Great quote from Steve Smith on Freddie Mitchell

I think he's doing it because he knows it may be the only publicity he can get!

The whole Mitchell interview was a joke. I don't think he meant for anything he said to be taken seriously. Come on, who says "I'd like to thank my hands for being so great" and be serious?

The reporters were laughing when he was saying it. He was making fun of his past.

Of course he was joking, at least I hope he was. If he's serious he's got problems.

He's still annoying though.

NO way Freddie Mitchell is better than anything the Skins have. He hasn't accomplished much of anything either. If his accomplishments were only half as big as his mouth, the Eagles would be looking to establish a dynasty next week and not the Pats.

I do recall that Mitchell was the guy who caught the famous "4th ane 26" pass against the Packers in the playoffs last year. That was a big play. It may have been Mitchell's only big play.

With regard to his thanking his hands for being so good, I suspect that might be something that half the boys in the 7th grade might say... :cool-smil

It wasn't Mitchell and "Stinkston" that the PHilly press and the Philly fnas wanted to tar and feather. The other WR who they felt kept them out of the Super Bowl was some guy they nicknamed "Trash". The Eagles got rid of him. Oh yeah, he was signed by the Skins...

but they didn't cut him ............did they ? i thought we gave them a draft pick or something to get him. thrash was the best wr they had last year.

yeah, I think it was a 5th round pick right?

I'd take Thrash any day over Mitchell. Thrash was miscast as a starting WR in Philly. He's a 3rd WR/special teams ace.

I was thinking about this the other day of whether or not such a big deal has been made of anyone else with less than stellar talent like mitchell has. He says something somewhat funny while wearing an outfit that makes him look as if he's slightly retarded, and now he's making the most of his time in the spotlight and unfortunately the press, without TO around to talk to(thank god), is left with pretty much this guy cuz we all know they aren't gonna get too many exciting answers from the Patriots cuz they've been in this spot and actually resemble a classy throwback kind of team. and now mitchell disses the NE defense which completely shut down the Colts on multiple occasions and bitch slapped the eagles last year and then to top it off he wants to single himself out against Rodney Harrison, one of the nastiest/somewhat dirty players in recent history. freddie's not looking to good on the iq scale right now, but then again living and playing for phili for multiple years has been known to do that to have that type of effect on the brain.
