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.

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.
