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.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

beast (10-Feb) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (10-Feb) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
