Mike Mitchell was livid Wednesday afternoon, and that was before NFL commissioner Roger Goodell agreed to a new contract. Wonder how entertaining his interview after practice might have been if he had known that.
Still, the outspoken safety had plenty to say on the state of football in America after a violent weekend that jolted the sport. Mitchell started by channeling Pro Football Hall of Famer Jack Lambert, who famously said “they’ll be putting skirts on quarterbacks next” when the NFL made rules changes to protect quarterbacks in 1980.
Plenty more rules have been instituted in the past 37 years, and Mitchell is disgusted by it.
