That being said, I liked B-Mitch in the Post Game Live segments on Comcast. I thought most of what he said was honest & direct. he didn't sugar coat anything. He pointed out our mistakes & was usually on point with them. He also praised us when there was praise to be given. Several games at the beginning of last season, he was very impressed with how we were playing. He also pointed out that there were things that we needed to improve upon or teams in the League would take advantage of our weaknesses. Guess what? He was right. He wasn't a Homer, there is no doubt about that. But that's ok. I would rather have someone tell me the truth then dance around the subject & act like everything is ok, when it clearly is not.

BTW, I think they should get Emmitt Smith to replace him. That would be pure entertainment, listening to him butcher the English language mercilessly everyday. Priceless.
You are right on all of those points. And I'm one of those taht believes in hearing the truth. But certain people can get away with be straight up about things and certain cannot. Say for example Doc or coach Thompson can get away with saying pretty much what they want outside of getting an SEC violation. However BMITCH is not one those people. And I'm not sayiing this to be fact but if you are limited in other sports areas this makes you easy to let go.
