penfieldCongratulations to the Washington Wizards, our local professional basketball franchise, on a fine season. As you may know, the team earned a berth to the second round of the playoffs this year, ending a 25-year streak of totally sucking ass. (They were ultimately waxed by the Miami Heat, of course, which only goes to prove that, five years later, Florida is still totally fucking up our nation's capital.)
Still, I think I liked the Wizards better when they were named the Bullets. Sure, "Bullets" was an unfortunate moniker for the metropolitan area with a significant drive-by homicide problem. But "The Wizards" is a little too much Dungeons & Dragons for my taste. Presumably, a Wizards-Orlando Magic matchup would be like a geek's wet dream.
