MattyK72...THE MAN

Cheers to Matt. I actually sent him a message asking about his hard work before I read this, so GJ there Matt.

I know redskins.com was voted best media website if I'm not mistaken. Do they evaluate forums such as this around the league if all teams participate talking about their runner up teams? It be nice to get him some recognition for that, beyond just us.

What MattyK72 has done is even more incredible when you consider what this site was when it all began. To develop this site from a humble Yahoo Group and build it to its present-day form is truly amazing.

What he has built is so much more than just a fan website; it's a strong, thriving online community of football fans, many of whom consider this place their online home.

He has drawn together a talented and dedicated group of contributors and moderators (and even a Graphic Design Pimp!), and he has allowed those individuals, along with the members they serve, to take a very active role in shaping and building this community.

At the same time, he has carefully preserved the essential qualities of the site that brought people here in the first place: simplicity of design, ease-of-use, aesthetic value, and last but not least intelligent, informed and civil (if not always friendly) dialogue.

We don't say it enough, but THANK YOU, Matty!
