Randy Moss to retire

[ThePresence]

Nice stats: Moss, 34, played 13 seasons, catching 954 passes for 14,858 yards with 153 touchdowns.

Say what you want about the guy, and I will probably agree with most, but the guy in his prime was a treat to watch.

To bad he is retiring with "light" fingers

It's about fucking time. Yes, he was a fabulous player in his prime...but last year showed that his heart just isn't in the game any longer.

i take it there weren't any teams interested in him for the price he thought he was worth.

That would be my guess, happened to Colt's receiver Harrison.

Translation:

Randy Moss couldn't get an offer from the Patriots and was pissed the Jets took an ex-con over him.

 

[American Gunner]

I am so happy he is done, and didn't get a ring.

 

[Scarpozzi]

I'm a Titans fan and was kind of irritated that they paid for him and didn't make him work. I guess he was just chasing the offer for another season to pad his wallet...

He definitely had talent when he was young and had something to prove....but once he got that chip on his shoulder, I lost respect for him....ohh that and him playing for a cheating team like the Pats! (sorry, couldn't resist)

His heart was never truely in it. He was a selfish player who ran half ass routes when he wasnt going to get the ball and rarely blocked downfield. A bad seed that had too many chances in life. Glad he never got a ring.

I am listening to the ESPN 980 here in DC and they were just arguing about how good he was in the top 10 list and one of the hosts has him at #3

There is no doubt that he's headed off to Canton and will go down as one of the best ever.

this is a shame, really... all the talent in the world and definitely could still put up some numbers this year, but previous posters had it right, he simply wasn't into it for the past couple of seasons. and boy when his head isn't into it - it shows

 

[SP33Demon]

Wasted potential. Imagine how great he could have been if he wasn't an unmotivated pothead. He would have passed Rice.

 

[aldamon]

I don't buy it. 2010 was a weird year for him, but he was fantastic in 2009. I can't believe the Pats would take a shot at Haynesworth but not Moss after what he did for them.

 

[TwiceOver]

At least he is going out with a SB Ring...

Ohh wait. HAHA FUCKER!

Who was #2? I don't know if I could name 2 better receivers all-time.

Marvin Harrison.

Jerry Rice and Tim Brown were better than him. He was a one trick pony, throw it deep but don't expect me to go across the middle.

I'm told Randy Moss didn't find the interest he hoped from his preferred teams like NE Indy, Pitt, and others.

Just as I thought.

No, that's not what happened to Marvin Harrison. He had legal problems off the field so the league shut him out.

Oh, I thought we wanted to shop around and nobody wanted him for the price.

Then you haven't seen Moss play.

 

[Deeko]

Randy Moss is probably the most physically talented receiver to ever play in the NFL. His attitude prevented him from turning those skills into the best receiver ever - but he really was incredibly talented. His speed, height, leaping ability, and hands made him near unstoppable.

His attitude problems aside, I for one enjoyed seeing him play, and am sad to see him retire - this despite the fact that he had a permanent beef with the Cowboys and burned them bad every time they played.
