No. If I tune in EEI or 98.5 and get an ear full of Moss I will turn the dial.A joke, right?

What? You're saying Welker is our number one?
Just because of today? And because of that, we won't pay Moss?
Curran threw him a lifeline early on, and he didn't grasp that, either... This wasn't his press conference. This was the Patriots first post game press conference of the season after all the criticism and panning of everything from Belichick's drafting to the FO handling of negotiations to the talent of the secondary to the lack of pass rush, to how they would be lucky to make it as a wild card.... Even players in the locker room were stunned, off the record of course. Randy can blame the media all he wants. He remains his own worst enemy. I guess that's part of the reason why he fired the agent who had spent half Randy's lifetime trying to keep him on an even keel and put him in the right situations. Because - and he actually said it - he has a family to feed... If he wanted endorsements someone should have told him that like contract extensions this is not the way you get them, particularly not here... Tom has an 8 month old and a toddler at home to take care of and clean up after, BB has an entire organization to run. Both have had his back through thick and thin. They deserved better. Even Kraft has had his back, only to be stabbed in it twice in a week. This was not his first time talking. It was his third. It better be his last regardless of who says what about him going forward. This organization is all about accountability. Randy spent 14 minutes rambling about himself in some half baked attempt to pre empt any. While Wes Welker waited to say how thrilled he was to be back and how important football was to him and how his contract wasn't something he worried about because those things take care of themselves if you do your job.
Some of you need to enroll in enablers anonymous. Or stick to non team oriented passtimes like fantasy football.
Listening to Tanguay hammer Randy on the radio made me want to put my fist through the radio into his face.
Gary, shutup, don't run our superstar out of town unless you have an adequate replacement for one of the greatest WRs in history. If I don't punch you, watch out for TB.
Seems to me that Moss has realized that there's a good chance there isn't going to BE a 2011 free agency period and that the next time he's on the open market will be the Spring of 2012 at the age of 35, following a new CBA.
Even if he has a great season that's 2 years older, at an age when few WRs perform well.
Once he understood that, then getting the guaranteed money of a contract extension in his pocket now probably became a priority, giving him the pocket change he needs to weather a lockout season.
So to me this new rhetoric is Moss backing off his earlier statement of being zen about heading into free agency. I'd think the Patriots may find that his contract demands may have dropped if they're interested in looking into this...
I'd re-sign Moss in a heartbeat if we knew there'd be a 2011 football season. Giving him a ton of money now, thereby eliminating his one and only incentive to play hard in 2010, and watching the Patriots invest in a 35 year old WR for the next season they may play is a questionable policy.
People like you are exactly what Moss was talking about. I know that you get absolutely giddy everytime a player that you don't like missteps, but if anyone else was overreaching as far as you are I'd assume they were joking.
Glad people didn't keep spewing the same crap about Randy Moss sounding clinically depressed and having a meltdown (somewhere around page 7...)
I noticed that there are A lot of followers on this site....
I think he is depressed TBH. We as fans need to show him he is wanted and appreciated here!.
Can't really blame him. If I had "fans" of mine calling me Fido and dog faker during my only bad game in 3 years, I'd feel like crap too. About 100 things happen on the field that most message board posters or media wannabes don't realize.
At one point during the PC, I honestly wondered if he'd stumbled across the dog-faker thread. The idea that some players might have actually read a thread or two on this forum makes me feel bad about all the guys that I've been critical of.
I can assure you players read message boards. High school college and pros it doesn't matter a lot of them read stuff posted.
