Doc Walker says Cerrato would hate 2011 Redskins
By Dan Steinberg
Former Redskins GM and current Baltimore radio host Vinny Cerrato welcomed Rick ‘Doc’ Walker on his 105.7 show to preview the Redskins last week.
I know it’s a week old, and I know you’re all sick of my Vinny Cerrato posts, but this led to one of the greatest question-and-answer I’ve ever heard on sports talk radio.
Cerrato: “Hey Doc, has it been a peaceful camp this year? You haven’t had the McNabb and the Haynesworth things to cause all kind of issues and media attention?”
Walker: “Well absolutely. I mean, number one, you were a rock star, so you took a lot of publicity and that kind of stuff away from [camp]. This is calm now. Calm. There’s really nothing. It’s boring. You would hate it. You wouldn’t even understand this, because all it is is football. It’s just practice.”
I mean, Vinny invited Doc over, opened the door, shook his hand, offered him drinks and snacks, and then Doc dumped a bucket of rotten fennel over his head.
WOW that had to hurt...
They do say the truth hurts
Did the D O C go too far?

Considering Doc's position with his loyalty to Skins, I think he did a great job. What I like about it is that he simply answered his question and didn't just come out and say it.
Good job Doc.

Good for Doc. Vinny needed a reality check and to be smacked down a few knotches. Vinny had NO business running an NFL front office.

Doc answered the question and threw in a little more 'spice' for good measure
gotta love it
thanks for the link - did the interview create any issues?

I dunno man, I just think it's rude to be invited onto someone's show and try and start something. It's like going into someone's home or something.
Sure, Vinny was ineffective as a GM (try to put yourself in those shoes with coaches and schemes changing every minute) but to get slammed on his own show? It's unprofessional.

I understand SF55 but ...
he did not 'attack' Cerrato OR put him down BADLY - he was not rude
He was honest and giving his opinion
I'm not sure how he could have toned it down and still kept his integrity
Cerrato has got to have a thick skin - PLUS he has no sense of what Doc is really saying

Just like he had no sense in draft picks or running a front office!

I absolutely LOVE that response!!!!! Vinny Van Halen led us thru a decade of torture with all his big name big flop signings and poor mid to late round drafting when he had picks that is. I know we have quite a ways to go but I'm loving the way the team is forming into this very specific plan that Shanny and Allen have. Also the Big D is doing everything he should be doing which is a whole lotta nuthin.
