Gibbs always talks of core Redskins, well it doesn't get much more core than B-Mitch.

I agree 100%.

I'm still pissed we let him go. The guy was here for our worst years and was the only shining star. As soon as we make the playoffs, we ditch him for clowns like Deion and Bruce. BM is the only ex-Skin that I ever cheered for when he played against the Skins, in fact ESPECIALLY when he played the Skins. Good for him for going to our divisional rivals, and for continuing to post solid numbers for years right in our face.

Luckily BM is man enough not to hold grudges, and I'm thrilled he will retire as a Skin. I also think he deserves consideration for the Hall.
