didn't read the article, don't read 90% of the articles posted here.
However, the title isn't wrong at all. Talking about his contract after a win was unacceptable, no matter how you want to spin it. Luckily, he was putting himself first in a press conference and not the actual game which at the end of the day is all that matters.
Regardless, still a dissapointing and unprofessional conference from randy.
"Welker sat patiently while Moss talked about himself, his contract and his feelings. But, after 14 minutes or so, even Welker had heard enough. He stood up and walked out."
Damnit, another non issue that we'll have to hear about the whole damn year. Randy sure as hell didn't decide two weeks ago that he was unhappy with his current contract. Yet he still worked his tail off this off season. He's going to play and play well this entire year.
I love Randy, but he shouldn't talk to the media at all. Take the BB route and say as little as possible. There's simply no benefit for him to talk to the media, and every time he tries, it doesn't end the way he thinks it should.
Just don't bother with the Boston media, let your play do all your talking.
My read...Randy is a businessman, and he has to understand Welker's value to this team and Welker's $3.5 mill average pay through 2011 is insufficient considering his production. My guess is that Moss feels threatened that the Patriots may shift dollars away from the deep threat, whoever that may be next year and towards Welker. Can the Patriots continue to Moss 260% more than Welker? I expect Welker to stir the pot in the offseason so Randy has decided to get the early lead. The Pats are lucky that WRs 3-5 are minimum wage guys and their TEs are on the low end also. That leaves Moss and Welker fighting for the real bucks...and I have trouble believing that Moss is the most valuable WR on the roster.
I love R Moss, he plays hard and makes the Team better.
I hate sportswriters who try to manufacture controversy.
Manufacture controversy? Did you watch the press conference. Moss went on and on like a fool. Actually, more like a self-absorbed fool, which is what Moss proved himself to be by somehow calculating that the moment after a big, decisive opening victory was the moment that required he set everyone straight about his problem.
Fine, Randy wants a new contract, that's understandable. But not being able to wait until they came back on Tuesday or Wednesday showed little perspective. Moss says all the time that he doesn't care "what ya'll think" (as Patriots basher and Moss apologist Ron Bogus continually reminded us last night). But for a guy who doesn't care what people think he sure spent a lot of time *****ing about how he is viewed in the media and by the fans.
attitude reflects leadership. maybe the pats should offer a contract that is contingent on a public apology.
and I have trouble believing that Moss is the most valuable WR on the roster.
not a single defensive coordinator in the NFL agrees with you.
