Brian Mitchell on Redskins fans

Luxorreb · 05-20-2006, 01:41 AM

I was there and that is a downright falsehood. There were some Cowboys fans there and one tried to fight me. But way less than I've seen in the last 10 years. Crowd was crazy crazy loud as it was 28-0 at the half. At that time we wished em all merry christmas as almost all of them were gone by 3rd quarter kickoff.
Simply untrue statement by BMitch. Maybe under Spurrier, Marty or Norv, but since Gibbs return simply not true!

The only reason he is saying these outlandish comments is to generate controversy on his show, to engage Redskins fans in the DC area to listen to his show much like Howard Stern's audience were half people that were 'disgusted' by him. He has to stir up some controversy so that 980 can compete with Snyder's new DC media monopoly.

The stadium was rocking that night. That was such a fun game to be at. You would think a blowout would be boring but really that was more fun than a close game. It was a party the entire night. Our fans were great last year with the exception of raiders and chargers and guess what, those are the two we lost.

i agree with bsb.fed ex last season was probably the loudest its been since it opened(with the exception of the lions playoff game)that dallas game the joint was jumpin,and as they say,there was electricity in the air.but not enough to wake up the sleeping dallas fans

mattdouthat · 05-20-2006, 08:39 AM

I remember hearing when Gibbs first came back rumors of Brian Mitchell coming here. Was there ever any truth to that and if so maybe something went wrong and caused him to have some anger or bad feelings toward the team. Or maybe they were just rumors not sure just a thought

I think he's just doing his usual thing. Just trying to ruffle some feathers or something. I wasn't at the game but the guy who was going to give me and my sister his tickets said he was taking his grandsons but HE NEVER F*CK*&G USED THEM ! Anyhoo, there was a sprinkle of Cowboy fans there but it wasn't like the game in Dallas. If you watch the clip from that game the crowd erupts when Santana Moss catches those TD passes. Oh yeah, the guy who was sleeping wasn't a fan it was actually Michael Barrow ! I remember when the game was on they showed the "fan" and then about 5 mins later they showed Barrow on the bench sleep ! I was going crazy that day, MAN did I get drunk ! I wish I could show you guys the picture I tool when I went to work looking for Cowboys fans. I wore 4 jerseys, my flag, 2 pennants, 2 hats, and carried around my Redskins snowman for all to enjoy !

HAIL F'N HAIL !!!!

What Brain should have said was that Cowboy fans were well represented and that simply shouldn't be the case. Yes, the Skins have lots of Corporate and Lobbyist/Politician ticket holders but that Majority of fans in the stands have been and will always be Redskins fans.

andy1282 · 05-20-2006, 11:45 AM

I just wanted to mention one reason why there are so many cowboys fans in the reason. Many forget that until the late fifites(?) the redskins had no blacks on the team. I beleive they were the last team in the league to integrate. As such, many black area fans of the time rooted for whoever was playing the skins that week. Its only logical that many would become fans of hated rivals like the cowboys and eagles. I am not saying its the only reason, because i am sure there are alot of redskins fans in texas, but it is one that has been brought to my attention in the past.

snyder was right he had lost a step

RobH4413 · 05-20-2006, 01:22 PM

how many redskins fans are there at cowboys games in dallas? just curious.

EDIT: forgot "in dallas"

Master4Caster · 05-20-2006, 09:14 PM

I was at that game and the stadium was full of rabid, raving, riotous, rightous Redskins fans and damned few cowboys fans. It was one of the very few times since 1999 that FedEx was as loud and as rocking as RFK. Vibrating stands are a beautiful feeling.

But, Mitchell has a point. Up to last season, there were a LOT of NFC East fans in the stands. But that's a function of money, not loyalty. FedEx sells out every game by season ticket holders who are either true fans or ticket brokers. In the Turner years, a true fan was faced with the prospect of using an $80 ticket to see a team with a less than 50% chance of winning, or selling the ticket and watching on TV. So a lot of Cowboy/Eagles/Giants fans scalped tickets. Brokers sell to anybody. My company had season tickets and a couple of times before 2005, couldn't get any customers to go to the games. So those tickets went back to brokers - who sold them to the other guys.

In other cities I lived in, when the local team was bad for a long time, fans cancelled their season tickets. That doesn't happen here. People kept their tickets for the return to glory. I think that's next season. FedEx will be rocking from August to January. You watch & see.

EXoffender · 05-21-2006, 10:59 AM

Mitchell will say just about anything to challenge the fans and the team to do better. Even if it's true.

#56fanatic · 05-22-2006, 08:45 AM

I didn't hear what was said but I find all this a load of Sh*t. I have gone to many Redskins games over the years, mostly at Fed X, and I dont get what the hell he is saying. Name any stadium in the NFL that sells out 90K+ everyweek.......thats right, there isn't one. And to think there were more Dallas fans at the game than redskins fans, that is just plain wrong. I was there and had to scream as load as I could for the guy next to me to hear what I was saying. Maybe he is just trying to get us all hyped up for next season, but to say we are not a football town, that is down right freakin nuts. Whether its RFK, or Fed X (the big Ugly) all of the Redskins games have been sold out for many many many years. If its not a football town, how come the Redskins are the richest sports franchise in the world. how come we are the only billion dollar sports team. How come our merchandice is one of the biggest sellers. sorry BMitch, I like you, but that is totally inaccurate.
