The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

Because inquiring minds want to know -- well, at least I want to know! Some of them are obvious, but some not so obvious; so tell me.

Mine is a mixture of my fave cartoon character [TAZ - Looney Toons] and my own name [LAH - SheLAgH].

I KNOW you crazy Redskins Fans have better stories than mine, so fess up -- How'd you get your name?

Pure 'n simple for me--being a complete newshound and surfing the net constantly for Redskins (and other) news, it was just a natural to flip it over to NewsHog! And it sorta made sense as my title as official news-gatherer for TheHogs.net.

How'd I come up with BossHog?

1. You live with me, it should be pretty self-explanatory

2. It just seemed like the logical monnicker for the webmaster of TheHogs.net

3. Ego

I vote #3.

I just quickly came up with mine....obviously I live in Texas and there aren't many Skins fans in these here parts

Lots of hogs though!

Newshog -- you've obviously met BossHog before! In a prior life maybe????? LOL!

Naw, just picked it up through our e-mails. I can't imagine what it would be like in person.

If the Boss wasn't like he was, nothing would ever get done around here.

Is an explanation really necessary?

Anyhow, i picked up the 'freak' part from a guy I used to work with and now it's a common moniker in all my on=line personae.

No RedskinsFreak, an explanation wasn't really necessary for your name!!! Your name is DEFINITELY self-explanatory! I suspect you grabbed a moniker that many 'Skins fans would want!!!

Thanks for sharing!

I live in Ohio and I'm a die hard skins fan. Thus OhioSkinsFan.

hehehe....well....been a Skins Fan (super fan even) for 33+ years AND....I'm a "chic" = SkinsChic (only natural)

Riggins is my all time favorite Redskin.Ive got a pic of him running for the TD in the Super Bowl in my Sports-computer room.

Jeez, I feel so left out. Mine is just a child-hood memory, my aunts always told me "you're gonna be a heart-breaker".

Billy boy was the very first player I admired. I started following the Skins in 73...just after the SB doohh!.

My dad was a lifelong Skins fan and when I started understanding football they became my team too. Kilmer's gutsiness just really stuck with me all these years even though Theismann is probably my favorite all time Redskin QB. For some reason, the image of Kilmer and the Bandaid just typified what I felt the Skins should be...Warriors.

My name translates from college days and the informal "frat" moniker given to my freshmen class, still an "Ogre" after all these years.

even though this is an old post, i'll explain mine. i'm not a satanist or anything. i signed up on the cbs sportsline board as hailskins.... but it was taken, so the computer offered that hailskins66 was available, so i took it. some time later i was talkin complete TRASH to a cowboy fan, and another user said as much crap as i talk i should change my name to hailskins666, which i immediatly did so, and its what i use on every board i sign up for now.

Woohit = what Lavar calls his hits that cause all of FedEx field to go 'Oooooooooo!'

Then 56 for Lawrence Taylor.

haha. JUST KIDDING. For the MAN himself of course. 56 will be known for more than just LT by the time he is done.

I wanted to bump this up since we have many new faces and being the ever-curious tazlah, inquiring minds want to know: Just how did you come up with your theHogs.net name?

I am a Deputy Attorney General (i.e., criminal prosecutor) and I view my primary responsibility is to do "justice" each and every day.

I contemplated the name of "Law Hog"; however, there are a lot of lawyers out there that practice law....that don't necessarily care about "justice".

I am proud of what I do and I can sleep soundly each and every night because I know that each and every day I try to do the "right" thing...playing by the rules and, if that results in me sending a very bad, dangerous person away for many, many years.....all the better!

BH,

Now that the original is back are you going to put a #2 by your call name??

Never. Well not until he takes issue with me personally.

Then I'll gladly do it... and I'll have talked to Joe Freakin Bugel man.

er, sorry.

Sarcastic Hog lends to my charismatic outlook on everything... Skinz74 is just logo + birthdate. Maybe when Boss gets everything changed over, I'll be able to switch my name to SH and keep my avatar/posts.

yea, not exactly sure i ever want to visit deleware now.
