PleaseBlitz Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 BMitch is all skins. I loved him as a player and I think his radio show is great now and will get even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 B-Mitch was a beast I don't hate him one bit. He can be kind of annoying on the Comcast Postgame shows though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschlesi Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I hear everyone giving love to BMitch. But, i dont buy it. He talked smack about us after he left and every game he played against us. Why are people giving him a pass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 the management was in terrible shape when he left. If Gibbs were in charge, b-mitchell would be one of those guys he would not allow to leave.. Team player and hard worker. HEs a joe gibbs player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darc Requiem Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Yeah B-Mitch is still the man. I loved how he trash talked because he'd pick out the biggest guy on the other team and just go after him. It always took two of our other ST guys to pull him away. Passionate player, he always left everything he had on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseGoForTheWin Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Why are people giving him a pass? The organization was a mess when he was forced out. As I said earlier, we lost a lot of good players because of it. Another one to add to that list is Larry Centers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Mitchel was a great player. However, hes horrible in the booth, or any other sports discussion capacity. I remember listening to him talking once and he seemed to oblivious to basic football stuff, it surprised me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliMustDie28 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 There was one year in 90's i cant remeber which one. One of the years we had al connell and westbrook. B mitch was our only good player. Or at least he was the only only one that acted like he gave a damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuji869 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 B-Mitch is one of my favorite Redskins. I think he got a raw deal with the Redskins, Mr. Snyder cut him to make room for Deion Sanders after Mitchell said he would stay in Washington for the league minimum because he wanted to finish his career as a Redskins. How many athletes now-a-days says that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grhqofb5 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Brian Mitchell was a competitor during his playing days, and I think most skins fans appreciated that and understood why he left. He had no choice. These days, he hangs out on comcast postgame live, and he wears what appears to be women's lipstick. I can understand a mid-life crisis, but isn't this a little bit absurd? Seriously, he should moisturize too if he wants to go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Prime Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I loved him a long time ago.. When he left here with a mouthful of sour grapes it bothered me. I didn't believe he acted at all professional. Was extremely disappointed in him. I liked however that he swallowed his pride and signed the one day contract to retire as a Redskin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggoReincarnated Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 He was the kick returner on our Super Bowl winning 1991 team, one of the best teams of all time. For that, he's always a Redskin in my eyes. Its a shame he had to see the organization crumble after how strong and proud a team we were his first couple of seasons.

Larry Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 What people don't realize is that he is 2nd All Time in total yards gained...rushing, receiving, putn return and kick off returns behind ONLY Jerry Rice. Part of that is due to the horrible Redskin teams of the 90's in which he'd get a ton of kick off returns. Actually, his stat that got to me was when somebody mentioned that he'd led the NFL in total yards (rushing, receiving and returns) for three years in a row, and that only two players in NFL history had ever done that (three years in a row): Jim Brown and Gayle Sayers. (Mitchell failed to set a record of four in a row when Jerry Rice beat him by like 19 yards in the fourth year.) In fact, he was the topic of one of my two e-mails to Norv, back when redskins.com had a link that allowed you to do that. My question was "If we've got a guy on the team who's gained more yards that Jerry Rice, Barry Sanders, or Emmitt Smith, then how come he's only playing third downs?" (My other e-mail to Norv, after a game against Detroit, was "How can a team average 5.5 yds per carry, have a ten-point lead at halftime, have zero turnovers, and lose to a team that didn't score a single touchdown?" He didn't answer that one, either.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschlesi Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Hey Look at my avator- I'm officially camp fodder That is pertinent to this discussion. How about Mitchell is just another member of the jockocracy that keeps real journalists out of the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschlesi Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Mitchell is a passionate guy. He's always been that way, no matter which team he played for. When we was an Eagle he brought some of that intensity against us. But that's simply because that's the way he is.But it should be obvious by now that in his heart he's a Redskin, so he's ok in my book. So if a loved one cheats on you -- its okay if she/he comes back??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegionOfDoom Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 That is pertinent to this discussion.How about Mitchell is just another member of the jockocracy that keeps real journalists out of the media. Mitchell brings ratings and advertisement....some noob journalist off of the street will have a tough time....that is our reality and we are stuck with it.

MustangSteve Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Brian Mitchell was nothing but a Beast!!!! Theres not another Kick and Punt returner in the history of this league I would of rather had then him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dg28daman Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 B-Mitch was my favorite Redskin as a little kid. My first name is Mitchell, and seeing your name on the back of a jersey is a big deal for a little kid! Always a great player, glad he could retire a skin.

Res_Novae Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 He was awesome if only because he looked like a bobblehead doll after every play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 While Larry Centers performed well for us, I remember being conflicted and wondering why we needed him when Mitchell had been such a great 3rd down RB and receiver out of the backfield for us. It made no sense to me. I had always been a big Mitchell fan up to that time. That said, I Mitchell's comments after he was released that were negative towards the team and personalized everything remain fresh in my mind.
