My thoughts too. I don't know but I'm guessing that NO other GMs in the league do this. I would think Vinny C should be pretty busy w/....hmmm...I don't know.....FOOTBALL!!!

This is pretty ridiculous. It's the middle of the season in the NFL and in college I would imagine there's plenty of other things to do other than host a radio show.

I'll name one...how about getting together a list of young, up and coming, diamonds in the rough, that could be coaching candidates in the future.

I think some, give VC some slack b/c he's employed by the skins and they're using their B&G colored glasses to see the glass half full. It's not half full w/ Vinny. He has a losing record here. That's about all that matters.

In the offseason, maybe. In season, no. Bad move by the Skins on this one.

I don't really see the utility of JLC running off at the mouth about how foolish a move it is, I think he would be better served to just state that VC will have a 2-hour show on 980 twice a week and leave it at that. As you say, the foolishness and profit-over-football mentality (or, perhaps more fairly, desire for maximum media exposure with a naive belief that it will not impact football operations) should just be readily apparent.

I'm not taking up for JLC but he's a beat reporter and gets paid to have some opinions. There are alot of people w/ negative opinions about our FO.

I just think it's odd. Do other GM's do it? Who cares what VC sais anyway b/c it's just FO speak generally. I don't really trust the guy based on a number of different reported situations over the last few years but that's not the point.

Hey, VC is actually ok to listen too on the radio. The point is...why? Is this now in the job description now of VP of football ops? Very odd.

I would be more concerned if it were during the offseason. Right now and through the season the rosters are fairly set, the scouts are at the college games, but after we win the Superbowl, he will need to be focused on next season and beyond.
Of course having never been a GM I am only speculating...
