Who knew?
As it turns out, if you lika the ganga, you’ve got friends in New England. Ending months of speculation that Ted Thompson had the cajones to pull off a deal of this magnitude, the New England Patriots took my advice and tricked Al Davis into giving up Moss for a 4th round pick. If you remember, Al Davis was adamant that Moss only be traded for a first round pick. Maybe Hoodie grabbed Davis by his catheter to help Davis see things Belichick’s way. Or maybe he threatened to take the GPS out of Davis’ walker, leaving him trapped in his own locker room.
Whatever the case, the Packers are still in need of good hands carried on fast legs.
Though as a human interest story, I like Moss going to the Patriots. It’s put up or smoke up time for Moss, who for the first time will be playing for a team with realistic expectations of playing in February. Belichick won’t put up with Moss channeling Leon, and for all of Moss’ walk-offs and smack talk, if he can’t produce on a team where all the pieces are in place, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has given fans wordlwide permission to call Moss a bust. To commemorate this Season of Judgement, I made a little graphic you can use to tell the world that you, too are keeping your eye on Moss, and that his legacy (I shudder even using that word in this post) rests in the balance of his time in New England (see below). Those of us using the graphic can proudly make a very loud “Hmmph” sound when Randy Moss shows his true nature while wearing the Red, White and Silver, infecting the Patriot locker room as he did in Minnesota and Oakland. And we can unapologetically shout “In your face, Belichick!” when it becomes apparent that Belichick made a mistake and that the Packers dodged a Lexus when Thompson failed to get a deal done with the Raiders.
