From USAToday.com:

Former Redskins stud return man Brian Mitchell says his recent dismissal by a radio station owned by the team is not due to economic factors, as the team claims.

Mitchell told USA TODAY's Michael McCarthy that Red Zebra radio cut him as an analyst because he was critical of the Redskins. Station executive Bruce Gilbert said the move was "100% driven by the economy."

Mitchell made $150,000 per year.

"If you never discuss any money, or any changes in my money with me, then you already have your minds made up. This didn't have a damn thing to do with the economy," Mitchell told McCarthy.

Ehh, sorry to hear he's gone. But not terribly surprised. He's a nice enough guy . . . and was an awesome player. But on camera and microphone, he's not very articulate. Even being a Cowboys fan, I usually liked what he had to say. But the way he said things left a bit to be desired. He didn't come across smoothly professional.

This is all about Dan Snyder and Clinton Portis. Brian Mitchell called Portis out. Snyder loves Portis. Mitchell gets fired.
