Brian Mitchell let go from ESPN 980

It is official, Brian Mitchell has been fired from ESPN980 the home of the Redskins. I knew that all of his Skins bashing and Snyder hatred was eventually going to catch up to him. Dude's been talking sick out of the side of his mouth about our B&G ever since he retired...and on our local airways!That's why he got verbally assaulted and basically punked by Portis on the John Thompson Show. Although the guy was a good player...special teams...he has had almost nothing positive to say about the FO, or the team as a whole, ever since he was released after the '98 season. Thus, Snyder repaid his indignation with a second pink slip. Waived as a player, fired while retired. So long B...and I'm not referring to his name!

*Let me be clear. I do not think that Snyder fired B-Bitch for personal reasons..although I'm sure it didn't cause him to loose any sleep. I just find it funny that he was finally fired...it has been long overdue. The guy is a Skins hater, and provided no real value to the show. His firing was for financial reasons, but...doesn't mean I can't celebrate it anyway! Sorry Matty if the title was too misleading. It was my attempt at ironic humor.*

Maybe he bit the hand that fed him a little too hard.

Actually it was a cost saving move. Red Zebra is hemmoraging cash. Koken got cut too and I don't think Koken ever pissed Dan off.

Now we have more money to sign more free agents

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.

yea even though b mitchell sucked as a reporter, i don't think this move was out of spite by snyder, even though he was fully in his rights to do so.

That and Six Flags,sooner or later the Danny will have to sell off some assets to stop some of the bleeding.

Pretty odd that Snyder would order his firing the same week he extended an offer to induct Mitchell into the Ring of Fame (as he alluded to on the show earlier in the week). Are you sure you have your facts straight or just randomly bashing Snyder for a business decision one of his companies made?

That sux, I like a guy who gives an honest opinion and alot his criticisms are just in regards to the FO. I really didnt like it when he went after Portis last year.

I just always thought he was a guy who couldn't look at anything objectively. IE: when discussing Rock Cartwright's role as a running back, he would allude to his own experience and how kick returners "are much too valuable in the return game to risk injury playing tailback in the game."

I don't know who fed him that line of garbage when he was a player, but he should have known better than to regurgitate it over the airways.
