I'm with him 100% this **** has gotten old real fast. Pull those flags out take off the lads and count 4 Mississippi before rushing the qb.
 
Hidee Hi, Hidee Ho..Goodell's gotta go.
 
Mitchell is spot on. They knew what they were signing up for. If they don't like it or can't handle it, quit.

The league and teams, if they don't already do so, should have players sign some sort of disclosure statement when entering the league. If they don't want to sign it, they don't play.

I agree with him 100% and has been my take from the go. THESE players know the risk they are taking. The NFL is trying to protect them selves from the former players who didnt know the risks but the NFL did. Guarantee the ******* contracts and lets get back to playing football.
 
That's a beautiful assessment. I think the league is screwing themselves. Re-signing Goodell might be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
 
I felt Mitchell has been a lot of me me me type guy. I have gained a LOT of respect for him now as he has stated a very truth on the matter. I like his reference to the CBA and how the players have got to be better at what they want in the new contract.
lot of sense made in a short rant from him. I like he called out the media, Hasselback to be specific, but also letting the media know how they are and create some of this BS stuff.


I'm ******* pumped and I'm not even on the team.......................................................**** YEA

Strong language?? You don't remember Greg Lloyd's rant in the locker room after the AFC Championship game in the 1995 season.

I have that on vhs tape someplace...haha... Live on tv...something like.."This thing here is for Mr.Rooney and let's see of we can win this thing again next year along with the mother ******* super bowl.
 
This is spot ******* on what I've been saying ever since Roger decided to bitchify the NFL.

Thank you, Mike Mitchell... Also, thank you for calling out Matt Hasselback.. he is the worst.
 
I agree with him, but how much does he get fined once ol' Roger sees it?

Oh, and Mitchell still sucks.

Glad to see a player call it like it is.

But this will probably push the nfl to crack down on the Steelers even more

His very last sentence in the interview says it all: “Steelers vs. the world.”

At times it seems like that. This friend of mine, who is NOT a steelers fan, thinks it's perfectly OK that JuJu gets a game off and the Cincinnatti player doesn't.........how th **** could you think that??? His reasoning was that AB got right up and Burfdefect didn't. smh

I call this the "Hockey Effect". Player doesn't get up/is injured: "The world is watching. We must appear as if we care about player safety". Player gets up/isn't injured: "What infraction? That wasn't so bad". Happens all the time in the NHL and it seems to be the direction the NFL is heading. smh
 
Isn't it typical the TV media all over this game over actually two plays as if it was the end of the world. Mitchell at least had some big ones and let it out for all to hear, he is correct in everything he said. The NFL eyes have shown in the last three week how bias they have become. Two players chase each other down the side lines and fight in middle of field get one game, a TE in NE runs full bore hitting a guy laying on the ground one game. JUJU gets a one game for leading more with shoulder than helmet gets a game and then a CINN player clearly leads with helmet in end zone gets zero. I get the taunting call but come on in my eyes taunting could be called 50 times a game.
 
Mitchell seems like a realist and I respect that. Still not a fan of his play on the field though.
