Great quote from Steve Smith on Freddie Mitchell
 

This is hilarious! I totally agree with Smith, who the hell is Freddie Mitchell anyway?? 22 catches, what a joke. He acts like he's TO, except he has the stats of a 4th string WR.

[b]The News
[/b]Eagles' wide receiver [url="http://www.fanball.com/fb/playerProfile.cfm/pid.1486"][color=#0000ff]Freddie Mitchell[/color][/url] refers to himself as the People's Champion, but Panthers' wideout [url="http://www.fanball.com/fb/playerProfile.cfm/pid.1632"][color=#0000ff]Steve Smith[/color][/url] is one person who isn't buying the hype. "Freddie Mitchell has 22 catches," Smith said during an interview on James Brown's radio show. "He's not a premier receiver. My son in flag football had 22 catches. That's the level he's on. [url="http://www.fanball.com/fb/playerProfile.cfm/pid.1486"][color=#0000ff]Freddie Mitchell[/color][/url] can't hold my jock. You've got to be kidding me. He's a joke." Smith missed all but one game this season with a broken fibula.

[/b]The funniest thing about Smith's comments is that one of his teammates is related to Mitchell. Panthers' kick returner [url="http://www.fanball.com/fb/playerProfile.cfm/pid.1621"][color=#0000ff]Rod Smart[/color][/url] (a/k/a He Hate Me) is the first cousin of Mitchell. Apparently Smith is still bothered by the fact that Mitchell was selected 49 picks earlier than he was in the 2001 draft.

That is hilarious. All of a sudden Freddie Mitchell is trying to be like TO w/ the media. The hair and the mink coat. He's just looking for attention.


I agree w/ everything Smith said. But then again, Freddie is in the Super Bowl and Steve Smith is at home rehabbing his leg. So Smith might sipping on some "hatorade" right now.

He was there last year so at least there even.

Did you all hear Mitchell after the Vikings game?

"I'd like to thank my hands for being so great"

clown...now we just sit back and wait for Curmudgeon to make some sort of comment about how Mitchell is better than anybody the Redskins have

mitchell is a huge bust, first round pick that sucks my balls. wow. what a douche bag. man i hate philadephia AND the eagles

He has a three year average of 23 catches and only 4 tds in those three years. You think a player with such a lack of numbers would just sit down and shut up. Maybe he will be winner of espn's mike and mike show, just shut up award.

Steve Smith is one of my favorite receivers! I love how he hates life and plays withthat passion!

This clown is one of the main culprets in keeping the Eagles out of the Super Bowl the last 3 years. If he and Stinkston were not so bad the Eagles would have already won a Super Bowl. What a joke he is...

You gotta like the Guys tie's though!! :Smoker:

I'm pretty sure Freddie Mitchell is doing it to be funny.

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?

The Patriots Respond to Mitchell

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.

One thing the Patriots don't need right now is extra motivation.

I'd be pissed if I was on the Eagles and some scrub WR like Mitchell is in the media shooting his mouth off, whether he was joking or not isn't the issue, the Pats have taken what he said to heart and aren't laughing about it.

Now Mitchell even has his own [URL=http://www.freddiemitchell.com/index.asp?]web site[/URL]

Check out the shop

Umm, wouldn't FedEx have something to say about that logo??

I was wondering the same exact thing Matty

I honestly don't believe there r any words that can accurately describe how pathetic that is.

"Now you gonna' make Freddie Mitchell slap a bitch?" HA! That outfit was priceless.

Wow, that site is definitely the most pitiful thing I've ever seen. As far as the FedEx logo is concerned, it is enough of a departure from the FedEx one to not be illegal, even though it should. When I worked as a graphic designer, I had customers constantly asking me to do "spoofs" of original logos and we had to consult with lawyers about trademarks,etc.

Anyway, Freddie will be in the sights of the Redskins next year simply for the love of his hands I believe. 22 catches?! Get over yourself.
