Mark Eckel, of the Trenton Times, reports free agent WR Freddie Mitchell (Chiefs) is still waiting to get back in the league and believes he is being blackballed, but does not believe Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid is a suspect. Mitchell said, "I don't want to say I'm being blackballed, and I know it's not Andy Reid. But somebody is blackballing me. There has to be something going on we don't know about."

Mitchell admits his health was a problem last year and said he is working out with Dallas Cowboys WR Terrell Owens in Atlanta. Mitchell doesn't understand why he can't land a job with one of the 32 NFL teams and added, "I mean, you look at my numbers, and they weren't that great. But you need to look further. Check out the percentage of passes I caught compared to the number thrown to me. I guarantee you I rank with the best in the league."

What? Are you kidding?

 

[Funxva]

Blackballed is better than... nevermind.

 

[THUMPER]

I ws really mistaken on Freddie Mitchell. When he came into the league I thought he would tear it up but he certainly let everyone down, especially himself.

Freddie has no one to blame for his not having a job in the NFL than himself.

Dude, I hear the Arena League is still hiring.

could be the dinosaur arms........

 

[JPM]

Too bad the XFL isn't around anymore, I'm sure he'd have a job.
Or would he

 

[ravidubey]

His mouth ended his career as much as his lack of ability. Good God: "I don't want to say I'm being blackballed ... But somebody is blackballing me"

Way to put the nail in the coffin. Enjoy what's left of your millions.

 

[AbeBeta]

Blackballed? No.

Are there less talented guys in the league? Sure.

But here's a guy who has a mouth that simply does not match his talent at all.

 

[notherbob]

Freddie's right about one thing - there's a lot going on he doesn't know about. The only one blackballing him is himself and he's too stupid to know it. It figures he would be hanging around with TO.

 

[skinsscalper]

Maybe, Freddie, you should consider the fact that not too many teams are in the market for a big mouth who doesn't produce on the field. I think you sealed your fate when you called out Rodney Harrison in the Super Bowl and he ended up with more catches than you did. Didn't help that he was a defensive back, there idiot.

Maybe it's the Sybill complex he has.

 

[DLCassidy]

In 2004 he caught 50% of the balls thrown his way, 59% for 2003. 59% is above average but not among the league leaders. Terry Glenn had 64% in 2003 for example. Fredex sucks and he's annoying- if you want to call that being black balled, then I guess he is.:laugh2:

And maybe you can get another roster spot on a team like the 49ers or something.
