Vinny Cerrato "resigns"

Don't get me wrong. It's definitely good news.

I'm just saying that if we woke up tomorrow to find that Snyder sold the team to John Kent Cooke, I'd be celebrating. THAT's what would get me really gleeful. I know it's not going to happen. That's why my enthusiasm is somewhat tempered.

 

As a Cowboys fan, I hope Snyder keeps Cerrato around as an adviser.

 

You will get you wish. Cerrato isn't leaving the building. He'll be in Snyder's ear, for sure.

 

Anyone who thinks Gruden is going to rescue Campbell or anyone else behind center in Washington is going to be sorely disappointed. His rep as a QB guru/genius should have taken a decisive blow two-thirds or so of the way thru this list of his starting QBs in Tampa:

Brad Johnson
Rob Johnson
Shaun King
Brian Griese
Chris Simms
Bruce Gradkowski
Tim Rattay
Jeff Garcia
Luke McCown

Guy is perversely entertaining on MNF, but batshit fucking crazy on the sidelines. He's not exactly what an unstable franchise needs.

 

Go away, asshole! Softstra football's not walking through that door....

 

I'm not surprised Cerrato is gone, I'm just surprised another hire has been made before the head coaching candidates have been brought in, although if you believe the reports, Snyder has already talked to Shanahan. I don't see Shanahan going anywhere unless he brings in his own GM.

 

Ooooo, that's cold. But good. (For the record, I don't wish death on Dan Snyder really, but I do say three words. SELL. THE. TEAM.)

 

With Allen as his "GM", Shanahan will likely have control on personnel moves. And if that's true, and Shanahan is offered big bucks, don't think for a second he'd turn it down.

Still holding out hope for Gruden, but that ship seems to be sailing away...

 

Local Fox affiliate reporting Shanahan was dropped off at Redskins Park today at 10 a.m.

If I'm Zorn, I burn the building down on my way out. What a POS Snyder is. Don't get me wrong, I think Zorn is a crappy, weak head coach. But no one deserves to be treated like he has this year. Utter crap.

 

Dave Dononvan sure is busy today. Telling Fox to retract it. Yelling at Florio over the phone. Dude's a grade A scumbag.

 

Worst PR department in professional sports.

The Raiders are a close second, for very different reasons.
