Dead Money Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 With the gates now opening for online media sources, hopefully some of the highly valued members of the staff here will gain access as well. Press Release: THN Granted Access To Mini CampBy Scott Hurrey 2005-06-14 Years of hard work are beginning to pay off for theHogs.net, as the Washington Redskins granted the site full press access to the team's upcoming mini camp. The camp, which will begin Friday, June 17 and conclude Sunday, June 19, is closed to the public but THN will bring you unprecedented coverage. This development is the culmination of hard work by the THN staff members as well as the Redskins' continued effort to connect directly to the fans. Check the main page for daily updates, interviews, pictures and analysis of the day’s events, as well as wrap-up coverage at the conclusion of camp. For further information on this story, or information regarding the use of THN content, please contact us at feedback@theHogs.net. This article was released on 2005-06-14.

jimster Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 If they can do it, i'm sure someone here could do it. Maybe we could get Doc Walker to give Extremeskins a plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walking Deadman Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Ok, I'm guessing ES will be getting that soon as well, since we are the biggest Redskins board, to my understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WM_Marylander Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Would be nice to get a little inside access... though if the Skins are pulling another fast one with the OTA's, keep it on the down low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 I volunteer. If ES wants me to attend, I'll go. Twist my arm and all. send the press pass to my home address... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Guys, what in the world makes you think we DONT have access? Have you NOT read our interview/chat with Vinny Cerrato and Karl Swanson? Have you not read our interviews with Doc Walker? Lets be cool about this and applaud THN for earning the trust of those at Redskins Park... but dont mistake this for a snub on Extremeskins either. We are still the ONLY fan site who has had interviews with those who report directly to the Coach and Owner on a daily basis. When the time comes for us to request access, I'd like to believe that we would be granted the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33 Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 THN isn't bad. I used to hang around there before I found ES. Nice people and all. I applaud Blade for pointing out the actual access that we have had. I'm not jealous or slighted by this. Hopefully THN will have no problem with us posting their articles and all is good in the world. Remember, we're all about the Skins. Brothers in arms. EDIT:By the way, thank you Blade and staff for all the access you have given us. I feel honored to be a part of this community. Even if it isn't so exclusive.

Good point....not to mention Andyman (our secret source) and Dustin (all the goodies that come available at the Redskin stores). That's why I stay posted on ES, you guys always seem to come up with even more access to the Skins or things pertaining to the Skins (ie. season ticket upgrades-- thanks again to Huly and Pez for the info. BTW). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 THN does not have access it appears. By Scott HurreyOn Tuesday, June 14, 2005, theHogs.net released a statement regarding press access to the upcoming mini camp June 17-19 at Redskins Park. That release was based on a misunderstanding between staff at THN and the Washington Redskins. At this time, no credentials have been implied nor granted, as the team has not made a decision regarding our request. THN would like to apologize for any inconvenience this has caused the Washington Redskins and the members of theHogs.net. For any questions regarding this release, please contact Scott.Hurrey@theHogs.net. The original link is removed. Going to the main content page reveals this item. In any case, it is a dream for any fan site to be given access on any level at all, so, more power to THN should they be able to get such access. We will continue to provide the level of access we've been providing as well . Art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Jones Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I hope the Redskins grant THN their request and they get some type of access to camp. I think it will benefit the entire online community including this site in the long run. I would also like another perspective about how players are performing during mini-camp.
