No ....they're in Landover, Maryland because the mayor was too cheep to let
Jack Kent Cook build the stadium downtown, so Cook decided to go all the
way out in bumblef**k to build it.

My fav suggested name so far - the Potomac Snakeheads - after the our
river's newest species. There's a lot of people pushing for the Greys -
after DC's Negro League Team. No one in DC wants to call it the Senators
again, since we don't HAVE any.
