Union-Tribune newspaper has this to say (in part):
Ay, and there's the rub about Moss. How will he choose to play tomorrow?
Maybe the frigid weather or the Chargers' supreme interceptors in the secondary can conspire to shut down the Brady-to-Moss connection tomorrow. Taking Moss' track record into account, though, there's also the thought that perhaps only Moss can take himself out of his game. And will.
Some of his worst performances – games in which he tends to look mysteriously uninvolved – came immediately after he's become embroiled in one of his many legal entanglements. Over the past few days, nearly the only quotes you'll see or hear out of Moss are his emphatic denial that he struck a Florida woman who's accused him of battery during New England's bye weekend.
Moss, who informed Belichick of the battery issue last Friday, had only one reception in New England's playoff victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
“However he deals with it is how he's going to deal with it,” running back Kevin Faulk said. “I wish I could tell you he's going to be clear-headed, but ultimately, as much as we help him, it's a situation he has to deal with. We have to assume he's going to be able to do his job, no matter what.”
