The Washington Commanders. Huh. Kind of bombastic, but probably inoffensive. Certainly better than DCFC, which believe it or not was one of the top contenders. RedWolves was clever, but probably would've annoyed the people who were most offended by the previous name because the first syllable was still the same. And choosing a name with an embedded capital would probably end up looking as dated as all those tech firms from the 90's with all the X-Y-Z stuff (Xylan, ZyXel, Xytech, etc.)

I was kind of hoping that they would follow the linguistically inventive lead of the Minnesota Wild and go with an adjective instead of a noun, like The Washington Furious.

 Now it would be a massive understatement to say that I don't follow football. I was grumpy about my city getting suckered into running the Superbowl AGAIN, and until yesterday it hadn't even occurred to me to wonder who might be playing in it. But yesterday's game was impossible for even me to ignore. I mean, THAT'S the way to end a "once-in-a-lifetime-important" Final Playoff Game!  Jeez!  Holy buckets!! *

So now we get to play in the Superbowl in our own town, right?  Right?

What's that?  It wasn't really the Final Playoff Game after all? We have to do it AGAIN next week??  I'm not sure my limited sports attention span is up to that. But I sure did enjoy flipping through all those online pictures of the expressions on everybody's faces when, um... that guy caught that pass. Dang. I knew his name a minute ago, but it's slipping away. Devon something? Well, good job, Devon!!

* As we say in Minnesota when unbearably excited
