Wasn't it Mitch who coined "Dobermans". I swear it was him. His quote was "These guys play like rough ridin' Doberman Pinchers. They'll rip your rough ridin' face off."

I thought I remember him saying that.

I do give him the nod on the dobermans, however.

Remember ACDC? Aaron Collier ? and DC were always climbing the purple ladder.  Mitch is a goofy bastard and although I have never heard Chiefs Kingdom i am sure it sucks like no other.  He got much worse when he went to the Chiefs, I guess to pander to the idiot element of their fans.  But Mitch is alright with me.
