Brian Mitchell on Redskins fans

[MonkFan4Life]

Yeah the whole "not a football town" thing is pretty funny. So if it's not a football town then PLEASE tell me what kind of town it is when EVERYTHING must bow down to the Redskins. Basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer, or whatever else may go on here doesn't hold a candle to the Skins. While they were a losing franchise they still sold out ! When he was in Philli and New York "The Big Jack" was still selling out, he knew because he came here to play.

Actually, in his defense, he said that Washington is not a sports town. He kept referring to the fact that Michael Wilbon had made this point on some panel, and that he intended to have Wilbon on next (this) week. He was really unable to make the argument himself, which is what infuriated Bram so much. He then went on to say, if anything, Washington is a Redskins town. But then he came up with this idiotic comment about attendance at last year's Dallas game.

Hopefully he'll address these comments again today, so tune in from 12-3pm.

Hmmm...maybe BMitch is a smarter guy than we are all giving him credit for - saying something blatantly controversial in order to get more people to listen...

Maybe he's right about there being THAT many Cowboy fans at the game. They must have stayed and cleaned up because there wasn't a Cowboy fan in sight for days after that clinic !

Hell, there wasn't a Cowboys fan after HALFTIME.

I'll have to show that quote to my wife. She's a Dallas fan & had never been to any dallas games before we went to that game at fedex. We were there early & walked around a lot. There were quite a number of dallas fans, maybe as much as 5-8%, but that's probably even an overstatement.
The crowd was crazy loud & never let up. My wife had tears in her eyes by halftime & was miserable being surrounded by loud Skins fans (including me) for 3 hours! Brian Mitchell, we love ya, you must just be trying to boost game attendance, cause there's no way you're right on this one!

That's nice payback for any PMS you've had to suffer through, or chick flicks, or any non-masculine thing she's made you endure.

Try dating a Steelers girl -- scratch that, her entire Steelers family! (If I have to hear that I root for a "loser" team one more time -- because until next season there are the Steelers and 31 loser teams -- Im gonna snap!)
