I just returned from spending the weekend in Canton with the Hogettes, and I was fortunate enough to meet the man responsible for this site....Boss Hog! As a person who has been around the Redskins for many years, and who has dealt with many Redskin affiliated events and websites, I must say that Boss Hog impressed me the most! I know most of you realize this already, but we Redskins fans are very fortunate to have a guy like Mark who is so passionate about our team and works very hard to bring us the best Skins site on the net!!
Keep up the great work and I look forwrd to stopping in here several times a day!

Hope to see alot of him, huh?
Welcome to the board HWS, Boss has set up a great little world for us.... Looking forward to hearing any intelect you would like to share.... just not as much as Niki
Wow...Thank you everyone for the kind words! Just to give you a little background on myself(don't mean to bore you all..LOL) I was one of Cory Raymer's coaches in high school and ever since he was drafted by the Skins, I have religiously followed them and become a Skins fanatic. I've been fortunate enough to meet many really great people affiliated witht he Skins, and I hang out whenever I can with my good friends...The Hogettes!! I started a product line called Hog Wear when Cory first came into the league, and have had a blast marketing the stuff out East with Cory's help. If I can ever do anything for any of you, please let me know and I will do my best to fill your requests. I have a few signed pictures that I am going to get to mark and let him do whatever he needs to with them, and I also will be giving other things to all the great people on here. I am a fan just as you are, but I am also very lucky to have a great friend as a player.
I look forward to meeting all of you at some Skins' games.
Thanks again for being so kind and welcoming me with open arms to this incredible site!
Welcome HWS. We to all like to genuflect at the alter of BossHog.... Look forward to talking skins football with you!!
RIP 21

Sorry about Jon Jansen. Itf it's any consolation, Cory had the same surgery last season and he feels great. He says that it's stronger than the other achilles. He'll be back!!
I was super happy to see Cory back. I am a huge fan of the offensive line, because they are the all-guts no-glory players that make or break every play. I was mad when we let him go the first time. He is a good center with good technique (I'm sure you had something to do with that).
As far as Jansen, I have had a day to get over the shock I wrote an article for the main page here and it made me feel a little better about it. Cory and Jon are built in the same mold so I expect the same results.

What do you say when a class act calls you a class act?
Thanks. Man what a great day I had with you. You made me feel very welcome and I am truly appreciative.
You guys just have no real idea what Hog Wear is all about yet, but you will soon. You all know I don't put many ads on the site... we do our best to limit them so that there's nothing but Redskins here... the ads we do have are to support the site's continued function or to support someone who deserves it... and they are chosen carefully... and we EXPECT you to support them if you can!!!
You WILL see Hog Wear stuff here very soon, because a) HWS deserves the support, and b) it's really cool.
Stay tuned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sean Taylor was one of a kind, may he rest in peace.

When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hold on....
Welcome HWS this is the best site on the net. I met Bosshog last week for the firdt time and He is a great guy. I look forward to seeing Hog Wear stuff.
"I never apologize. I'm sorry but that's just the way I am."
Welcome welcome welcome, HWS!!!! Can't wait to see the Hog Wear. Will there be a "thehogs.net EQUIPMENT" line made by Hog Wear (á la "NFL EQUIPMENT" by RBK)?
