I fixed the broken English in this. That's what I get for trying to post this before I left work for the day

Check your sources. Do you really think a known Moss hater would be privy to that conversation? I sincerely doubt BB or Brady would share the details of such a conversation. The original article was discussed here, but was quickly dismissed due to the source.

Was that before or after he was going to be cut during the first training camp?

I thought it was bizarre. I was reading some of the stories from the last couple of days again, and when I read that part I was surprised.

As I wrote he brought some amazing moments and a record breaking year that helped Brady take away the TD record from Manning. That in itself makes me happy considering my dislike for the Manning brothers.

Moss did have some great moments here. I bet he'll have some serious regrets when he's older, looking back at how things worked out. I often wonder what would have happened if Brady never got injured.

That's a great point. They went 11-5 that year with Cassel, Lord only knows what that season would have brought if he hadn't gotten hurt.

I'm not so quick to discount the story, simply because there must be an explanation for his abrupt trade, and I never thought an argument between Randy and O'Brien alone was going to be the catalyst.

The offense definitely didn't 'save the day' that night in Miami, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if Brady realized the 2010 crew had the potential to be special, and Randy was ******* it up.

Who cares? Moss is history. Now the Pats have Chad who I think is a better receiver at this stage but is also in the twilight of his career.
I do not believe Moss is retired. Someone will throw him the right amount of money closer to the start of the season.

The original article rang very true and was only dismissed by the Mossy Love crowd. The fact that the NE Patriots traded Mossy in the middle of the season (NFL in-season trades are as rare as snow in August) speaks to Mossy's work ethic. We all saw Brady babysitting a pouting Mossy on the sidelines during Mossy's time here. That baby act wears thin even if it's one of your boys.
