Great info and history about the Warpath...press pass to training camp, that is pretty f*ing cool...too bad that got denied. Good good stuff Matty, thanks for sharing RP

Interesting to read the other responses, though it seems for the most part we're all on the same page.

Yeah the other site response to "rival website" was pretty interesting as well as other teams fans coming on to the site...i kinda like when another team fans comes on to talk smack and their serious discussion takes give good perspective....when it comes to a "rival site" its like whatever...there are no rivals to the WP...we stand alone on top

I'm a "Jersey" guy, went to school in the Millburn /Short Hills area and then moved down the shore to the Seagirt/ Springlake area.

Only Bennys call it the shore. If you live down here now it's the "Beach".

SB XVII got me hooked. Plus it helped that my parents ran a sports bar growing up so we had all the games every weekend.

Good tactic to get the owner to let you get past the "no promoting" rule...promote the owner!
