It's football, not boxing.....that kind of turned me off to him. Let your play do the talking. Play football and shut up and it's carried over to his commentating. But it's a nice gesture on Snyder's part, he was a good player, I'm just not sure he should go up there w/ Riggins, Monk, Green, Dexter, Sonny, Clark and so on. Those guys were GREAT Redskins, not sure I'd put B.Mitch in that category.

Teams didn't suck so bad from '95-'98. Not defending Gus, but the team in general. The '95 and '96 teams were decent enough and scored more points than the guys we have now. The yardage the D gave up wasn't so good, but we did get a fair amount of INTs with MR Green and co. Ken Harvey was the real deal as well. Terry Allen was like #2 in rushing one of those seasons? The line with Lachey, Uhlenhake, and co was pretty good also.
