	USFL - United States Football League
		The Federals lost on last-second field goals of 50 and 52 yards, a 98-yard TD pass, a missed chip-shot field goal, and a quarterback sneak that came up one foot short.
		Following the disastrous 1984 campaign, the Federals were supposed to be bought by Sherwood Weiser and moved to Miami, but when the league's move to the fall was announced, Weiser pulled out having no desire to compete with the Dolphins.
		Washington jumped out to a 16-7 advantage at halftime but saw the last of it's lead slip away on a 43-yard field goal by Novo Bojovic that tied it at 16-16 on the last play of regulation.

		It also was the home of the Washington Redskins, a team in the National Football League, from 1961 until 1996, when they moved to FedExField in suburban Maryland.
		RFK Stadium has undergone a $13 million dollar renovation, and is planned to be used for a total of three years for the new baseball team, while a $611 million dollar state-of-the-art stadium is built on the north bank of the Anacostia River at South Capitol Street.
		Pollin owned the Baltimore Bullets and moved them to Washington, where they became the "Capital Bullets," "Washington Bullets" and now the "Washington Wizards." He also founded the NHL's Washington Capitals and built two area arenas: The Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland and the MCI Center (now the Verizon Center) in downtown Washington.

	This is the USFL 1984 Washington Federals
		With the loss, any illusions that the Federals could simply overcome their many blunders from the previous season on their own were practically diminished.
		With Washington off to another miserable start, attendance constantly dwindling, and the Federals only star athlete now permanently inactive, any appeal between the fans and the team that may have once existed had been detached.
		While the Federals were seldom out of any games during their first season, they were anything but competitive in ’84.

	WASHINGTON FEDERALS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		In 1983 and 1984, Washington, D.C. was represented in the spring-season United States Football League by the Washington Federals.
		While they were in town, the Federals forged a bond with their fans and provided some exciting and memorable moments.
		One USFL highlight video refers to Federals fans as having been "impervious to the obvious." Yes, their owner really did compare them to "Muppets" and "untrained gerbils." But they were our team, and we loved them.

		The first serious advance of the Federals forced him back at once, and he was freely criticized and denounced for what, in ignorance of the facts, the Southern press and people regarded as a weak and irresolute defence.
		The Federals were completely surprised,and Johnston was in the full tide of success when he fell mortally wounded.
		President Davis said, in his message to the Confederate Congress, Without doing injustice to the living, it may safely be said that our loss is irreparable, and the subsequent history of the war in the west went far to prove the truth of his eulogy.

	Boomer Esiason - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, it should be noted that no quarterbacks were drafted in the first round, and, in fact, Esiason was actually the first one selected.
		He was also drafted by the Washington Federals franchise of the now-defunct United States Football League.
		Arguably the most prolific left-handed quarterback in NFL history (Pro Football Hall of Fame member Steve Young — the first left-handed quarterback to be inducted — actually ranks below him in many statistical categories), Boomer got his first pro start on Oct. 7, 1984, in Cincinnati in a game against the Houston Oilers.

	RFK Memorial Stadium
		From 1961 to 1996, RFK Stadium hosted Washington Redskins football and provided a home field advantage unlike any other.
		Sure, the crowds have looked a little sparse recently, but don't think that means tickets have suddenly become available for Washington's other sporting passion (aside from politics and rumor-mongering).
		The tight squeeze at RFK stems from its cozy confines.

		Because of its contained-oval shape, the ballpark held the summer heat of Washington DC well into the evening hours, thus allowing the ball to carry well even at night.
		The club, renamed the Washington Nationals, was announced would spend its first three seasons playing at RFK Stadium.
		Two weeks ago, in the second inning of a game against the New York Mets, Washington Nationals third baseman Vinny Castilla ripped a ball on a line toward the left-center field fence at RFK Stadium, took a couple of steps toward first base, and flipped his bat.

		(Jan. 16, 2002) -- Steve Spurrier hadn't even been in the Washington area a day when he stepped to the podium in the Redskin Park auditorium to meet the local media for the first time.
		But it also doesn't take a résumé filled with years of experience on the NFL level in order to be a successful head coach.
		But history shows that his hire is no more of a risk than when a club brings in an assistant or a former NFL head coach.

		The 'classical' name I like is the Washington Eagles, it's more appropriate for the DC area than I think Philadelphia, (Sorry Phil.) and they're different sports besides.
		My 'original' suggestion is the Washington Esquires, in honor of D.C.'s distinction as the lawyer capital of the world....Nothing would be scarier to the opposition than lawyers.

		Her most notable antebellum achievement was the establishment of a free public school in Bordentown, N.J. Though she is remembered as the founder of the American Red Cross, her only prewar medical experience came when for 2 years she nursed an invalid brother.
		Through interviews with Federals returning from Southern prisons, she was often able to determine the status of some of the missing and notify families.
		By the end of the war Barton had performed most of the services that would later he associated with the American Red Cross, which she founded in 1881.

		Sure we had just five wins, but the Federals won seven games combined in their two years of existence.
		Collier was a good quarterback for us all year, rushing for 13 touchdowns and throwing 12 more, while Walters caught 58 balls and went on to have a long career in Canadian football, and both were typical USFL players.

		The American civil war was fought in the United States of America between the northern states, popularly referred to as the "Union", and the seceding southern states (in the U.S., The South), calling themselves the Confederate States of America or the "Confederacy".
		But there is no question that the salient issue in the minds of the public and popular press of the time, and the histories written since, was the issue of slavery.
		Major General George McClellan took control of the Union Army of the Potomac (he was briefly given supreme command of all the Union armies, but was subsequently relieved of that post in favor of Maj. Gen. Henry Halleck), and the war began in earnest in 1862.
