I wonder if he ever unpacks his suitcase?

There are few sports teams as loathsome as the Vikings.

Moss = Diva

For all of Favre’s faults, lack of desire to win isn’t one of them. Nor is playing hard all the time.

I don’t know that the same can be said for Moss.

“I play when I want to play”

(but that was when he was considerably younger and more of a punk)

Oh, I can name a few: Dallas, Patriots, Raiders, Dodgers, Yankees, Mets, Cubs, White Sox, Green Bay and Da Bears.

By my standards, Moss is still young and still somewhat of a punk.

Perhaps playing with a lock HOF QB will make a difference.

I think Tom Brady is a lock hall of fame QB.

This frees up Tate to be much more active and a bunch of money to add a “bull back” or an offensive or defensive lineman. From what I saw this season Randy still had something but was not putting out a 100% effort. We will see how the Pats do.

it should be a good combo...a receiver who doesn’t run real hard combined with a QB who no longer can get the ball deep...

It’s a done deal supposedly.

“A trade that sends Randy Moss from the New England Patriots back to the Minnesota Vikings is complete, a league source told NFL Network insider Michael Lombardi.

The Patriots will receive a 2011 third-round draft pick in exchange for the seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver, who started his NFL career with the Vikings in 1998. Had New England allowed Moss to leave in free agency next offseason, it would have received a third-round selection in the 2012 draft as compensation.

Moss, who’s in the final year of his current contract, is scheduled to make $6.4 million in base salary this season. He wants a new deal, but he wouldn’t receive one from the Vikings as part of the trade, Lombardi reported.”

I agree. But what's up with that throwback hair he's sporting? He looks like kid actor from the Brady Bunch. ;~))

I guess his wife must be a Justin Bieber fan. But if I'm married to a Victoria's Secret Model, and that's how she wants my hair, who am I to argue with it?

Tate is very fast, much faster than Moss. He doesn’t have the hands of Moss but because of his speed and ability to get “YACs” can stretch the field and stretch coverage.

I was confusing Moss with Terrel Owens.

I think you have it wrong. Vikings are a desparate team. Patriots are a loathsome team. There is a difference.
