^Sorry. When I read the news, I started partying. I just sobered up enough to give my oppinion. lol. JK.

For the life of me I could not figure out why it has not been done sooner? All he ever did was bad mouth the owner, organization, and half the players. I understand people don't want to hear suck ups all day but we also don't want to hear negativity every radio session either, especially from the very radio station who is sponsored by the team. Let another radio station slam the team or have guest on with different views of the team from time to time but don't hire someone who constantly looks for negative things to say about the team.

Bye B-bitch. won't miss you. Go back to Philly where your loved and love to be.

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.

Kudos for a Soul Train reference. When I was a kid, the beginning of Soul Train meant that the line-up of classic Saturday morning cartoons had come to an end (Soul Train came on at noon in our area), so I always sort of looked at Don as bringing gloom to my TV. But yes, I agree that JT sounds like him.

The one thing I won't miss about Brian Mitchell is his consistency in complimenting himself (even through his very last show). I actually was listening to the show on Friday, and there was a discussion about Rafer Alston's slap to the head of the Celtics' Eddie House, and B-Mitch said, "You've got to keep that in check. I always did. Even though I was always one of the most intense and aggressive guys on the field, I knew where to draw the line."

C'mon. You can discuss the need for avoiding line-crossing without making sure to, yet again, plug how superior your approach to the game was. This I will not miss.

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

I want Riggo back.

No big loss, IMO. He's tha classic-ex-player ego. He sees everything through the prism of his own career. There's a lot of other fat they could cut if you ask me.

Really? I don't think Riggo is really that good. His voice is so annoying.

I found Riggo to be entertaining actually. I felt with him it was Redskins first and other sports second. Although the show maybe was a bit too positive on the Redskins, I think they did criticize the team from time to time. Whereas I feel that the Sports Reporters are too eager to criticize the team and I honestly feel they sound like pricks when they do so.

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.
