RIP Redskins HOFer Bobby Mitchell

[skinsfan69]

Very sad, a lot of these old great Redskins are really getting up there in age. I always loved Bobby Mitchell, one of my favorite Redskins. I read a book about George Preston Marshall a while ago and some of the things this man had to go through was astonishing.

But I remember when he went on the radio and called out Joe Gibbs and said he was going to lose the team. It was over Williams/Schroeder back in 87. I believe Gibbs went back to JS after Williams had gotten injured. What a year that was.

I don't know why he was never named GM as he certainly had paid his dues. Sadly he was passed over twice be Jack Kent Cooke.

I think he left the team on bad terms when his number was given out to some scub TE. It was total disrespect to someone that had given so much to this organization.
