I thought the Bullets were cooler too. But, when they moved from the suburbs into the actual city (Chinatown, in fact) they wanted to change the name. Kinda backfired if you ask me, because even when the Bullets were crappy the games always sold out, but when they changed to the Wizards the ticket prices went up and attendance went down. It only finally picked back up when Michael Jordan came to town, and since then now that they're a semi-decent team in the playoffs for the second year in a row. But, it's done been changed for a while now, so I live with it.
As for anything else possibly being the cause of my stress, nah. It's definitely the Wizards.
