That would be a good candidate for the Wizards new name, abstractly evoking both "natal" (implying a phoenix-like rebirth) and "Native Americans" (showing Washington football fans how to successfully rename a team). And a nice assonance with Capitals. Natinals and Capitals. Call them the Nals for short.

Nah, if we name them Natinals, the nickname should be Natties like Nattie Dread or Nattie Bo . . . get a nice regional franchise effect there too.

As much as I love grammar, the only rule that I knowingly disobey is the one regarding putting punctuation inside of quotes. It's silly, illogical, and just dang looks wrong.

Good taste restricts me from making a West Virginia joke here. But I really want to.
