He’s not worth, even, a third round pick. He’s no better than your average arena player. That’s where he should be playing then he’ll see what life is really like. ASSHOLE

There’s nothing wrong with Moss that a good old fashioned garden variety ass kicking wouldn’t fix.

WOW – say it ain’t so!!! An athlete with a huge ego and sense of entitlement throwing a tantrum, a greedy as hell football league that rewards behavior like this by continuing to throw money at them, and a group of teammates that sit silently by and not step in to confront their outbursts. Shocking!!!

I’ve been a huge Moss fan ever since he entered the league, but this type of behavior is down right pathetic! You just don’t talk to people like that, if it’s that big of a deal call up one of your “yes” boys and have them go grab you something!

Randy Moss got cut because he sucked. He’s a quitter. If I hear one more announcer say “future hall of famer” in reference to this loser, i’m going to vomit.
He disrespects the game. He disrespects people who he considers beneath him (that would be everybody). Yet it’s all about respect with him.
He gets exactly as much respect as he deserves – ZERO.

Randy Moss makes Terrell Owens look like Strawberry Shortcake. Moss is the type of person that everybody had one of while growing up… the type of guy that acted like nothing was ever good enough, made people feel 1 inch tall, disrespected his friends and elders, layed his hands on women and thought he was gods gift. I knew a few of those type of people while I was in my teens. I never had it in me to do or say anything to them but, I felt like grabbing them by the face, hard, really hard and spitting in their face while telling them that they aren’t sh-t, nobody likes you, ever will. Letting them know that if they are caught disrespecting another person, I would knock the living sh-t out of them. Thats what somebody needs to do to this LOSER. I hope Moss gets whats coming to him.

I pray to god that the statement is not true?
C’mon man? Really?
If your unhappy – mind yourself and keep a humble attitude and work with the coaches about what you are unhappy about.
But if that’s true – then you got more problems that just finding a team?

Our hotel hosted all the Bears visiting teams in Champaign during Soldier Stadium remodel. By far the biggest jerk, out of all ten teams, to the staff was Moss. Nicest person was Donovan McNabb’s mom who cooked up some of her own food in our kitchen for the team. Brett Favre-never saw him; he had room service cheeseburger ,didn’t join in on team meals-never saw him leave room. Favre didn’t even ride team bus, had hotel van drive him and security to the stadium

As a mental health professional, I ask the question, “Who puts the athletes in the position where they are allowed to act any way they choose as long as they perform on the field?” It starts from the time they are labeled as athletically gifted. They are catered to and allowed to take every advantage offered. Some athletes can handle the label (Matt Birk, Randall McDaniel) and some can’t (Randy Moss and Brett Favre). Every day folks and others (KFAN Morning Show/Paul Allen) slobber mercilessly over these athletes as if their athletic prowess is drool-worthy and/or valuable in some way. I work with kids and their parents every day to help instill appropriate values – kindness, thoughtfulness, empathy, respect, healthy competition (yes, there are winners and losers and everybody doesn’t get a trophy). Parents – you are the role models. There is a place for professional athletes and it isn’t on a pedestal. Randy Moss is just a football player. Albeit a professional football player who looks like he could use some kind of mental health intervention.

Let me get this straight. A millionaire football player insulted a caterer, and also made some comments about how he disagreed with his Head Coach (which most everybody disagrees with). Is this what we’re arguing about? Oh, and by the way, he also made the offense better on the field. You know, on the field, where the games are played.
Tell me the names of the players that are happy Moss was cut. Just one. I don’t give a crap that he’s a jerk. I just know that the team was better with him, which is a lot more than I can say about Childress, who is also a jerk.

That’s just another stupid example of a reason to get rid of a guy. He yelled at the caterer? Please!
Sorry to the caterer, but people yell at food servers every day. If you don’t like criticism, you might want to choose a new career.
Tell me something he did wrong on the field
————————————————
Really andy ? What did he do ‘wrong’ on the field? how bout NOT PLAYING the way he is capable of .
We are talking about Mr. “I playz whenz I wantz to playz” Randy Moss.
He has a BIG TIME attitude problem dating back to the days at Marshall, when he embarrassed that university and all of college football by wearing sunglasses during the Heisman Trophy award show.
What did Moss do wrong on the field? How bout cheat the game, cheat his team, cheat his teammates and cheat himself.. BY NOT playing up to the level that his god given talents carry him to.
Numbers alone will get that bum into the hall of fame someday, but he will NEVER be in the same breath of true hall of famers like Emmitt Smith and Jerry Rice etc…
MOSS, simply put… is an A$$ !!!

If he couldn’t win wit the ’07 Patriots, he’ll never be a major contributor on a winner. He doesn’t have what it takes to be part of that kind of effort. how anyone still doubts that after failing to win in New England or the more deplorable actions of actually quitting on a team while still drawing a paycheck in Oakland is beyond me.

Little does Randy realize that the pop of that local catering business slipped in a lot of ex-lax into that burger especially for him.

Moss is no dummy, he went to college didn’t he? He’s just one of the rats jumping off of this sinking Viking’s ship.

