Why Do So Many Skins Fans..............
 

Why do so many Skins fans dislike B. Mitch and hate Czabe for their opinions?

Is it that they are hard on the team they root for just like any of us fans, or

is it that they aren't more like Larry Michael, who sugar-coates everything?

A guy like B. Mitch you really have to respect. He played the game.

But it seems like everytime Czabe says things that might have really happened

and comments on it, Skin fans get upset. He's a fan too.

I know of no one that actually likes Larry "The Weasel" Michael.

Re: Why Do So Many Skins Fans..............
 

B. Mitch speaks his mind but at least he's pretty consistent in his opinion. So while I don't always agree with he's saying I can't respect it. Plus he's been there, so he can speak more intelligently on certain matters more so than others.

Czabe on the other hand is just looking to be heard every time he speaks. No matter what the facts are and no matter if it's a 180 degree turn from what he just said the day before. I've said it before and I'll say it again, as annoying as Czabe is on the radio it doesn't hold a candle to what he's like as a person. One of the worst people I've ever had the misfortune of meeting. Arrogant ass who belittles any thought that isn't his.

[QUOTE=saden1;458884]I know of no one that actually likes Larry "The Weasel" Michael.[/QUOTE]To be honest with you that's news to me. But I do believe you. It's just that I have never heard any body really bash Larry Michael in any kind of way, so I just assumed its because he is

KING HOMER. Although I disagree with some of the things Czabe says, he receives some serious bashing, for IMO is just straight forward analysis. He says things and point out stuff that LM would never.

Whoops. Damn apostrophes!!!

By the way, rumors are this is Larry, Sonny, and Sam's last year broadcasting the games on the radio.

Re: Why Do So Many Skins Fans..............
 

I really like B Mitch's "tell it like it is" (or at least how he sees it) point of view, but he doesn't like anyone disagreeing with him. I've heard him hang up on callers before when they disagreed with his opinion. I think what rubs listeners the wrong way is that he speaks as though his "opinion" is fact. Let me repeat, I like listening to him, but I understand how it rubs some people the wrong way. He comes across as a guy whose still bitter over being released. Heck, I'm still bitter over his release!

The guy I really dislike is Al Koken. He must have some dirt on the executives/program director at 980. There's no other explanation for that no talent a$$-clown to be on the radio! LOL.

You know of .....almost.....no one. I love Larry.
Gigantic homer, but I have no problem with that when it pertains to the Skins

Re: Why Do So Many Skins Fans..............
 

I have a problem with any analyst that takes their opinions to one extreme all the time. Guys like B-Mitch and Czabe are constantly bitching and crying that the sky is falling. While someone like Larry Michael seems oblivious that there could be anything wrong with the team at all.

I have no problem with LM as a play by play guy on the radio but nothing else. I gave up on Redskins Radio if its not gameday because he seems so phony. His show throughout the week is a waste of airtime.

I heard something about Riggo doing something with the pre & post game show. The John Riggo show was taken off the air this week but he is still with the broadcast co he was with (who ever that was). Something about a merger between two of them and to much of the same stuff so his show got the ax but he will be working with some of the other shows.

But when you constantly talk down on the team whether it's deserved or not it gets old and people will tune it out.

I think a lot of times we as fans hate to hear any thing negative about our team whether it is deserved or not. Some of us live in a sports world that doesn't allow us see that our team can do wrong or may have a weak spot, or etc.

Everybody that don't drink the kool-aid, shouldn't be hated on or considered bashers.

Rumor du jour is Mike Patrick with Theismann and Riggo

i think i'd be happier with that.

Re: Why Do So Many Skins Fans..............
 

I have always liked the honesty that B. Mitch and Czaban bring on the air. It's a counterbalance to the Pollyanna approach of Larry Michaels and others who just don't have it in them to be critical of the team. Guys like Michaels have zero credibility as reporters when they can't ask a tough question or give criticism when warranted.

Re: Why Do So Many Skins Fans..............
 

It will be interesting to see how B Mitch, Czabe, Al Koken, Doc and Pollin act if the Redskins struggle out of the gate. Cause now Snyder signs their checks and they've all been very critical of him.

Re: Why Do So Many Skins Fans..............
 

Doc Walker has been critical at times the last few years and he doesn't seem to garner much hate.

Re: Why Do So Many Skins Fans..............
 

I just dont think "Czab" is worth a damn as a radio personality. It's an elusive artform. You either have it or you don't. He aint got it.

Re: Why Do So Many Skins Fans..............
 

[QUOTE=GINeric;459138]What makes you love Sonny? He's just an old version of Larry Michael.[/QUOTE]


Oh no didn't.

Sonny Jurgensen is a Hall of Fame quarterback, and one of the greatest Redskins of all time. He is a legend in the booth as well, as he has been calling games for as long as anyone has been listening. He has been inside this team for almost as long as it's been in Washington.

Larry, on the other hand, is the unredeemable soul of a corporate boob, in the body of a carp. He is an incompetent radio play-by-play man. He is Snyder's humanoid Teddy Ruxpin. He is almost mocking the long time Skins fan, as the ever present reminder that there is still something fundamentally wrong with this team. He's all this and so much less, and the sooner we are past the "Larry Era," the better. He needs to go waddle back under the rock that Snyder plucked him from.
