Brian Mitchell claims that his recent firing from a radio station wasn't because of the tough economic times. Mitchell claims that Red Zebra radio let him go because he was critical of the Redskins. He is a former member of the team, and 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 USA Today.
