I remember reading about how Randy Moss was in really good shape. Kind of surprised he retires now. Although, as someone else mentioned, a guy who spent two years in prison appeared to have been in a bigger demand than he was. That couldn't help the ego much.

Some of me, based on his performance and lack of drive last season, wants to believe that Moss has really retired.

In place.. I have to believe that he will be back when some team that has a winning record comes calling with a need at WR this season.

I don't think it is a coincidence that when Moss is on a winning team he performs well.. but when on teams that are not winning.. you get the Moss that isn't plugged in and well performs miserably. Basically if the team has a shot at the Superbowl.. I think he is game... when not.. he is not.

Randy plays when Randy wants to play..

I think it kind of sucks on how his lack of motivation kills him. I think he could have been one of the greatest right there with Jerry Rice if he had the drive.

I still think he's one of the greatest deep threats to have ever played the game, when he wanted to.

He was the best of the game when he was playing hard and certainly could have been thought of as one of the best receivers ever. Just goes to show you how big of a difference attitude makes.

Actually it is not a bad strategy the more I think about it.. he hasn't gotten the offer from the teams he wants to go to.. leaking it that he only wants to play for a contender.

So depending on his list of contenders, his market may be closed in his eyes.

By taking this step.. he is making it know that if you are a contender now or as the season rolls on, call.. if not.. don't bother.. also step up with a contract I deem acceptable.

Selfish.. self centered.. and not conductive to marrying him for multiple years.. but if you need a receiver this season, have a shot at winning it all... why not take the risk.

All this an Randy gets to skip training camp.. apparently a vogue thing these days.

(His first year in Oakland was actually quite good--1,005 yards receiving and 8 TDs.) Last year was only his second bad season out of 13.

I think he is a first ballot Hall of Famer. Here's a link to his career stats:

Of all the contending teams they look like they need to most amount of help with their receiving game.

beast (19h) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!
