Funny how the throw away domain name ended up being the most coveted name of them all several years later and ended up selling for 10,000 dollars. Spears stated that he received an email, phone call and a text message from a GoDaddy broker informing him that they have a buyer interested in the Washington Football domain name. Spears speculated that the interested buyer was someone from the NFL Washington organization, especially with all the news going on about the NFL team formally known as the Washington Redskins looking to change their name.

The initial offer that was made by the party interested in buying the domain name was for 3,500, a negotiation obviously took place and Spears ended up negotiating up to and selling the domain name for 10,000 dollars. As previously mentioned, Cal Spears figured that the party interested in the domain name might be someone from the Professional Washington Football Team and figured he could have asked for money but was not 100 percent focused on if it was someone from the organization primarily due to being focused on the start of the MLB season opening up.
