Bobby Mitchell died years ago and retired 5 million years ago but they want to mention him now?
ST has been gone 14 years. Why not do this at year 10 or 20 of his passing?
Or maybe his 40th birthday?
Darrell Green and Art Monk will be trotted out like show ponies the next time Snyder fucks up.
I hate this fucking team so god damn much.

There are a lot of things that happened to Mitchell long before Snyder took over that would be frowned upon today. I wouldn't call Jack Kent Cooke a racist at all, but I would say he like a lot of owners were more comfortable with a white person in charge of his football team. Mitchell was passed over twice by Cooke for the GM job when he had been there for several years.
Then the shit w/ Snyder and passing out his number to a back up TE and then a few other things that went on, Bobby left the Redskins w/ a sour taste in his mouth. Very sad because if someone deserved to have his number retired many many years ago it was Bobby. To retire #49 after he died just disgusted me personally. I got to meet Mr Mtichell a few times. Such a classy guy.
This thing w/ Taylor is just another long list of screw ups. Kind of disrespectful to give a couple days notice to the fans..
