I'm a little pissed. I am going to Boston with 3 buddies Nov 21 for the Pats/Colts game. We really wanted to see Moss play since this was going to be his last year in NE.

[wintonyk]

I didn't think pats fans existed outside of boston and women.

Either way seems like a dumb move to get rid of Moss. Although as a viking I benefit.

Beyond used to have a few NFL Threads, but stupidity took over most of them.

But man o man, what a turn of events in the last 24 hours.

Patriots D better gel quick because there is no way there offense is going to be able to put up 30 points a game. Tate and Hernandez aren't going to be able to stretch the field the same.


Also, 49ers 0-4.... Cue 5hift

I'm not a fan, but Bill Belichick seems like a non BS kinda coach. Doesn't seem to put up with the normal wide receiver primadonna stuff. They have good drafts and must feel this was the best for the team.

I quickly picked up Brandon Tate in my fantasy league but I don't think he's on the same level as Moss. NE has some seriously undersized players. That one Woodhead? guy looks like Willow out on the field.

No deep threat is going to hurt Brady and all his usual check downs to Welker.


FWIW my team is the Seahawks who seem like Jekyll and Hyde when it comes to home versus playing on the road. Tough going for hawks fans the past few years.

Yeah I have probably lost a few years of my life watching the Niners the past 4 weeks. That said, having watched the games I have peace in the fact the record is due to mickey mouse coaching and not to lack of talent.

The Moss trade was not a matter of the Patriots trying to put the best team on the field, it was the Patriots cutting out a cancer before it spread.

Moss was using the post game conferences as a public outlet to bitch about his contract.

He had gotten into shouting matches with the QB coach on the sidelines during game day.

And this revealed today:

Randy Moss and Tom Brady had to be separated in the locker room recently after getting into a heated argument.
The real impetus for the Patriots' surprising willingness to deal Moss? Brady reportedly told Moss to cut his beard, at which point Moss told Brady to cut his hair because he looks like a girl. The Pats had no choice but to side with their franchise QB, though, to keep peace in the locker room.

This isn't the Moss that had that had a record year a couple back. This is the Moss that bitched his way out of Minn and Oak.

I am a Moss fan. He USED to be great. But he has averaged about 3 receptions and less than 50 yards going back to early last year. He is lazy at run blocking. if the Pats didn't feed him the ball in the red zone to keep him happy, he wouldn't even be a top 15 WR.

Pats D if you guys have not noticed, is in rebuilding mode. A quick strike offense would hang them out to dry and expose how green they are. There is a reason BB went to a 2 TE formation and is running a lot more ... clock control. Well that and no linebacker can cover Aaron Hernandez.

Patriots now have 6 picks in the first two rounds next draft. They are rebuilding while somehow being competitive at the same time.

Crazy 1:00 games! Big come back by the Ravens (my preseason pick to win the SB).

Wtf is going on in New Orleans, even though they were a pass first offense last year, not having the people they did in the back field is killing them - Bush and Thomas.

I hate the Chargers, Rivers is a whinny bitch and I hate how the media has such a hard on for them every year even though they choke over and over. I'm glad to see KC raking up some wins. I hope they win the division.

The AFC south is a mess. Three teams that are fighting for first.

NFC west is still a joke, but my Hawks could actually win it this year.

I do like that there is no sure bet this year, makes it tough for betting but fun to watch.

I put a lot of my fantasy draft picks in the Bengals rolling this year, and it backfired. Then the first week I sit Palmer he goes off. Worlds worst FF manager.

Randy Moss just got waived by the Vikings...

I believe anyone who was been in the NFL longer than 4 years does not have to go through the waiver wire, so hes free to sign with whoever he wants.



His post game presser was awesome..

*Edit*
Post trade deadline - everyone must clear waivers, I think*

Moss is such an arrogant guy and thats what has caused him to be bounced around this league so much. No one wants that sorta presence in their locker room.

You are right he does have to go through the waiver process.

Waiver Priority List is:
BUF, DAL, CAR, SF, DEN, MIN, DET, CLE, CIN, SD, ARI, STL, ...

I don't see it going past one of these teams.

[Blacura]

that play moss gave up wrote his ticket out of town. That was a joke, it will be hard for anyone to want him after his lack of effort this season... maybe the Raiders or Bengals haha.

[Jlude]

Raiders won't take him back...

Can't believe he gave up on that play. What a waste of talent.

[Blacura]

Ya the Raiders won't, they used to be the dumping ground for misfits. Then it was the Bungles, imagine Ocho, TO, and Moss on the same team. yikes... get that team mic'ed up and sell tickets.

Well I just got free tickets to the Bills/Bears game tomorrow in Toronto. Next week I am going to Detroit to see the Wings/Avs. And then in 2 weeks I am off to Boston for the Pats/Colts game. Should be a good month

That Bills game turned into not a bad show. Good work on the sporting events. IMO there are the type of events that you remember for life, Id rather go to sporting events than concerts any day. This is the first year if a few that I haven't made it to a NFL game.
