A Brief History

The Washington Redskins are a professional American football team based in the Washington, D.C. area. The team plays at FedExField in Landover, Maryland, which is in Prince George's County, Maryland. The team's headquarters and training facility are at Redskin Park in Ashburn, Virginia, a community in Loudoun County, Virginia near Dulles International Airport. They are members of the Eastern Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL).

According to Forbes Magazine, the Redskins are the most valuable sports team in the United States, valued at approximately $1.423 billion, and have been the most valuable sports team in the U.S. for seven years running. They are the wealthiest and most profitable team in the NFL, generating over $300 million in revenue and netting over $100 million annually. They have also broken the NFL's mark for single-season attendance six years in a row[2] due to having the NFL's largest stadium capacity.

Overall, the Redskins have played for eleven NFL Championships and have won five, including three of the five Super Bowls in which they have played. Four of the five Super Bowls were under the leadership of Hall of Fame coach Joe Gibbs.

The Redskins are one of only two teams in the NFL with an official marching band. The other is the Baltimore Ravens. The Redskins were also one of the first teams to have a fight song, "Hail to the Redskins."

This time there was nothing at stake, except a few jobs before the final roster cutdown on Saturday. David Carr took advantage of Manning's rare night off and threw touchdown passes to Darcy Johnson and...

Jaguars stymie Redskins 24-3 in preseason finale (AP)

Gregg Williams didn't have to tell his players how motivated he was to show up his old team. All the former Washington Redskins assistant coach had to do was crank up his renowned intensity to get the message across. "He didn't say anything about it, but we kind of knew," Jacksonville Jaguars middle linebacker Mike Peterson said.

Redskins Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

The Redskins were two different teams in 2007. They were the team that followed an ugly 5-11 season in 2006 by losing four in a row to drop to 5-7 and the verge of elimination from the playoff race when they faced the Chicago Bears on Dec. 6, just four days after Hall of Fame coach Joe Gibbs committed a timeout gaffe in the final seconds of a loss to the Buffalo Bills and just three days after the funeral of murdered star safety Sean Taylor.

Quarterback Jason Campbell, who had made 20 straight starts, suffered a season-ending dislocated kneecap against the Bears.

And yet, against all odds, the Redskins rallied behind backup quarterback Todd Collins, who shook off a decade of rust to lead convincing victories over the Bears, the eventual Super Bowl champion Giants,...
