Deadspin
We never tire of making fun of the various post-"retirement" exploits of former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Freddie Mitchell, but a reader from Indiana tops them all with a story (and picture) he sent in over the weekend. Here's the tale:
I was at home this past weekend in Mishawaka, IN, and my brother told me that over the summer Freddie Mitchell was a substitute teacher at Mishawaka High School. Supposedly the woman who was his kid's mother lives in town, and he needed some extra money. He lasted all of one week, due to the fact that he was caught asking girls for their phone numbers. My brother thinks he's still in northern Indiana somewhere, presumably subbing somewhere else.
I've attached a picture from the halls of MHS. I guess he wore his NFC Championship ring around as well.
Freddie Mitchell, instructing the youth of Northern Indiana. We think that would have been entertaining to witness.

Does Fred-Ex thank his hands when giving underage girls The Shocker?
A couple more of these and FredEx is a lock for an '07 Deadspin HOF nomination.
I would say an arrest of any kind would probably do it.
He's just keeping it real.
Is he even qualified to be a sub? He wasn't in the NFL.
At least FredEx isn't wearing a Hollister shirt. You live in Indiana. You don't surf. Accept it.
That dude's asking for trouble wearing a Hollister shirt at arch rival MHS.
Hey, who moved the ads to the left side of my screen? Move them back to the right side, this instant!
"them cornfed white chicks got back... schiiiit"
what exactly could he be teaching?? the public school system in america is dying a long cruel death.
Odds the class Freddie was teaching was woodshop: 1:3,000
This very well may be the greatest reader story ever. Particularly the reasons for his dismissal.
Man...Perez Hilton is all over the place.
Did Mark Chumura send in his resume yet?
Emo-tight shirt but Jon Kitna bangs. This boy needs some counseling.
My senior year of college, one of my housemates calls me. "Yo, come to Smoke's, Freddie Mitchell's here."
Mitchell was indeed at the campus bar -- when he was still on the Eagles. After closing time, two random guys got into a fight outside and one managed to put the other one through Freddie Mitchell's windshield parked out front of the bar.
Mitchell returned the following night with Correll Buckhalter and Brian Westbrook.
And they say baby mamas are good for nothing.
my freshman year at Temple freddy would swing by one of the dorms weekly in a limo to pick up this smokin freshman chick........2 years later she OD'd on speedballs (didnt die)
The women of Mishawaka High's Senior Class would like to thanks Freddie Mitchells' hands for being so great.
I assume Fred Ex wasnt there for career day?
Let's just start all sorts of evil rumors about Freddie Mitchell, if only so we can get his attention.
I once heard him make anti-Semitic remarks to the cashier at a Denny's.
Hmmm....can't even complete a pass with high-school girls....poor Freddie....
Sexually repressed bassoon player would hit it.
Ad's on left, worlds colliding.
It's a sad day when Freddie Mitchell is the least embarrassing thing about Philadelphia sports.
Ad's on left... worlds colliding...
let me post again i hate you deadspin
Check Portage, Anderson, Fremont, and ... ah, hell, Kalamazoo, just in case he got lost.
Supposedly the woman who was his kid's mother lives in town
Wow...7 words to describe a baby-mama. Is this the urban dictionary translation? If anyone actually goes there to look it up, could you check 'space docking' for me too?
I've never been less surprised by anything in my entire life.
Emo-tight shirt but Jon Kitna bangs.
That should be the first sentence of Will's Wikipedia entry.
Wait, for real?!?
Why wouldn't he just go play for the Soul? Just think, 4th and 26 would be more than half the field.
(I think arena football fields are 50 yards long, no?)
It make you tremble to think that Freddy could be teaching-or banging-your daughter or son.
Oh...my...God.
Man...one serious job and he cuts the Halfro. So not cool.
isn't this somehow, someway, McNabb's fault?
This should really be happening in Ohio, not Indiana.
That kid is in high school? Is he on the 20 year program?
suddenly, marcus vick's post-nfl career is looking much brighter
Sarge,
It was the Frohawk, not the Halfro. Come on now.
Emo-tight shirt but Jon Kitna bangs.
I thought Kitna was bald.
The kid looks like a young Robert Paulson from Fight Club.
T.O. has said that Freddie shouldn't expect to get a text message expressing his sympathy.
Is it just me or does Fred-Ex look like Bubbles from The Wire??
Hey Freddie - TAG A FLAUTIST!
Is Mamula also teaching now?
Looks like Beck is making his move over by the lockers.
It has not been a proud November for UCLA, has it?
Hmmm..."First Down Freddie" was it?
Freddie and Shawn Kemp (Elkhart) are double teaming some girl, some where.
Ugh!
The People's Champ! 4th and 26 kid.
No mention of the Slot Machine's employment change on PTI today. Reali even claimed Fred Ex "hasn't has a job in a while." If that isn't a subliminal diss to the Underground, I don't know what is.
FedEx stay away from Penn High School and Notre Dame
Enrico emails me this tip from the beach, via the Los Angeles Times' coverage of UCLA wide receiver Brandon Breazell and his trials at the Bruins' pro-day workout: Watching from the sideline, along with a gathering of agents and other spectators, was former UCLA receiver Freddie Mitchell, a...
