im trying to get him in this keeper league im in because the owner who has him is an idiot. PLEASE don't sign for a few days bud lol

Waiver expires tomorrow.

ESPN is saying that he still has not officially been waived. Players are saying that he is no longer with the team, but Moss is not officially on waivers

i'm a sucker for a good conspiracy theory and this is certainly a good one if he ends up back in NE.

Nah, no conspiracy on this one, lol. The odds of not 1 team claiming here are pretty low and no way they'd risk that.


Am I the only here who thinks that New England is one of the least likely places he lands? Trading him had very little to do with landing a 3rd round pick and a whole lot to do with other reasons, some of which I think were never made public. What I'm basically saying is, NE got rid of him simply because they did not want him. So, I can't see why they'd even think of taking him back.

i think its very unlikely more then a couple teams have any interest at all.

i think the Patriots believe in value. they realized a 3rd rounder was worth better then nothing + the headache he was causing, which they would have got at the end of the year for him. if they have the opportunity to pick him back up for nothing + the headaches, i think there is 70% chance they would take him back. all that other stuff i think is really overblown when it comes to the Patriots, especially since he already knows the system. they treat players like stocks in New England.

most teams out there don't want to risk messing up chemistry and having to teach him a whole new system at this point in the season. the only teams i can think of that would consider it are the Rams (they have nothing to lose this year and are desperate for a wr threat) and the Patriots.

Being a Bears fan I think he should come on over. We throw the ball over 40 times a game, Cutler loves to chuck it deep and he can go and beat the shit outta the Vikings twice this season!

[packsyD22]

By the way I am realizing more and more that Brad Childress just may be one huge Doucher.

[Cnasty]

He got released over a meal????

I mean yea he is pretty dick for doing what he did if true but to release him due to that after trading a 3rd round pick for him???

It goes back to Dave I think who mentioned the chemistry vs just being a player and producing (even though he hasnt done much of that lately).

So he has been traded over a hair conflict and now a meal.

What do you mean a meal? Please fill me in cause I am not sure what this story is.

The hair thing was apparently not true.

Randy Moss, who is expected to be waived by the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday, may have alienated some teammates when he roundly criticized a post-practice meal in front of the local restaurant owners who catered it, Yahoo! Sports reported.

Every Friday, the Vikings invite a local establishment to cater the team's post-practice meal. Last Friday, it was a St. Paul restaurant -- a favorite of former Vikings center Matt Birk -- that served chicken, pasta, ribs and other dishes.

While his teammates lined up to dig in, Moss lashed out, according to the report.

Moss yelled "What the [expletive]? Who ordered this crap? I wouldn't feed this to my dog," a player who witnessed the incident said, according to Yahoo! Sports.

"This wasn't a chain -- it was a mom-and-pop restaurant, and you could tell it was their best stuff," the witness said, according to the report. "And [Moss] is at his locker saying, 'You know, I used to have to eat that crap -- but now I've got money.' You just felt so sad for them. I had never seen anyone treated like that.

"And by the way, the food was actually really good."

A source who was at a team meeting on Monday, in which Childress informed the Vikings that Moss would be leaving, said it was clear the coach was referring to Moss' criticism of the locker-room meal when he said "This just doesn't fit with how we treat people, how we talk to people and how we act," according to Yahoo! Sports.

[trendon]

Yeah, I read that on Yahoo. I could barely get through the article without cringing. I wish the article mentioned the name of the place so they can get some love and affection from people.

[DRiccio21]

if they really released him cause of that then that is one of the dumbest things i've ever heard

[packsyD22]

Word is the owner had no idea he got released. I still am under the theory Brad Childress is an uber asshat.

[DRiccio21]

its Rick Spielman's call.

while many owners get involved with personel decisions (usually too involved) its this guys decision whether Moss gets released or not. As a coach, Childress can recommend that they dump him but the GM doesn't have to listen.

the GM decides what players are on the team, the coach is paid to coach them and the owner is the guy who writes the checks.

[shel311]

Tell that to Al Davis and Jerry Jones

[Cnasty]

if they really released him cause of that then that is one of the dumbest things i've ever heard

It certainly sounds like it after Childress's comments on "we like good people...that fit".

[shel311]
