They've reached the top of the mountain with their affiliation with the team, but along with that it's brought a serious influx of idiots.

Plus it's a place I've enjoyed going to in the past. And I know they have some good guys running the show over there.

There are plenty of reasons why I care about what they do.

Thank you for expressing this, Matty. I've gotten a little flack in the past for what I'd like to call "good natured" ribbing at Extremeskins's expense. There isn't a whole lot of competition between us or any of the Redskins fansites, though. It reminds me of a joke (credit to Emo Phillips):

Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"

He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"

He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"
Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.

We all have a lot more in common than we have dividing us. I'm not about to push another Skins fan off the cliff because he celebrates at a different site than me.
