Another egotistical move by Danny Boy. Look, I only know B-Mitch from Redskins Post Game Live. My take on B-Mitch is that he spoke the truth and just said things as they were. If the Redskins played well, he acknowledged it. If they played poorly, he reflected on all the mistakes they made. What's so bad about that?

Is he supposed to commend an owner (Dumb Snyder) and his sidekick (Dumber Cerrato) for mediocre achievement year after year? Maybe Danny can get his head out of his ass and realize that neither he (nor his sidekick) knows anything about football and should let football-minded people run the organization (i.e. GM). Stick to marketing which is more of your forte.

So, now, with B-Mitch gone, we get to listen to a season of sugar-coated post game analysis. "Well, the Redskins lost 35-14, turned the ball over four times, commited 1,350 yards in stupid penalties, but they showed a lot of guts, fans."

This organization is becoming such a joke! Excuse me, they're becoming a mediocre joke. 8-8 folks for the 2009 season. Mark my words!

If you don't like the B&G...there are 31 other teams to root for.

What about the Sports Reporters? That is an hour of DS bashing and you don't see Czhzam out of a job.

It is a cost cutting move. I wonder who will take his place on the JT show.

The difference is the Sprots Reporters drive in ratings. Czaban even has a nationally syndicated show, as well as the golf show on weekends. Those guys bring in advertiser dollars, so I don't think they're going anywhere. I can't stand Polin...but Czaban, although a pessimist, is a loyal fan. He just is sort of a prick about what FO decisions he disagrees with...I actually like him. Czaban is articulate and can communicate his view points logically (most times), unlike the unitelligible speaker who got canned. Czaban goes to the games, celebrates in the victories and gets pissed with the defeats. I don't see eye to eye with him most times but, the guy sounds like a fan to me.

Just making sure, you aren't saying that firing B-Mitch as an on air personality will cause the Skins to have an 8-8 record, are you? Because that would be a ridiculous assertion.

We've got a Red Zebra broadcasting station here in Virginia Beach, but I'm not sure it'll be here much longer.

Starting last week they replaced Steve Czaban's morning show with Mancow; now The Locker Room Show with Doc Walker and Kevin Sheehan is gone in place of Jim Rome, and the John Thompson show has been replaced by a FOX sports show with Chris Meyer. The only thing left is the Sports Reporters.

I think it may have something to do with football season being over, specifically the NFL draft. They did the same thing last year -- shifting to less Redskins-related shows. Plus, there's some dispute as to exactly how strong the Redskins are in this area.

Yeah, I might as well go root for another team too then. I mean who in the world wants to hear the TRUTH about their team week-in and week-out. Shucks, just keep licking their *** and saying how great they are.

Hell, we already have Larry Michael; not enough? Let's have 5 more of those clowns!

You are the typical Skins' fan: Don't say anything negative about them and just praise 'em to the hilt.

It has a lot to do with football season being over, now that station (and others around the country) will use the "down time" to meet contractual affiliate demands. I would suspect heavy football programming (whether it's the same as last year or different) will return in the fall

John Thompson and Doc Walker together should be interesting

I wonder if this will open the door now for Joe Theismann's long rumored arrival to 980

Sounds like a great idea. Joe T. would be a great fit and I hope he gets back to work. He talks a lot but he's too good not to be on someones payroll.

I want Riggo back.

Really? I don't think Riggo is really that good. His voice is so annoying.
