**ANNOUNCEMENT**TheWarpath.net Teams Up with Tony McGee's Pro Football Plus

Glad to hear about this as Tony' show has and is still one of my favorites.
One note of caution. Over at extreme, when they cut the deal wth the devil, (Snyder or Swanson depending on which one you think that is) they are now fending off all threads and warning of banning people cause they have lost controll. The Lavar thread has blossomed into a real monster. The skins also have already used them on the whole George S. thing. So while this is a good thing I ask that the Mods please protect the site from over commericalism.

That's a great point, CRT3, and I can assure you, the Warpath staff certainly has the independent integrity of this site in mind whenever we discuss doing something like this.

While we've agreed to help promote Tony's show by prominently linking his site on TheWarpath.net, we haven't made-- nor will we ever make-- any agreements with any outside parties that would compromise editorial control of our forums, or alter the overall appearance, atmosphere and quality of our site.

Many members of the Redskins media, such as Tony, are familiar with the poor manner in which the Redskins handled the fan website situation during training camp, and I think they empathize with us. The Redskins alienated and ostracized the staffs of TheWarpath.net, TheHogs.net and HailRedskins.com, and perhaps in doing so, they thought the independent sites would simply fade into oblivion. By forming partnerships with established media personalities like Tony McGee, we not only augment our coverage of the team, but we fortify our standing among the Redskins fan base as one of the best sources for independent Redskins coverage, and ensure that TheWarpath.net will continue in that role for many years to come.

It may also surprise you to know (as it did me) that many people consider our original content and (typically) respectful tone to be a standout feature of the site. As much as we are all very excited about our partnership with Tony McGee, all the moderators here know that the real value in this site is with our quality membership and the hard work and deep thought that you all put into your posts.

Now, back to my favorite pie...

Setting the DVR up to record each week, because I mean, how many people ar up at 11:30am on Saturday mornings?!?! ;)

Will Tony's show be available in the film room for viewing at our leasure or does that take up to much bandwitdh?

Joe Crisp ~ Thanks for being aware. I am a fairly new member here and you gys have been fantastic as to keeping the site normal. Not kicking out everybody for differing views. (Except Zack Mills) Great job.

Thanks for noticing our work. I think I can count on one hand the number of people who have been banned, and it's never been for a problem with their opinions (Ask la73hof, D'BOYZ, or 5RINGS if we're a relatively tolerant bunch).

As for putting the show up, we'd not only kill all of our bandwidth, but much of the reason we made this partnership was to draw attention to Tony's show, not take viewers from it.

this is awesome :food-smil :food-smil

As one of the most workshy mods I'd like to say how much more workshy the efforts of the other mods make me look.

Truly an excellent effort. :biggthump
