The Patriots will be a completely different offense if they don’t have Moss…hope they realize this.
Yeah I forgot how many superbowls the pats have won since signing him and throwing bombs..

YES!!!…more more more!!! Get em outta there… and get him here… in Sota!!!!
I love all the MN vans that have been clamoring to get a 34 year old mess, best part is, by the time he’d get there jackson amd webb will be the ones throwing to him and I’m sure he’s really enthusiastic about that thought.

The guy has been nothing but a professional during his time in New England. He’s looking for a new contract… what’s the big deal? The guy understands the business of the NFL, do you?
By the way Mike, I still haven’t seen any consumption of “crow” from you after your season-long bashing of Moss last year after it was revealed he played through a large number of injuries.
It’s time for you to pull up a chair to the table and take a big bite… although, your little axe to grind and newly inflated ego will continue to taint your “subjective” reporting and I doubt you will be able to admit that you were wrong about Moss last season.
First game of the new season is in the book and you’ve again climbed right onboard.

That may be the “old randy” from MN, but as a Vikings fan, I would gladly trade any reciever on our roster for Randy in the last year of his contract to be catching passes from Brett Favre.
Hey New England, want Percy Harvin?

Bring him back to Minnesota! So he can play at least four more seasons and retire as a Viking. He could be mooning cheeseheads with Brett.

Most of the morons here who are knocking Moss aren’t from New England. Every Pat’s fan knows what Moss has meant to this team, knows what he’s worth, and knows he hasn’t been half the problem child that the media has made him out to be.
Moss has watched “cheap” Robert Kraft take care of the key players, and without a doubt knows his turn will come. last week all you idiots were talking $hit about how they weren’t stepping up to take care of Brady, and what did they do? Kraft will take care of Moss and Moss knows it. Media people – and idiot fans – are making waaaay too much out of this because of the national “anti-Patriot” mentality, which infects even some of the idiots in the Boston media who carry personal grudges that have no place in reporting.
Moss will perform, as he always does, and will get his contract in due time and, like Brady, he knows this. Bank on it.

Yeah I listened to the whole interview after the game.
1) Randy said he intends to play out the entire contract to the best of his ability.
2) If he is offered a new deal he would like to stay in New England.
3) He said if he isn’t resigned he will play for another team.
stupid media blowing things out of proportion. The guy has been nothing but a professional in New England.

Hey morons,
Moss was talking about the boston media, specifically michael felger of 98.5, who compared him to a stripper. He is one of many media members who would like to see Moss “dog it” because it will give the media blowhards something to talk about. Felger’s analogy was stupid and nonsense. His constant contrarian positioning serves only to create listeners. Basically he is a fool.

Come back home, Randy. Some of your best seasons were with the Vikings. We were all upset that Red decided to save money by trading you to the Raiders.
It pained us to see you do well in New England.
All I want as a Vikings fan is to see you catch a touchdown pass from Brett Favre. All Brett Favre wants is to throw you one.
The Vikings’ receiving corps is a mess right now – we need you.
Come back home, man.

That quote about him getting called into Bill’s office was incorrect. It should have said, “If I do I’ll shake my **** at him”.

Some Points To Consider
1. I saw the press conference and Moss wasn’t loud, wonder why Ian would say that?
2. Plus, just because one person says something doesn’t mean its okay to repeat it, Mike are you listening? Have credibility!
3. The Pats routinely let people go when they want more money, thats why they haven’t won the SB again, remember Asante Samuel?
4. Moss should play out his contract and let his play do his talking!
5. Boston is known to be a racist area, (I’ve seen it in person.) an its possible there is a group of people that wants Moss gone.
6. He is still a game changer.
7. I’m a lifelong Viking fan and I don’t want any player that takes plays off and walks off the field without his teammates whenever he wants to.
8. Mike, you took one little piece of the press conference and used it make Moss sound bad, not cool, epecially when the gist of the press/c was lot more meaningful than the part you used. I don’t expect pro athletes to be 100% accurate when it comes to public speaking but I do expect journalists to write meaningful and accurate portrayals of events.
Thank you

I can’t stand how athletes always want more money but can’t speak English. It drives me crazy when I hear/see athletes (although I should say ‘football players’ because we never hear about this in other sports) stand behind the podium, who “went to college,” sound like idiots. Randy Moss essentially wants more money and doesn’t like the fact that the organization will not talk to him about it. At the same time, he plays a children’s game and is getting paid for catching a ball. Randy Moss is living the dream and continually fails to appreciate the fact that he makes more money in one Sunday than most people make in one year.
I am a huge fan of Randy Moss and love how he always plays 100% every Sunday. But if he wants more money then he needs to understand that standing in front of a podium with a hat hanging off his head and speaking like a kid in fifth grade will never get him there. If athletes would just learn how to invest and save their money (instead of becoming one of the approximately 80% who are bankrupt within two years of retirement, per Colin Cowherd), maybe they wouldn’t need to demand more money when they are already under contact.

Mike….I usually have zero problems with you and basically regard you as a quality reporter, but this headline is just shameful.
———————————————–
LOL Anyone who would confuse Florio as a “qulity reporter”, must have the IQ of a gnat. Florio is a copy and paste artist who then applies his snarky comments as if it’s some sort of humor at the end. In reality, Florio runs a good NFL site, but he’s hardly a good reporter. All he’s doing is passing the message onto us in a convenient single location.
That’s hilarious. Qulaity reporter. i’m tearing up i’m laughing so hard. What a moron.

Moss gets hammered for not talking to the press and now he is getting hammered for talking. I find his honesty refreshing. But I have to wonder
if his new agent is behind this?

@thumper/
If you have a job/career, how would you feel if you knew you just worked your ass off preparing to do that job, and are about to do that dangerous job for the next 6 months without knowing if you’re going to be doing it again in the same place when those six months conclude.
He just wants some job security, and he’s more than earned it.
Even if they tell him “You’re next” after Mankins, he’ll be satisfied. The guy just wants to know if he needs to start preparing for a job search.

If he wants to stay in NE then he should act like an adult and shut his mouth. Nothing he has said since last year has done anything but make the situation worse and lower his chances of being resigned in NE.

All right as a business person, Moss called in sick for most of the week. (Things that make ya go Hmmm) Now that Brady has his contract, he’s boo hooing! First, Mr. Moss, although I trully think you are a great player and should be compensated!!! Complaining will only make B.B. say “see ya later” Randy you the patriots love you and you will probably be signed within the week. Stop crying bout it.

Bob Kraft is a cheap bastard.
Aside from paying the largest salary in the history of the NFL a few days ago, what has he done lately to show that he’s not cheap?
Nothing.
It’s odd but it almost seems like the Patriots want to make sure that Moss has a financial incentive to have a big 2010 season.
Strange strategy, huh?
Perhaps Moss has realized that if he doesn’t get a contract extension and guaranteed money now, the next chance he has for a payday is probably in 2012 after the 2011 lockout when he’s 35 years old.

The future success of the Patriots doesn’t rest on the status of Randy Moss.
He seems to know this better than many of you.
