The "other" chosen one



Randy Moss is arguable one of the best wrs of all time. He has the prototypical size at 6'4 210 pounds. He can jump over 4 feet in the air and can run the 40 yard dash in 4.25 seconds. The man is a freak athlete who is basically uncoverable (especially when he is pushing off the db). The man is insane, and i would say that he is better at football, when he wants to be, than Lebron is at basketball. Thats a tough thing to prove, but I'm willing to say it and stand by it. This past season he went off for 23 touchdowns, had 98 receptions and a ridiculous 1498 yards. The man is insane, but yet not very smart. 

Randy has always been known to be kind of spoiled brat and a child when it comes to him getting what he wants. Looking back at his college days, moss was expected to play for Notre Dame, but was caught in a fight and was sentenced to some jail time. Then he was going to play for florida state, but was caught smoking pot while serving his jail time. He has gotten in trouble with the law many times and has done many stupid stupid things. See walking off the field back in the season finale in 2005 while playing the redskins, then going on to moon the packer crowd at lambeau field during the next game (no less the first round of the playoffs). He is a whiny punk when he wants to be, see the 2 years he spent in oakland where he had a total 102 receptions for 1558 yards and only 11 tds in those 2 years... Meaning that in 2 years with oakland he caught only 4 more passes... 60 yards and 12 less tds than he did in the past year with NE... Thats kind of sad... pathetic...embarrassing if you ask me.  

However thats not really what this article is about. It is obvious that Moss is kind of stupid and doesn't really think things through, and so I am wondering if he thought through the contract that he just signed with the Pats. The contract was for 3 years for a total of 27 million dollars with 12 million just to sign. Now thats a lot of money... 9 million a year and hes going back to team where he set an nfl record and all that shit... yea i know. But did he really think it through. Did he realize that he could have easily gotten more money out of another team. I mean wasn't moss well known for his line "straight cash homey?" The man is the best ever... or at least best in todays game and should have easily gotten insane money from a team... like oh the eagles, who offered a longer contract with more guaranteed money and more money to sign. 

But money isn't the only reason why i have to question his decision. Does he realize that he is rejoining a team that just lost its top 2 defensive backs. A team that has more linebackers over the age of 34 than under, and a team that already lost 1 1st round draft pick and might lose even more. A team that might even lose its coach? Thats right, Belifag will be suspended when Matt Walsh finally grows a pair and testifies against his former employer. When he does spygate will be even bigger and everyone will know just how gay the pats really are. Goodell will have no choice but to suspend Belifag and thus end the pats season. I understand moss thinks he can win a championship in NE, and he thinks that by taking a pay cut to stay that it might happen next year. A recent ESPN.com article states that moss stayed with the pats because of their "intangibles." The friendships he had made, the fact that the team won 18 games in a row, and the fact that like Tom Brady he probably knew exactly where the defense was going to be, thanks to Belifags massive backfiles on each coach in the league. The "intangibles" made all the difference to him. I hope he actually thought about this contract before he signed it, because it might just come back to bite him in the ass.
