I wish someone would ask him about that.

That fumble against the Niners was a bad QB/RB exchange, more Rypien's fault for not tucking the ball in than Mitchell's. The QB is usually credited for those type of fumbles since he was the last one to have possession before the ball was lost.
As for BMitch the reporter, I always prefer someone with the courage to speak the truth. For those who prefer Redskins reporting filtered through rose-colored glasses, go see Larry Michaels and Casey Husband at Redskins.com.
