Re: Brian Mitchell let go from ESPN 980

Well I actually liked and appreciated B Mitch as a voice of reason on the radio. Larry Michael is much more annoying with him sugar coating everything. I don't consider me a "hater lover" nor do I always agree with B Mitch but he was generally knowledgeable and very honest. I am sure a lot of Skins fans like Micheal more as he NEVER has a bad thing to say about the Skins. But truthfully is that realistic or thought provoking information he provides? I watch/listen to him because I am a die hard skins fan but I just rather have someone who will ALWAYS keep it real with me. That said B Mitch will be missed.

The problem I always had with B-Mitch is even when things were going well I don't recall him having much good to say then either. I'm sorry but the guy is definitely slanted to the negative side of things. Probably just his personality but still.

That pretty much sums it up for me.

Re: Brian Mitchell let go from ESPN 980

Neither B-Mitch or Koken were fired. There contracts came up and 980 chose not to renew them. I think that people are confusing the team's financials with Snyder's other businesses. They are separate.

I think it is understandable that these would be tough times for a radio station and in my opinion I understand B-Mitch not being renewed. I don't think he offers enough insight on topics outside of football. I find him extremely knowlegeable on football issues but on most other topics, you could hear his opinions at a sports bar.

I think that Doc is the best personality on 980 but Thompson's connections are sick. He literally can and does have anyone in sports on his show. (Tiger, MJ, Dean Smith, you name it)

Best of luck to B-Mitch. I will look forward to hearing him during the season.

I don't believe it was personal. However BMITCH doesn't understand that he is not a star athlete any longer. He made himself expendable, meaning easy to release. And if he lucky enough to land another job such as this one, He will find that the people who listen to you matter. And arguing and fighting everyone that calls the show will get your head on the chopping block when you’re not as solid in the profession as everyone else.
