Brian Mitchell let go from ESPN 980

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.

Does it always have to be one extreme or another? The TRUTH encompasses the good AND the bad. Michael and Mitchell are at completely different ends of the spectrum which is why one appeals to "Homers" and one appeals to "Haters". Neither one is very important to me.

Hey, pugilist! What "5 clowns" are you referring to? I hope one of them is not Coach Thompson. BTW-I don't like every thing the FO does...I just don't feel the need to bash them at every turn. I don't think that constatnt negativity and borderline disdain for the B&G have any real place or purpose to a fan like myself. If there was anything in which I was interested, that consistently pissed me off or called for my disapproval...I would re-evaluate my interest. As I suggest some of the "Can't take the truth"..."Dumb Danny"..."Tell it like it is"..."Cerrato is an idiot"..."Skins are never gonna win with the FO"..."Keeping it real"..."I hope they fail" would be fans should re-evaluate their interest. Disagreeing with some of the decisions is one thing (ie: Doc Walker, Steve Czaban, Mel Kiper, etc.) but outright bashing (ie: B-Bitch, Pole-Smoking Al Koken, Andy Polin, so far YOU, etc.) is for haters and cowards. If I have have you pegged wrong...that's unfortunate.

I'm not a homer dude! I don't even listen to Larry "No S" Michael. I just get tired of all the FO bashing...I mean some of these dudes is off the charts. If I had to choose the local analyst I like it would be; Coach Thompson, Doc Walker and sometime Sheehan (spelling). I don't agree with everything the FO does but I don't feel the need to lament about it. Case in point, I really wanted us to go after Maualuga in this draft...we got Orakpo. Not what I was hoping for, but I hope Rak gets double digit sacks this year and each season after that for the next 15. (It also helped that everyone else passed on Rey in the 1st round...maybe YouTube highlights and internet research aren't as good as game film and face-face interviews:-)

Too bad about B-Mitch, I thought he pointed out the good & bad of the team. Unfortunately there has been a bit more bad lately than good so he sort of came off as negative when he was really just calling it like it was.

Did I call you a homer? I don't even remember referring to you at all. WTF are you talking about and why are you quoting me? I was replying to talby1027. Michael sugarcoats everything and Mitchell constantly criticizes the team in the name of truth. The real truth is somewhere in between.

I wasn't coming at you, Dude. I was using your quote to get at Talby!!! I've read your posts on alot of threads...got no problems with you.

Have you guys ever thought that Coach Thompson sounds like Don Cornelius from "Soul Train?" When I do take the liberty to listen to the show which is very little cause I hate B-Mitch, the coach's voice almost puts me to sleep, but I can't help thinking about Don Cornelius when I hear him.

I can see the similarity. Get Thompson to say, "LUUUV, PEEEEACE and SOUL" and I'll let you know for sure.

Well I actually liked and appreciated B Mitch as a voice of reason on the radio. Larry Michael is much more annoying with him sugar coating everything. I don't consider me a "hater lover" nor do I always agree with B Mitch but he was generally knowledgeable and very honest. I am sure a lot of Skins fans like Micheal more as he NEVER has a bad thing to say about the Skins. But truthfully is that realistic or thought provoking information he provides? I watch/listen to him because I am a die hard skins fan but I just rather have someone who will ALWAYS keep it real with me. That said B Mitch will be missed.

It's cool. :) I misunderstood what you were trying to do.
