard Rock Café, Morton's Steakhouse and Pink Taco, have already laid down $5 million and have offered the Cardinals a $30 million deal over 10 years, said Jason Rose of Rose & Allyn Public Relations. He told the Arizona Capitol Times this morning the Cardinals want a 25-year deal, which he said is "not prohibitive."
The PR folks for Harry Morton, who has been linked "romantically" with Lindsay Lohan and is (of course) friends with new Buzzsaw quarterback Matt Leinart, says they're "open" for a name other than Pink Taco. Which is probably not a terrible idea.
Though we are intrigued by the Mortons' ideas and would like to subscribe to their newsletter.

(UPDATE: The Buzzsaw's PR guy says "there's zero chance of that happening." We still hold out hope!)

They've been pussies for years.
Better than Furburger Stadium.
The Buzzsaw defensive line shall be called the Roast Beef Curtain.

A team of birds playing in a taco. That's too many euphemisms for my taste.
Well, at least we'll know that this is the cleanest Pink Taco Matt Leinart's been in for a long time.
There is no way I am following the fsxlsodspaaasd;lfkjadp until I am part of it
Welcome to the Vag!
seems like a fitting name...
as the Buzzsaw has been getting fucked by the rest of the NFL for quite a while now!
Gaping pink taco with Leinert playing in it. Does this have to do with Paris Hilton?
I myself am a bigger fan of the Brown Balloon Knot when it comes to intercourse and football stadium names, in no particular order.
let's just say i would like to hear al michaels or john madden say that the pink taco stadium is just a great place to play football. that would make my day.
Aeneas Williams is rolling over in his grave.
Roast Beef Curtain. CC, you owe me for a new keyboard after spitting coke all over this onelkaslknasd['kqwe.....damit!
i hear the field can get kinda dry out there
gash field.
If Pink Taco can't work out a deal with the Cardinals Stadium, there's always this stadium.
Could the announcer say "that guy just ate the turf?" Not if it's LeinartI guess.
I came here to study the great American art of muff diving. To smack clam, munch rug, dine at just one American pink taco stand! You know, I wanted to, how is it, park the porpoise. You know? I want to take it through the car wash, baby. And get it waxed. I want to wax it. Wax it! You know, and air dry. Air dry that shit, yeah! And I would like to be your assistant very much, Mr. Denny Green.
Yes, it's a terrible, terrible movie, but it had one redeeming character. Or, at least he seems redeeming when it's on HBO 42 at 2:00 a.m. and you're suffering from severe insomnia.
So... are you gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us? Do you have any thoughts of your own on this matter? Or is that your thing... you come into a bar you read some obscure passage and pawn it off as your own idea to impress some girls?
2 redeeming things about that movie crim (tara reid)
All that's missing is the Buzzsaw trading for Taco Wallace. I'm sure he'd be thrilled.
Heh...meat curtain. That gets me every time.
The Puss is a great place to play, despite it being warm and moist most days.
On serious note, Morton's Steakhouse is amazing.
They should name it for Pat Tillman.
I'm a lawyer, Winslow. All we know how to do is collect material from already existing documents and use them for our own. BTW, I had to do my own writing here because the only appropriate movie quote that popped into my head to respond to yours is from Secret Window. I'm not quite ready to admit to the public that I've seen Secret Window. Oh crap.
I concur.
as a fellow member of the bar, i would advise you to never utter the words "secret garden" ever again unless it is in reference to lindsay lohan smuggling yoyo's
wait... secret window? crap, i think this means i just admitted to having knowledge of the movie secret garden. damnit
Fuck me gently with a Buzzsaw.
Gaping Axe Wound Field at Pat Tillman Memorial Stadium.
AENEAS WILLIAMS IS ALIVE! ALIVE I TELL YOU!
Pair this with Denver's Invesco Field ("The Diaphragm", no?), and the NFL could enlarge its brand by targeting the skanky female market.
Whatever they name it, that is one odd-looking stadium.
If this happens, Arizona would be morally obligated to draft this douchebag next year: http://utsports.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/cooter_jimbob...

Either this story is really old or the Arizona Capital Times is a real shit paper.
I know we don't like to deal in trivial things like facts but...
Harry Morton "owns" the Hardrock in the same way that I "owned" my old mans Mercedes when I was in high school and he was out of town.
Additionally, I think even ol' Peter (Harry's Father and the real owner (for the time being) of the Hardrock Hotel & Casino) himself would challenge the notion he owns the Hardrock since he sold it to the Morgans Hotel Group for $770 million dollars on May 11th of this year.
What the fuck is going on here?
I can tell you that Peter wouldn't allow Harry to pick the color of the hand towels at the hotel... the notion that he would allow Harry's "people" field press inquiries is a joke.
I think that Harry's official title prior to the sale of the hotel was "Director of Special Projects" or some shit like that (essentially a fancy way of getting his son on the payroll to avoid gift taxes)
I call bullshit on the Arizona Capital Times!
And Oregon State thought they had market cornered on ribald stadium names.
You're thinking of Penn State. Despite their nickname, Oregon State plays their games at Reser Stadium.
Northwestern used to play their games in Dyche Stadium....take it digest it run with it....
And I would've gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for you meddling kids...
Eh. Holley Mangold's pick taco seats more people.
But at least you know what's growing at the Buzzsaw's arena. Who knows what's growing in Holly's cooch.
Big Daddy Drew, you just reached a new height. You did not make me spit [insert substance here] all over my keyboard. Instead, I laughed so hard my gum went up my nose. Like milk. But stickier and more solid.
Ouch.
PurduePaul: is that Dyche as in dyke or Dyche as in dick? either way, it is a quaint little name.

Did you say something? I'm sorry, I don't speak spanish.
I remember when they did the report about Pink Taco on The Daily Show. That was on of the great reports ever.
To complete the picture, they could plant a ton of shrubs extending randomly outward from the stadium and call it the "Martin Van Buren Memorial Gardens"
Seriously....the Cardinals' owner has the most misspelled name in the history of sport.
It's Bidwill. Not Bidwell. Bidwill.
If you're as big a fan of the Buzzsaw, get the name of the family that has owned the damn team for the last howeverlongitis correct.
Now [b]that[/b] is a burn.
As a fan of the Buzzsaw, I just don't even know what to say anymore.
However, I was pleased that Leinart was able to pull himself out of the Chateau Marmont long enough to begin attending camp.
Did I ever tell you all that I really hate Bill Bidwill?
i thought it was bidwell
James Frey actually came up with "The Pink Taco" after he rodeo fucked Mama Morton while snorting the 50-yard line of Sun Devil Stadium. Will the synergies never end?
Uh, no. It's Bidwill. Always has been. Always will be.
