According To Vinny...

[Gravy]

He is a success...cause he has rings and the like...:lol1:

[Patrick]

I know that Snyder deserves a bulk of the blame but Vinny has to take some of the blame for the state of the Redskins.

[MDBluefinCrab]

Amusing but true, that's the sad state of this team.

[NamVet4]

These media types are afraid to take on Daniel Snyder head on...So they perpetuate the Vincent Cerrato "story"...What a joke - both the media and Cerrato!
Every knowledgeable fan knows that Vincent Cerrato is Daniel Snyder's toady butt boy who kisses his masters arse!

While the Redskins Team continues its dsyfunctional ways, this is the media pablum that will fill the childrens bowls...Sad ~

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/10/02/cerrato-responds-to-critics-by-flashing-his-rings/

Vinny says this:
"I'm gonna send all my Super Bowl rings and national championship rings and conference championship stuff and I'm gonna e-mail it," Cerrato said. "You know, I'm gonna send her pictures of all those, you know, because she probably doesn't know what they look like."


Yet according to his bio, he has worked at University of Minnesota (what conference championship or National championsip has Minnesota won?), Notre Dame (1 National Championship and they don't play in a conference) and the San Francisco 49ers (won a Super Bowl in 1994). So when I do the math Vinny has 1 Super Bowl ring (not Super Bowl rings like he claims), 1 National Championship ring (not rings like he claims) and a NFC Championship ring (that's the only conference ring he owns.) What a clown.

[JasonCampbell]

I'll admit I watch Redskins Nation daily. I enjoy watching Mouthpiece Michael try to defend this team. When I saw Vinny say that, I said outloud, "Vinny, you're a [insert strong expletive] idiot." This guy hasn't done anything at the NFL level by himself that lead to success. What a joke.

[BIGREDSKINSFAN1963]

if helping a pompous ass destroy one of the nfl's most gloried teams can be called a success,then by all means,vinny's a success!!!:devil2:

He's a Dallas plant. That's the only explanation...

[RedskinsDave]

Actually, Vinny won before he had control and each time he was given that control he proceeded to ruin the good team he inherited. He has the honor of screwing up two of the NFL's best franchises and one of college's most revered programs.

Also, when Policy left for Cleveland, he didn't even try to take Vinny with him. And when he was working for ESPN in 2001, no one bothered trying to hire him as the GM(or 3rd string mop handler).

That's just absurd. He can fill in an emergency situations...

[shally]

he is an absolute douchebag

[Gravy]

How'd we get so lucky to get Vinny...I heart Dan Synder!

worse still... we dumped him when Marty came on board.. then like a codependent, dysfunctional EX Spouse, Snyder just couldnt live without him and brought him back again..

disgusting...

I would love for Danny to come over here and take some questions from the members on this site...yeah I know that will never happen.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Vinny is Danny's fault.

Get rid of Danny, and you get rid of Vinny.
Get rid of Vinny, and Danny will hire another stupder (if possible) version of Vinny.

Only live ones.

[LATrueRedskin]

What a classy guy Vinny is. Showing off those rings he got while riding on the coattails of others. I got straight A's a couple of times in middle school, but that was 10 years ago. I don't bring my middle school report cards to job interviews.

Indeed.

Exactly. Vinny's actions are all Danny's fault, because he hired him knowing what he was getting and continues to keep him employed. Same with Zorn.


It's not like Snyder hired a competent GM and then that GM started to slack. He knew what he was getting, therefore 100% of the blame goes on Snyder.

A complete and utter bluffer.

And what you forgot to add is SF traded the farm for J.J. Stokes. Many draft picks Blown there and here. I guess some how thats not Vinny fault.

wow vinny is a frickin idiot.is he talking about his notre dame success?

[joethefan]

i don't think ole jerrah is smart enough to pull off such a drastic operation man,do you?:Peace::sun:



he did it with norv...LOL...that is what truely turned this org into a losing one...IMO..but snyder picked up the mantle and enhanced it...

[helimech24]

What a classy guy Vinny is. Showing off those rings he got while riding on the coattails of others. I got straight A's a couple of times in middle school, but that was 10 years ago.
