Yeah, he did.

This was the first contact with someone other than our own team, relax it was what it was a SCRIMMAGE not even a preseason game a SCRIMMAGE so just wait until we play Carolina on Saturday OK!

Throwing INT's against our own defense or the ravens defense is something to catch your eye. Im not saying the season is over but the INT that he threw was due to his normal problem of not having good touch on the ball. He's still working on it and I still think he'll be good for us this year. It does concern me though..

oh well im so happy that were fine on special teams again, what a relief, "rollseyes"

Huh?

There is a media acreditation process in advance at most outfits. They may not allow access for someone that says, hey, I am so and so and represent such organization on the spot... but you obviously are known to them!

But do you mean to say that they would not recognise you as "media"??? I am shocked and disappointed!!! Somebody messed up within the Skins organization. I thought you had been given "unprecedented" access the last time around when coverage was shared with the ES and Warpath people. Did they not say that they wanted to have DIRECT access to the fans, thus avoiding the Peter Kings and Nunyos of the world?

What are we if not fans?

In any event, I feel that we should write a letter to the Redskins asking to be registered as media entity from now on. Maybe we need to register the name The Hogs Net (THN) but we may have a lawyer or two in the US who can help. I have been thinking about suggesting name registration anyway.

In this business somebody knows somebody that knows somebody. I am sure we could get our case to at least be heard by someone in the organization.

Please do not despair. I know it must have been very frustrating. Considering the amount of work and support most of the staff put together, I would have been really, really mad.

Let us ask for permanent media acreditation.
