HOLY CRAP!!
Vikings need their own daytime soap.

Bill Simmons just tweeted: "Note to Pats: Sign Moss just so 'Pats trade Randy Moss to Minnesota for a 3rd round pick and Randy Moss' can run on ESPN's ticker."
If you're a contender in this uncapped year, it might not be a bad decision if you think he can give you the final piece.
That's good, since I just bought the patriots' Moss jersey. Now I have a trifecta of Moss' Jerseys..![]()
yeah thats what it seems like to me. im sure there are teams out there that want to push for the playoffs, and don't mind putting up the dough for the rest of the season, BUT, now it seems like that would be completely ill-advised since he has already shown he does not give a shit. Vikes gave up stuff to get him, and he dicks around. If he wants to be back in NE, its not going to matter who picks him up. If he clears waivers Minny gets doubly screwed. They are on the hook for the rest of the salary this year, and then he is free to play wherever he wants getting ANOTHER (smaller) paycheck for the rest of the year.If Moss gets claimed by a team NOT the Patriots, he will only be there one season before resigning a new contract with New England.
If no one claims Moss, he'll come back to New England.
Moss and the Patriots organization like each other - it was just a money/contract issue. Moss now realizes the grass is not greener on the other side and the Patriots are his ideal team to finish his legacy. My bet is Moss will be willing to concede a lot less money for a new contract.
That and Brady/Belicheck are the only combo that can get him to behave.
Reporter: But who will throw to Moss?
Mike: Moss.
Reporter: Excuse me?
Mike: For the kind of money we're paying him, he is going to play QB too. He couldn't be any worse than the excrement we have playing QB now.

Makes me wonder if there are any rules for this possible sabotage. Imagine coming up with a blockbuster trade to your rival, they give up picks for your superstar. Then he goes there and basically says, I don't want to practice, don't want to play, don't want to be in your city. Ruins the cap of your rival for the year (in a capped year). Steals their draft picks. Becomes a completely toxic asset to any other team so he can clear waivers back to original team. And even if a team is stubborn enough to keep him on the roster out of spite, he STILL becomes a free agent at the end of the year and can go back to the original team and collect his treason payday.

IF he resigns, does the price of his jersey go back up to regular price?![]()
I do wonder what would actually prevent the Patriots from doing this. It seems like a longshot, but what's really going to stop them from purposely trading Moss away only to have him tell every team that he won't play for them so he eventually makes it back to the Pats? Of course, they seem to be doing fine without him, and I don't think they actually want him back. But at this point they're probably pretty happy with the decision they made to trade him. And Minnesota, as usual, is left holding the short end of the stick.
Troy Smith looked solid this week....
It's just so stupid and beyond the realm of comprehesible that Jerry Jones just might go for it! But I think Jerry is too busy trying to get Mike Vick from the eagles![]()
Maybe Al Davis will kiss and make up with Randy and bring him back to the silver and black.....
I'd say the odds that Childress gets shitcanned before/at the end of the season just increased significantly, unless he finds a way to win out.
With their season circling the drain, "Chilly" realizes that he has to pretend like he has some balls in order to save his job, which is hanging by a thread. Therefore, after Randy's shenanigans yesterday, he is the perfect sacrificial lamb for "Chilly" showing how "tough" he is.
