Official Warpath Rookie Welcome

SmootSmack · 07-18-2006, 10:15 PM

With training camp just a few days away it's time for the annual TAF's Official TheWarpath.net Rookie Welcome presented by Mattyk72 and the Mod Tang Clan, a time honored tradition since summer 2005.

We've got some new faces here at TheWarpath.net heading into the new season, and on behalf of everyone as we approach the 2006 season...welcome!

We all know how great this site is (many thanks as always to Matty). Besides joking about Question 3, pie, and other eccentricities we even give and seek real advice-construction loans, new car, buy or rent, traffic violations. But at our core, we are all here because we are football fans. And for most of us, Redskins fans.

And for those that have not been with us from start to finish of a full season I think everyone else would agree with me that there is nothing like being able to, at a moment's notice, jump online and talk Redskins with thousands of other passionate fans. Remember how the first thing so many of us wanted to do last September was race back home from wherever we were watching MNF to talk about Santana's two touchdowns?

I, along with many others, have high hopes for the Redskins this season. But I'm no Norman Einstein, I can't truly predict what will happen with the Skins. But I guarantee that no matter what there will be no better place to share the ups and downs than here at TheWarpath.net. And it'll be great to hear some new voices that have joined us in recent months. So again, welcome to all the warpath rookies.

Now...can I get a What! What!

hooskins · 07-18-2006, 10:45 PM

What, what. I agree, this is def the place to be, thanks to the mods.

mooby · 07-18-2006, 11:33 PM

What what! lol great intro, you make me feel so welcome here.

MTK · 07-19-2006, 12:27 AM

Things will definitely be picking up here very soon. Just a piece of advice to the vets here, let's support the newbies and try to welcome everyone in with open arms.

Sure there are going to be plenty of duplicate posts and topics we've already discussed 500 times, but let's keep in mind we were all in the same boat at one point.

I'll even try to not throw a tantrum about duplicate posts.

That Guy · 07-19-2006, 03:47 AM

this seems like a good place to mention that guys who've been in the league for 2+ years can't be put on practice squad

I must have repeated that about 400 times last pre season :/

GTripp0012 · 07-19-2006, 05:43 AM

This is the longest rookie season ever...and it hasn't yet started.

dmek25 · 07-19-2006, 08:11 AM

what about ramsey vs brunell, anything about lavar, T.O., and who will be the next head coach threads? thanks for letting me enjoy some good old football talk about my( and your) beloved washington redskins

TheMalcolmConnection · 07-19-2006, 09:29 AM

I don't know Matty. There's not a whole lot of controversy going into this season for once. Even though this is only my second season here, I'm ready for things to actually start picking up. Sometimes it feels like we're on Oprah after a loss where we all just whine and bitch.

TheMalcolmConnection · 07-19-2006, 09:29 AM

But last year, specifically the last six weeks were amazing.

724Skinsfan · 07-19-2006, 09:37 AM

WHAT! WHAT!

I have only been on the Warpath since the start of the off-season. I can't wait for the season to start (anybody else?). This year, though, will be even cooler now that I've found a place to share my thoughts and opinions about the greatest sports franchise with some of the most insightful Redskins fans there are. A lot of people on here do a fantastic job of posting intelligent and civil discussions and for that I thank all of you.

cpayne5 · 07-19-2006, 09:43 AM

It was just three short years ago that I was a newbie. Back then, Matty flicked my ears in the back of the bus while TAFKAS tied my shoelaces together. Yeah, not much has changed.

What? What?
err
What! What!

JoeRedskin · 07-19-2006, 10:01 AM

What What! I remember when I too was a Warpath newbie. <sigh> I was so naive - I thought TAFKAS was funny, Matty a mastermind and that Brud was a friggin genius. As I've gotten to know them through the warpath, I've realized just how wrong I was.

Seriously, as always thanks for a great site. Can't wait for the new season!

MonkFan4Life · 07-19-2006, 10:45 AM

Well I've been here since March and it's been pretty kick ass. I can only imagine what it will be like during the season. I mean when our draft ( Free Agency ) started it was crazy here and I loved it. I can't wait to see what the season is going to be like. Seeing as though that all signs point to the Skins have another good season then I'm sure there should be alot of good things to say.

Let's start with The Baltimore Scavengers and end our run of destruction in Miami !!!!!

OH SHIT, I'M LISTENING TO MY MP3 PLAYER AND ENTER THE FUCKING SANDMAN CAME ON JUST NOW !!!!! IT'S FUCKING FOOTBALL SEASON FOLKS !

OFF TO NEVER NEVER LAND !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I SWEAR I HAVE FUCKING GOOSEBUMPS ! EACH TEAM WILL KNOW TO BOW DOWN TO THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS ! HAIL

TheMalcolmConnection · 07-19-2006, 10:50 AM

HAHA! I love when it gets all testosterony (The San Francisco treat!) in here!! LOL
