Wizards Deals to Help You Forget Your Redskins Blues

By Sean Lishansky

Fresh off the Redskins’ 21-point defeat at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks, thousands of Washingtonians have turned their attention across the Anacostia River to take solace in the city’s other playoff-bound franchise—the Washington Wizards. Often forgotten during the Redskins’ improbable run to the postseason, the Wizards were equally impressive in the NBA’s early going, compiling a 17-16 record—good for fourth place in the Eastern Conference—despite playing without star guard Gilbert Arenas for all but eight games.

So after folding away those burgundy-and-gold jerseys for the winter, check out these great promotions at the Verizon Center. Not only should they help ease your transition from the gridiron to the basketball court, but they’ll save you some extra cash for those $4 jumbo pretzels, too.
