You should probably laugh at this now before it comes true.

Check out Bob Miller's book for his recollection of how in the mid-1970s Kings owner Jack Kent Cooke tried to get Miller to work in a sponsor in the middle of play by saying "Marcel Dionne was scooting like a Datsun." Fortunately, Miller had the gumption to shoot it down and pass off the "Datsun scoreboard" as a substitute.

So it would be bad, but it could certainly be worse.; 5:37 AM
