		<description><![CDATA[Everyone who is a real football fan doesn&#039;t really care that much about the players&#039; welfares, just about watching them kill themselves out there. Everyone who demands he is going to be back is doing a lot of wishful thinking. He did for Football what Tiger Woods did for Golf, he made it fun to watch. You can bet, whatever Randy Moss decides to do from now on will be fun to watch.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@Deb, we are in agreement.

@BobNelson,  we already know the source of your dislike for Moss.  As a result, there is no reason to post a series of poorly remembered (?) or intentionally fabricated incidents throughout his career.  

I find it hilarious how many of you list, as one of his offenses, the fact that he &quot;humiliated a (European?) caterer.  There are two guys in the league who killed people and one who intentionally killed dogs.  Yep, Randy is a bad guy.]]></description>

Randy Moss was a great wide receiver, but there’s a reason he’s never won a ring, we should save the hall for the guys who went about their business the right way.

There are two reasons he never won a ring.

Because Asante Samuel has butterfingers and David Tyree wore a velcro helmet.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Best of luck to you in retirment.  As a Pats fan I loved watching you play every week (even if some weeks you obviously didn&#039;t try)... but you were always fun to watch cus on any given play something spectacular could happen!  I have a feeling that we may see him again later this year when a &quot;championship&quot; calibur team out there loses a receiver... a call may go out to him at that point!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many of the commentors seem to have never seen him &quot;play&quot;.  He never caught anything between the numbers on the field because he refused to go there.  

This is a criminal that deliberately hit a cop with his vehicle while there was marijuana in the vehicle.  

This is the same bad attitude players that threw water on a game official, walked off the field on his team during a game, screamed at team sponsors on a bus, insulted a European food caterer, got kicked out of college for starting racial fights, and repeatedly insulted the NFL.  

After treating the press so badly no body is going to remember this trivial player or mention him.  

Nobody has mentioned any career achievements.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You either get it or you don&#039;t..... as mentioned above &quot;He (Randy Moss) is in the discussion as one of the best receivers and big play threats ever.&quot; As a person that has watched him in nearly every game he played from his rookie year with the vikings until his final game last season........ I couldn&#039;t agree more! 

For the naysayers/Beer Baggers... as far as his off field antics are concerned, for the most part the media put their spin on the events in order to grab a HEADLINE to drive people to their site or sell their media........ 

What he was on and off the field .... is what made him..... a  confident NFL player and future Hall of Famers ......most of us enjoyed watching over the years.

Good Luck Randy --]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It will be interesting to see how voters assess the careers of Moss, Chad and TO. All have big numbers but all were equally cancers in the locker room at various points of their careers and/or significant enough distractions where their accomplishments were often subjugated by their antics.

Zero SBs between the three of them, to date. Fitting, isn&#039;t it. 

I have to think Moss goes to the HOF for sure. I would say right now Chad does not. TO is a maybe. Why Moss? The numbers were simply too good for too long. He was dominant whereas Chad and TO have been merely very, very good (which might make them good enough for the Hall). But Moss - different category altogether.

Great player. Lousy teammate.
 
Thanks for the memories, good and bad, but good riddance. The game ultimately is better without you and the rest of the divine divas. Can&#039;t wait for TO and Chad to join you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@hatessycophants ...

Thank you. I was a longtime Moss defender and never said he shouldn&#039;t go into the Hall. But it&#039;s a team sport. I can forgive almost any mistake a player makes--fumbles, INTs, dropped balls. But I can&#039;t forgive when a player &lt;em&gt;deliberately&lt;/em&gt; puts his need ahead of the team&#039;s or pulls up short and doesn&#039;t make the play. 

His attitude about money was detrimental to the team in New England, which is why Belichick let him go. And I&#039;m pretty sure BB gave him a chance to back off before dropping the hammer. Then just throwing in the towel rather than making that play for Favre was inexcusable. Whatever else people may think of Favre, he always gave 110 percent on the field. I don&#039;t always agree with Hobartbaker, but he&#039;s right on this one.

I&#039;d never deny Randy has earned his spot in Canton and will probably go in on the first ballot. But that he leaves on a sour note is his own doing, and it&#039;s a shame. You don&#039;t quit on your teammates whether you&#039;ve been with them a decade or a day.

@steeelfann ...

No, he quit on plays last season, and we&#039;d have no way of knowing he wouldn&#039;t do it again until the game was on the line. That&#039;s not a gamble we can afford to take.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I still wouldn&#039;t be surprised if Belichick doesn&#039;t cut Deion Branch if he doesn&#039;t return to form in the preseason and team up Moss with Chad Johnson and Welker. Or he may keep Branch and hide a youngster on the development squad until Branch inevitably gets injured or pulls a Hammy.  Ocho is more of a speedy route runner. A cross hybrid of Branch and Welker. Moss &amp; Ocho could tandem between 1st-3rd down and give them a lot of intermediate to deep packages to run without tiring either out.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Man, there are a lot of apologists for Moss here.  You guys don&#039;t get it - he only loved the money and the hype - that&#039;s all.  He didn&#039;t want to win.  Not really.  To win the Super Bowl you have to play as a team - every down.  Moss was about Moss.  That&#039;s all.  Like Owens is about Owens.

Is he talented?  Sure.  But he doesn&#039;t change a team for the better.  He&#039;ll entertain, but he won&#039;t get you to the next level.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, Randy, you were always entertaining to watch.

You always had to be accounted for on the field (that&#039;s the biggest compliment another team can give to an opposing player).

We&#039;ll miss you!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Too bad it ended this way. He was magic with Tom Brady in NE. If he had toned it down on the contract stuff he would still be there. Because they loved his excitement in PatsLand. If the Pats had him in the playoffs they would have been in the SuperBowl. Still probably would have lost to Green Bay. But it would have been exciting to watch. But I think when the Patriots signed Ocho and the Jets signed Plaxico, Moss&#039;s Heart was broken. And he said adios. He really wanted back in with the Patriots. And Tom Brady lobbied Kraft &amp; Belichick hard to bring him back.]]></description>
