Combine Yankees, Cowboys and Goldman Sachs

And, what do you get, other than either the lead-in or the punch line to an abysmal joke about either plutocrats or the Wall Street meltdown?

Maybe higher beer and brat prices at either the new Yankee Stadium or the “Jerry Jones naming rights not yet sold” new Cowboys domicile.

The two sports companies whose owners perhaps most signify greed and arrogance in the sports world have partnered with the financial firm, neƩ investment bank, of similar reputation on Wall Street, to form a joint venture in stadium concessionaire operations.

Hold on to your wallets.

There is a bright side for one person.

If Goldman alum Henry Paulson doesn’t stay on as Obama’s Treasury Secretary, at least he knows he has a job waiting for him.
