Randy Moss Just Doesn't Get It

Since NFL Draft Day back in 1998 Randy Moss, new wide receiver for the Tennessee Titans, has had a label that follows him around wherever he goes: Problem Guy. Randy Moss is a problem guy for whatever team he is on and has been since he began his career for the Minnesota Vikings 12 years ago. Nothing has changed for Moss, who was released by the Vikings last week for several reasons, one being lack of production on the field and another being an outburst directed towards a local restauranteur. Moss reportably walked up to the buffet, waved his arms and said, "I wouldn't feed this s--- to my dogs." A number of Vikings scolded Moss and not long after coach Brad Childress waived him. Moss also had an outburst at the media saying that he wouldn't answer any more questions this year.

This is the Randy Moss we're used to seeing. I almost thought he was a changed man in New England because I hardly heard from him unless it was something on the field. However, as soon as Moss was away from Tom Brady and Bill Belichick we were reminded of the true Randy Moss. The Randy Moss who wasn't allowed into Florida State because of a failed drug test, the Randy Moss who "plays when he wants to play" and the Randy Moss who hit a police officer with his car and then was busted for possession of marijuana.

Some guys just don't get it. You can give them a million chances but they will screw up time and time again. No doubt Moss is one of the best, if not thee best, wide receiver of this generation but his off the field antics overshadow his play at times. He is nearing the end of his career and it would be nice to see him go out in a good way but then again...this is Randy Moss we're talking about here.

  1. Randy Moss is on my fantasy team so hopefully he starts catching passes and stops being such a princess. I agree with everything you said.

  2. Ochocinco is making a great case for himself too..the only difference between these two and Moss is that all their stuff happens on the field. They have never had off the field issues like possession or stuff like that
