Johnny Mitchell< a former NFL TE under BB, reaps lavish praise.. shh!! He works for ESPN

[DarrylS]

He works for ESPN Brazil, and was coached by BB in the 90's... nice to see someone from the four letter network giving praise... maybe he did not get the memo.

A little levity is good for all of us..

“Coach, I want to talk about six Super Bowl appearances," Mitchell said. "People don’t realize, I was on a team that was 1-15 and it really takes your spirit out of the game, really, in many ways. I want to celebrate you as a coach, as one of our pioneers in sports, period, because the Super Bowl I feel is the most difficult, the most challenging task of all the major sports. How do you want to be remembered, your legacy coach? I think that’s important and we’re overlooking the most important thing, your accomplishments. Thank you.”

That was Mitchell? He was always pretty decent when he worked for Sky over here, hasn't been on in a couple of years - now I know why! He got himself a full time gig in Brazil, good on him.

Coach's response was the best.
