The 2008 Adopt-a-Redskins Debate

My fellow HogsHavenites,

This is a crucial time for our nation.  Never before has your support been needed any greater than it is today.  Recently, my fellow blogger Skin Patrol advocated Pete Schmitt and supported him as part of his Adopt-a-Redskin program.  Now, while I feel that this program is a worthy venture, I do not want you to be decieved by his strong support for Schmitt.

I say this because, as recently as a few weeks ago, Skin Patrol had been expressing the merits of one Anthony Mix and as recently as a month ago, he expressed his (and I quote) "irrational faith" in Mr. Mix as becoming a fine player for your -- no, our -- beloved team.

But, when pressed, he flip-flopped his advocation for Mr. Mix in favor of Mr. Schmitt, and then tried to hide his deed by immediately calling for a Blogwar with Mr. Lee Gibbons over at The Redskin Report.  I ask you... what kind of man tries to cover up his wrongs by going to an unnecessary war of his own making?

Now, I want to make my intentions clear: I am, hereby, announcing my support of Anthony Mix in the 2008 Adopt-a-Redskin program started by Skin Patrol and I encourage -- no, I emplore -- all of you to do the same.  Your -- no, our -- faithful head coach Jim Zorn is already giving the issue his attention (Hat tip: PFT) and I ask that you do the same.

Now, while we're on the subject, I also want to point out that the Adopt-a-Redskin program proposed by Skin Patrol is really a thinly veiled attempt to rip off a fine idea from your friend -- no, our friend -- Blitzburgh over at Behind the Steel Curtain.

I want you to be aware of the trickeration of Skin Patrol so that you might foil his plot of having you fall into his carefully laid trap.  I want you to have all the information available to you as you head towards making such a crucial decision.  I ask only that you give this measure your utmost attention and deliberate carefully, while weighing all the options.

I support Anthony "Joseph Reali" Mix not for your -- I mean, our -- now, but for our team's future.  I thank you, and remind you to also keep informed of the issue over at Mocking the Draft as the pick of your -- I mean our -- Redskins will be up early tomorrow.  

I thank you again and, as always, HTTR.

Support: Make it known
I too will support the "Adopt-a Redskin" program giving it as much value as possible by supporting the powerhouse college football team of my current home state "North Carolina"(Penn St fan by association and Degree).  
The adopted players are:
The newly signed,again only to a one year contract, but always consistent Ethan Albright.
  38 Cedrick Holt, CB signed in Jan 2008
  72 Tommy Davis, Defensive End signed in Jan 2008
This enduring task should last until about the third week of the preseason at which point all my focus can be dedicated to the versitle and always present "red snapper"
I pledge to pickup any Drafted North Carolina players as well,  a few months watching the waiver wire while tracking the powerhouse football program known as North Carolina Tar Heels I can dedicate.

TexSkins is Wise
I think this proves who is the brains behind this operation.

I'm fully on the Anthony Mix bandwagon.  Special teams ace and he's about twice the size of any other receiver on the roster... how can you not love this guy?

Thank you for you kind words...

and I’ll respond using a quote from one of my favorite (and one of the very underrated) movies:

Tell ya the truth, I don’t think this is a brains kind of operation.

Are you saying Skins Patrol should be president?

Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
