Randy Moss, who is expected to be waived by the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday, may have alienated some teammates when he roundly criticized a post-practice meal in front of the local restaurant owners who catered it, Yahoo! Sports reported.

Various league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that the Washington Redskins, Chicago Bears, St. Louis Rams, Miami Dolphins, Oakland Raiders, Kansas City Chiefs, Seattle Seahawks, New York Jets and even the Patriots are among the teams possibly interested in claiming Moss.

Scratch the Chiefs from that list. They learned their lesson on disuptive locker-room types and they're too far from being a Super Bowl team to take the risk on signing another. Haley and Hunt wouldn't put up with it.

I sure hope the Seahawks don’t take him. At this point in the season, he’s poison to the morale of any team that takes him.

Not all - the Rams just retired future HOF Isaac Bruce's # and he has always been the first to credit his team mates for his success. Bruce is a God fearing classy guy.

I live in Woodbury. I’ve been there several years but haven’t tried Tinucci’s yet. I’m gonna give it a shot this weekend.

I risk having my post banned by the Admin Moderator - but I will say this.

Randy Moss is an asshole! Pure and simple.

I’ve eaten Tinucci’s food before. They ran a nice family-oriented restaurant over in the east side of the Twin Cities. It’s not a five-star restaurant but it’s definitely highly edible food. if I’m in that area and it’s feeding time (which for me can be just about any time), I’ll stop there.

If Moss hated the food, he should have walked away and maybe said something afterwards to his team-mates. But he didn’t. He chose to be an asshole and embarrass the team, the coaches and the restaurant owners.

Screw him!

Some friends and I are going to be heading up that way next summer. I’ll have to remember this restaurant and recommend it for either lunch or dinner.

Pretty sure TO was with the 49ers last time they went.

He wasn't. The 49ers' last SB was in Jan. '95, and Owens was drafted in '96. My brother and I were at that game - seems like a million years ago. Given the 49ers current ownership, it might as well be.

I will disown the Raiders if they sign this locker room poison again. He showed no heart when he played in Oakland. A great player gives 100% no matter if he's on a Superbowl team or a team with 1 win. Moss isn't worth the aggravation.

I give the Green Bay Packers’ management credit for holding the line on Moss despite pouting Favre’s disappointment. They knew the GB fans would never tolerate Moss. The side benefit was that Favre is now Minnesota’s problem. It’s interesting that there haven’t been any comments from Favre about Moss’s release.

Oh man, you beat me to it.
I was going to say the same thing about GB passing on Moss when Favre was there and how he (Favre) wasn’t happy about it. Which makes me think Favre had something to do with the Vikings signing Moss in the first place - making him partly responsible for the mess.
And, like you, I have been interested in the lack of comment from Favre about this.

And I liked the reason that Childress used to sack Moss - the way he treated those small restaurant owners who provided the after practice meal. Moss is a waste of skin and air.
