Skrappy1 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I just refuse to believe this rumor, Randy always struck me as being such a personable chap. The story making the rounds at the Senior Bowl is that Lane Kiffin's first attempt at establishing a rapport with Randy Moss didn't go too well. Think Shell vs. Porter. That confrontation, in the office of the head coach some 10 or 11 months ago, was the first crack in the foundation of the Shell regime. Kiffin, by contrast, supposedly had trouble reaching Moss by phone. When he finally did, as the story goes, Moss told him in a pointed, profane terms he wasn't interested in talking. It's been reported on a pair of ESPN radio interviews, and a source at the Senior Bowl confirms Kiffin vs. Moss was indeed a topic of discussion among coaches, scouts and personnel men in Mobile, Ala. It's worth noting that no one has gone on the record with this story as of yet. Like the party game in which a story is whispered in the ear of one and passed down the line until it ends up being something completely different or exaggerated, maybe it's not as serious as it sounds. http://www.ibabuzz.com/raidersblog/2007/01...ins-first-test/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REZ Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Raiders would be better off dumping him somewhere else and get some guys who actually want to play to replace him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 So Randy doesn't think Kiffin was a good choice? Is that what I'm hearing here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocNiner52 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Maybe he could join T.O. in Dallas and they could collaborate on writing children's books together I think it'd be a match made in heaven since they're both crybabies and have so much insight into child-like behavior. Maybe a guest appearance for both on the Dr. Phil show to kick things off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebdog Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 why are guys like Moss and T.O. tolerated in a professional league? ya, they have great ability but its a team sport. i'd do what the Eagles did to T.O. and fine him, suspend him, whatever it takes to get him away from my team and hopefully not have to pay him.

piratesownninjas Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I hope they just sit him the entire year. I hope they suspend him for conduct detrimental to the team and he sits on his slowing down spare ass. He doesnt deserve to play this game.

Bill Swerski Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Moss had more pure talent than any WR I've ever seen in the NFL. It's a shame that he decided to waste it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy n Dirty Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Despite the unusually-high number of drops, T.O. actually gives his best effort on the field. Moss doesn't even care anymore. Yup - both jerks off the field, but at least you can say about TO that he gives it his all, works hard in the offseason to be in top shape, blocks downfield on running plays, etc. Moss has no such redeeming value, just a boat load of underachieving talent.

That would be too funny...he probably would play for 2 or 3 games and then pull a Ricky Williams and retire from football after discovering heaven on earth for the self-described "Freak"...a city with legalized pot and prostitution Edited January 29, 2007 by Return Of S&B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TO also played through injuries and put of surgery to try and help out. Moss doesnt play reguardless... The NFL is about a paycheck to him. TO wants a championship. Very different players... Also, how many times has TO been in trouble with the law? none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogo2146 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I have that bag or crap in a keeper league and I hope they trade his sorry ass to someone that will throw the rock to him all day long.

The NFL is about a paycheck to him. TO wants a championship. Very different players... Also, how many times has TO been in trouble with the law? none. I'd agree that Moss is the worse of the two evils. However, I still think that both players do more harm than good to an organization. As talented as TO is on the field, you've got to question how many balls has dropped. He might be giving the physical effort, but, not always the mental one. What he does to an organization off the field is his biggest problem. He is a cancer, and I don't see him changing. Moss is so much worse, he is all the negative things that Owens is and also gives no physical effort either. I would enjoy the NFL much more if both of these guys weren't in it. They certainly don't deserve the gifts they were blessed with and the dream jobs that they have. Edited January 30, 2007 by Menudo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
