That oh-so-cautiously-phrased "report"
on such a hyperbolic topic
reeks of Tangini-ite disinformation.

PFnV must have noticed that, starting with the 9:34 a.m. posting and working down
... 5 out of 6 stories featured slurs against America's New Team.

IMO the source for this report is Michael Felger. Before I stopped listening to his program, Felger had Florio on all the time. They were joined at the hip in their belief Moss was headed to Green Bay this spring. It makes sense that, after the Harrison issue broke, Florio would correspond with one of his Boston area connections, and just as likely that Felger would grind his Randy Moss axe. Notice the report is from a league "insider" who "believes" the Pats are "pondering" this issue. To me this sounds like a peripheral character such as Felger, who likes to throw around fuzzy ideas, the kind of ideas generated by a brain dulled by excessive marijuana use over many years.

That theory makes a lot of sense.

Randy Moss will be on the roster for opening day.

Sure, we can win without him, but his talent cannot be overlooked.

Excellent points - I completely forgot about the Florio/Felger marriage.

I know dude, I was trying to lighten the mood a bit. The doom and gloom of the last couple days is becoming overpowering.

They'll be ready................. with Moss in tow.

I completely agree with this. If it were TO on our team and he was injured, the media would go psycho over everything he might say.

Yah. I've seen "clusters" of stories sort of woven into a themed "uberstory" like that before in the fan press (and elsewhere): You have one real story, a story with real facts that's more of a non-story (the Killer Punter), and then one story that's got zero substantiation of any kind. You could substitute "Hey you know what we thought might be weird around the office?" for "sources say" in the Moss story, and it reads about the same.

But it sounds credible. I mean, is BB really feeling good about a safety out for a bad-boy infraction, and about his own personally paid bad-boy receiver sitting out a month with a tweaked hammy -- after he's become famous for "playing when he wants to play..."?

So yeah there's plenty of things that make you go "hmm" floating around, so people can weave them together into this relatively sturdy fictitious speculation.

It's basically guesswork. They float a wacky idea, claim there's a "source" speculating, when in fact they are speculating, and when the blind squirrel finds a nut, they've got a "scoop."

Okay dudes, but like I said, I said back a week after the trade...

There is No Way Randy Moss Makes This Team!

Let us not forget that this "famous" quote itself is out of context. The question to Moss was:

What gets you motivated to play?

and the answer was:

I don't need external motivation. I play when I want to play, not for outside reasons.

So, naturally, the media quote was, "I play when I want to play."

Not saying Moss is a choirboy - he's done some pretty stupid things - only that this quote is textbook taken out of context.
