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.

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!

I don't think anyone is like that except Larry Michael. And no one says you have to listen to 980am. You can listen to The Junkies on 106.7fm or Comcast Sports Net. Plus Steve Czaban and Andy Pollin on the sports reports do not hold back on ripping the Redskins and neither does Doc Walker.

Thank you. I posted the same this on the first page but no one wants to read they just want to be emotional.


And b-mitch honestly deserved it. He doesn't add any value to the network. I really wish he took CP up on that fight; B-mitch would be nothing less than hospitalized in about 2 minutes.

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

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.

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:-)

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.

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.

CRedskinsRule steals my thoughts and posts them all the time. It's eerie man. Shhhhh. He may be tuning in right now.

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.

[skindeep]

b mitch is right on some thing he says. but i think he goes overboard at times, maybe he still thinks he can play.if i rember right he never had any explosiveness at least while he was in our uniform.maybe he thinks he got a bad deal getting cut,and theres is probably a little jealousy of portis he hates clinton, but he is more negative than any thing, thats just my thought on the matter.i thought he nickled and dimed his way into 2 the record books.hell i dont know 2 much on him because he was just a disappiontment 2 me on and off the field.

[cobracai1]

I really dont think it has anything to do with snyder personally. Its been mentioned but Al Koken was let go too. He is the most knowledgable hockey guy on 980 and really is not a snyder basher so I think its just all around cuts. Good luck to him
