what made Bellicheck decide to dump him anyway?

If he comes here he automatically is the #3 option. He would not want to perform for us as the #3 option. Would he have chased down Clements on Sunday and stripped the ball? No. He would have stood there with his hands on his hips and latter criticized Ryan. White played balls out and saved the game for us. We don't need that on this team.

Ok, just two things here.

If Randy Moss came here, he would be the best player on this offense, as he has been on every offense he has ever played on.

As far as him not being a team player, I think to be fair to Randy you have to consider that he tore up a contract paying him 21 million dollars in 2007 and 2008 and accepted a deal that paid him only 3 mil + incentives to play for the Pats.

Even with playing the major role in turning the Pats into the greatest scoring machine of all time in 07, he only made half of what he would have made with the Raiders.

So, I think that was fairly unselfish.

Randy is upset because the Patriots have shown no interest in resigning him after this year, and he thinks he deserves better after the massive restructure he accepted in 07.

That little rant he gave at the press conference a couple of weeks ago I am sure was the catalyst for this trade.

His emo preseason rants didn't help, either.

hey spork, off the subject, i got my tix in the mail today and they are 108 row 14 didnt u say urs were 108 row 16?

Well Adam Schefter reported that the Vikings didn't extend Moss' contract.. NOT to say it won't be done because I'm positive it will be but it hasn't been done yet. The Vikings were in a dire need for a WR their upcoming schedule: @NYJ, Dal, @GB, @NE!!! They didn't really have a choice.

Clearly the Vikings are playing for 2010, Brett won't be around forever and they're trying to win the SB now.

Oh and our #2 guy is faster than Roddy White too. Haven't you seen the youtube film?

16 or 17. Can't remember for sure. Picking them up on the drive to Cleveland. I'll have the Abe jersey and be with my fiance. Should be pretty easy to find me.

As a side note, I've been talking trash to an administrator at my school who is a huge Browns fan going to the game Sunday too. Which means we really really really have to win.

Wonders if he'll go back to number 84 now.

Where did he go in the 07 playoffs?
I know he was still on the team but where did he go? 2-32 yards
And no he wouldn't be the best player on the offense that would be White. Since Ryan and White have a great connection if he comes in and demands catches the whole offense will fall off.

Sure he took a pay cut in New England because he was winning, but he quit in Oakland and he quit in Minnesota when things got tough. Why have three teams wanted to trade someone of so much talent and skill? Must be his overwhelming generosity and all those championships he brings forth.
