Vinny Cerrato to host a mid-day radio show?

In fact he took the time to answer a question from me concerning a trade for Lions DT/DE Cory Redding during last years offseason.

However the grudges that JLC and other members of the Post seem to hold towards the organization is doing no one any good. If Mike Brown can't be driven out of Clevland then what makes anyone think that Snyder can be driven out of DC. I say just report on the team and when they really do screw up, call them out on it. The recent blog entry with the angry fan would have went over a lot better with me if I couldn't tell the Post's writers were bias (for the most part, Wilbon, Wise, and Kornheiser are all right in my book).

It is some classic JLC anti FO propaganda, but I have to think that launching this in the midst of the season is, at best odd timing and I've got to think he'd have better, more important things to do than talk to radio callers for 4 hrs a week. It just seems a little out there.

It's dangerous from a PR standpoint. If he is answering calls from fans (not sure this is the case) it could cause a lot of problems. Isn't there already a little bit of controversy as to who is making the roster decisions? All ten draft picks made the team as we all know. Personally, this just means I will have more questions answered concerning player personnel. So far now that "Cerrats" is the man, I like what he has done. People criticize the Jason Taylor deal, but it was necessary. I think his real challenge lies ahead in the next couple of years with all of the money and mistakes they've made in the past.

I agree. Some of the bad decisions of the last 5 years have his name on them though. I like what he did this past offseason, but he did offer 2 picks for Chad Ocho Cinco reportedly. Those picks were reported to be either 2 first rounders or a 1st and a high round second pick. The Bengals declined.

But yea, it's just kind of odd. Not a huge deal, just odd.

Vinny is on right now.

By the way, meant to post this the other day and just plum forgot

I have been quite critical of Vinny, but I must say I would rather listen to him than Cowherd. I believe that ESPN affiliates are required to carry Mike and Mike, but not C.C., so I say Vinny should go daily.

As for J-La, these other club executives he blabs with always seem to come through with the anti-Redskins goods on demand. If I were a league executive I would be loathe to provide such quotes to another team's hometown newspaper. I mean, I don't think it would be proper for Redskins people to anonymously slam the Ravens in the Baltimore Sun, for example. I mean talk about wasting your precious time. If this guy is so busy, why is he blabbing with La Canfora?

Good point. JLC needs to get a life.

If you are not currently listening to Vinnie's show on Mon and Fri 10-12, you are missing a good show. Good guests (today it was Jaws reviewing the Mon night game). BTW, Jaws MVP pick for first half is our own JC.
Plenty of local call in Q & A. Much insight into the team not readily available outside the Skins family. It is solid, and entertaining. VC does a good job as host