Has anybody noticed the fact that Percy is actually open once in a while now? Imagine that…I’d rather have Moss running down the sideline not trying and drawing double coverage than watch B Twice.

For all those thinking this was some isolated incident, he did a similar thing here at a CHARITY event this fall that Robert Kraft puts on every year at the beginning of the season.
He sat by himself with headphones on while Vince Wilfork was receiving an award for his community service and was a total jerk to the people in attendance.
The story was in all of the Boston papers.

Not good, even this loyal dog can’t side with Randy on this one… He really needs to learn how to control himself, it’s not easy though…

I think Childress is a horrible coach. Great Coordinator, horrible coach. With that being said, Moss is a headcase and I understand why you just dump him. I’ve watched this guy all year loaf on routes, either for New England and last Sunday for the Vikings. This guy has just lost interest in football. I wouldn’t be surprised if after football Randy Moss becomes a huge bum in a ditch or something.
Brad Childress didn’t deserve the extension he got and the Vikings over pursued on a quarterback who appears to just have had one year left on his golden arm

He seemed to quit on a pass where PI was called. Ball landed two feet away from his feet and he looked indifferently.
If the Vikes would have won a few games and Moss had some big catches this probably wouldn’t have been a problem and everyone would be geniuses. It has always been this way with him. Team is winning and he’s the greatest teammate ever. Things aren’t going good and he turns into a total prick.
The Vikings run, contrary to what PFT posters would have you think, an extremely classy and tight organization. You hear it from reporters that spend time in their camps and facilities. You see it from how few (Moss notwithstanding) players are acting out and making big stinks. This is a very solid and classy organization. Media obsession over Favre gives it an undeserved reputation.
This is the type of organization that when a player berates good people that serve lunch, that player is done. Sure they let Favre get by without going to camp but he wasn’t out making the janitor cry for being poor either.

How could ANYONE ( Childress ) , after suffering the first 7 weeks with Brett Favre, think it would be a great Idea to have another player ( Moss ) abuse him as well. All I can think is that Childress went along with the Leaders of the Vikes ( Favre & Wilf ) and the rest is history…a short one at that.

For all those rushing to Moss’s defense, Silver’s article definitely gives the impression that this wasn’t an isolated incident, but a series of events where he acted like a selfish ass.
It’s no secret that his behavior extends onto the football field on game day any time he feels like having a pout.
That said, the Vikings organization knew what they were buying when they brought him in. It’s not like he’s been a model citizen, suddenly gone rogue. You’re going to get lazy routes, lazy blocking, and the occasional traffic cop hit with his car. Plenty of successful NFL organization would NOT be using a waiver claim on Moss, whatever Jeff Fisher says. His talent comes at a price.

Why do you idiots beleive this food story has anything to do with Moss be bounced? Why is this even a story? Moss plays when he wants to play. Even a fool can see that. Only Belichick could get the man to 80% of the time. Thats why anyone that picks up Moss is in for a sorry 9 games …….except the Patriots

“That’s why, even though Childress may have made the right call, Childress should be blamed for bringing Moss to town in the first place.”
And, Bingo was his name – oh!
That was my point last nite about holding Chilly’s feet to the fire over this debacle. He is the one that instigated the trade and made it. Suddenly, he wants us to accept his dismissal of Moss after a few weeks – which includes a loss of a third round pick.
I’m sorry, but that type of managerial prowess could deep-six many a business. Chilly needs a serious, serious reprimand, and they need to re-do his contract so that he doesn’t make the same horrendous mistake again. Personally, I’d fire his ass. We’ve seen his best, and it ain’t good enough.

And yet Moss isn’t getting anywhere near the sort of bad press he should be getting unlike T.O. would have if he did this press conference and played like that.
Now if this was T.O. you guys would have crucified him and drawn and quartered him already.
You all might not like T.O. but he plays hard and gives it his all every game and on the practice field..and he stays out of trouble on the side. T.O. would never say something like this to a family business.
And FYI, T.O. is looking more and more correct about the Cowboys, and McNabb after all. Maybe it just might be….

Didn’t the Vikes hand Dallas something like two championships and multiple winning seasons when they traded a championship team in draft choices for Hershel Walker? Hershel was a nice player, but……I don’t know how to play poker, but I would like to play against Childress.

Nobody has more unnamed sources when it comes to bashing Moss than Silver. Moss is a douche for sure but Silver continues to target him exclusively with unnamed sources. Maybe his source is Charlie Casserly, and vice-versa??

Say what you want about Moss, but I call BS on this one. Never heard of anything like this before, and you can’t tell me there are not players in that locker room who would’nt have said anything to him. Maybe not the special teams guys, but the starters. C’mon man. What is pretty apparent is Moss is a smart player and can’t handle stupid coaching (his little speach said as much). How would you feel if your coaches would’nt listen to you all week long and you were right? This the same reason he wanted out of Oakland. It was’nt Al it was having to play for the moron Art Shell (srry Art hell of a lineman, terrible coach). Chilly gets the axe today for being a moron. If by some miracle Moss does hit the waiver don’t think for a second Al Davis won’t give Randy a call.
