Back in the game baby!!!

Redskins nation rejoice!!! If there has been one thing over the past decade-plus that has brought out the rage in your average Skins fan, it would have to be the the work of team owner Dan Snyder and pseudo-GM Vinny Cerrato. Now, wishful thinking for Snyder to somehow relinquish his stranglehold on team progress is a lost cause, but Cerrato's removal is certainly within the realm of possibility. For years, however, Snyder & Cerrato were as inseparable as chicken wings and blue cheese.

Well today's news brings the dawn of a new day as it has been released that Vinny Cerrato has resigned from his position, stating that "We agreed that the franchise needs someone different in this position".

Fan-fucking-tastic. I have been waiting for this for so long that I'd almost forgotten. Bad personnel decisions, wasted draft picks, bloated contracts to aging veterans, those have all been staples of the Cerrato method.

This isn't to say that roster decisions going forward won't be equally putrid as Snyder will still be there and has been known to stick his mits in everything. However, the recent fan outrage may have finally taught him something. We can only hope.

To be honest, the news comes as somewhat of a surprise. The team is finally starting to pull things together in these last few weeks of the NFL season. The offense is starting to click and they gave a number of good teams a run for their money. Of course, bad teams always find a way to lose, but it does end the season on a good note that, hopefully, will carry forward to next season.

However, this team has been awful for over a decade, and I for one have no regrets in seeing Vinny go. So good luck to you Mr Cerrato. I hope you find employment again, soon. Perhaps you should look at the Cowboys. Just sayin'.
