I didn't believe for a minute that this would happen but I'm stoked.

Great, so along with our AARP QB, we've got a receiver who half-asses every play where he's not the go-to guy.

Well at least until Rice comes back and shows he's 100% he will be the go to receiver so that half-ass thing shouldn't be a problem. He also tends to be very good and well behaved in his first season with a new team (except for the Raiders thing which was their fault). I'm not sure how are AARP QB will be for the rest of this season but he was damn good last season and for better or worse our best option for this season. This could very well totally blow up and be a mess but I think the odds are as good or better that this could just blow up in a good way.

Moss is class with a capital K.

Seriously?? Wes Welker is as effective as he is in large part of the space Randy creates. Our Welker may very well be Greg Camarillo that dude catches everything. With some space he can get us those third and threes.

I posted the angel picture being a smart ass. I know Randy has his issues and is no angel but I also thinks he gets more flak than he deserves. I don't want to rehash all of the incidents but in the grand scheme of the dumb **** a lot of players have done in the same period of time Randy is not even close to one of the worst.

From a football standpoint he is going to be motivated when he gets to Mn. He will be a big difference maker for the club this season. Which is all that the ownership is really looking for. If he ends up being a rental and they win then it is worth it.

He instantly changes how teams will scheme for this offense and instantly gives the Vikings way more options and makes them more dangerous.

Shades of Tarkington coming back from the Giants.

Yeah, I was joking. But at least Welker can throw a friggin' block. I don't think Moss has thrown one since his rookie season.

If Moss doesn't half-ash it, he will outrun Favre's throws all day long...

I'm not sure why New England did it, but it's gonna change their game up a lot.
Welker does so well because Moss is on the field. His numbers skyrocketed when Moss showed up.
I think NE is going with a different approach, they showed it last week. They'll shorten the field a bit, and open their long game with a better short game. (Mainly being Danny Woodhead at this point.)
New England will be just fine. I think they're making the right move by changing their gameplan up. They're talented enough to do it.

I'm not so sure what kind of impact Moss will make in Minnesota. He sure can't hurt.
It's good to see that the Vikes are willing to go for broke here. This looks like they want to take their last shot at the big prize. It scares me to see what Minnesota will look like next year. Dismal is probably too optimistic?

Aquiring Randy Moss does add stimulus to the arena of one's brain.

Please expand, your Plato-ness.

(That made me laugh, by the way. Thanks, buddy!!! Sounded like you're selling deodorant.)

I'm glad to see Moss back in purple, especially as he winds up his career. The only question is whether the porous Vikings offensive line can protect long enough to let Favre throw long passes.

The big loser is Tom Brady. He just signed a long term extension, so he got paid, but he played for years without a credible receiving threat and now he gets to go back to that misery. He enjoyed having Moss to throw to for the past three years and now he’s going to be dinking and dunking again. Ah well, he’ll always have Giselle.

Him and Giselle are having problems. Well, he is. Giselle is supposedly "spreading it around" Tiger Style. Lots of pics out there.
So now he's out Randy, too. He broke up with Randy last week. Zero catches. Tom probably gave up after he dropped the easy one in the endzone, knowing Randy was down the road anyways.
Brady likes playing with a chip on his shoulder, and he likes to play angry. He should have plenty this year.
I really think the Pats are gonna be ENORMOUS for the rest of the year, borderline juggernaut. I think their second half is gonna be a thing of legend. It's gonna be tough to get by them.
The Vikes, not so much. Sad to say, cause I'm a Farve-lover.

None of it really matters. The Steelers will be taking home the big prize.
