Vinny Exits In A Fit Of Rage!

Well, not exactly a fit of rage….but, longtime Redskins Exec VP and friend of The Danny stepped down this morning.  Wooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

Now before you get too excited, Redskins Fans, let’s find out who his replacement is going to be.

Here is the official statement released by the Redskins today:

“We agreed that the franchise needs someone different in this position,” Cerrato said. “I’m thankful to Dan Snyder and other members of his ownership team for the opportunities I’ve been given over the years. Of course, I am disappointed with this year’s results, but I strongly believe that with outstanding draft picks and encouraging performance by our younger players, we have laid a strong foundation for the franchise.”

Gee, thanks for those kind thoughts, Vin – now don’t let the door hit you on the way out!!  Cerrato also said that he “had the pleasure of working with some great coaches such as Joe Gibbs, Greg Blache and Sherman Lewis” – Notice who he left out?  Yep, the Zornster.

Could this make room for coach Shanahan or some other tried and true coach who would take over all of football operations?  If you guys remember, when the Marty was brought in as coach, he fired the Vinny.  The Danny then rehired the Vinnie  after firing the Marty. Fun stuff.  Something tells me the Vinny might always be lurking somewhere around Redskins park, waiting to be called back up by the Danny.

Sure, he “stepped down of his own accord,” but someone had to start saving face.  Could it be that this is only the first Act to 5-part miniseries, supremely orchestrated deep within the bowels of Redskins Park?  Nah… that would mean conspiracy theories and the like, and none of that stuff ever goes on in DC. Like, ever.

So, time will tell the tale. I’ve got the popcorn ready and trailers have all played out.  Lower the lights and lets sit back and watch.
