Thread: Randy Moss waived bye,bye by Minesota Vikings

Lawl!

When will NFL teams figure out that cancerous wide recievers do more harm than good.
Its amazing how many wide recievers feel that they are bigger than the team and the game. More than any other position in my opinion. Moss, Ocho Cinco, T.O., and some others. Without a decent QB, they are nothing. Being an Eagles fan i saw what T.O. did to that team and not one other player had the balls to knock him out. just saying

Moss is a dickhead. TO is a dickhead. Ochocinto is a dickhead.

When he was playing, I had some reservations about Jerry Rice also.... but these clowns can't even hold his jock strap. Jerry played hard for his team(s). The only rant was not getting SB MVB.... and he was probably right.

Moss is a dickhead, but as a Packers fan I love it when he plays for the Vikings which is every other week, I think.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Used to love when receivers vertured across the middle. Every linebacker in the world loves to separate their body parts from one another, cocky little fucks. I remember reading about Butkus having a fantasy about hitting one so hard that his head actually popped off his shoulders and was rolling around on the field. What a great sport.

New England should claim him off waivers now. basically get a free 3rd round pick and not have to pay him 2 game checks.

LOL...what the hell? The Vikings are a freakin mess.

Makes you wonder about Childress a bit.... Both Favre and Moss have jumped on him.

That said fuck the Vikings..... GO PACKERS!!!!!

Childress has lost control and respect in his locker room. Brett Favre calls the shots. I don't see how Childress keeps his job. Word is the Vikings owner is upset that Moss got cut since he's the one that wanted to get him.

I would love the see them play together, can you imagine all the bitching they would do?

Boorish behavior also contributed to Moss’ demise

When Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress told his players Monday afternoon that Randy Moss(notes) would be released because “we want good people that are good football players, and this just doesn’t fit,” several of them nodded their approval. Though Childress isn’t especially popular in the locker room, some Vikings were on board with his decision to move on without Moss four weeks after the polarizing wideout was reacquired in a trade with the New England Patriots.
Even before Sunday’s surreal address to the media following the Vikings’ 28-18 defeat to the Patriots at Gillette Stadium – during which he questioned Childress’ leadership while effusively praising his former coach, Bill Belichick, and the Patriots’ organization – Moss had alienated some of his teammates with his brash, entitled behavior, most glaringly in an incident that occurred in the team’s locker room last Friday afternoon, Yahoo! Sports has learned.

As is the team’s custom on Fridays, a local food establishment was invited to the training facility to serve a catered, post-practice meal in the locker room. In this case, a St. Paul restaurant that is a favorite of former Vikings center Matt Birk(notes). As the proprietors helped serve chicken, ribs, pasta and other dishes to Vikings players, Moss paced up and down the serving line and loudly expressed his displeasure with the offerings.

According to one player who witnessed the scene, Moss yelled, “What the [expletive]? Who ordered this crap? I wouldn’t feed this to my dog!”

Said the witness: “It was brutal. The truth is, he deserved to be cut after that. It was such an uncomfortable moment. You know that feeling where you just can tell someone feels so small? That’s what it was like being there.

“This wasn’t a chain – it was a mom-and-pop restaurant, and you could tell it was their best stuff. They had a special carving station set up, and there were players and other support staff lining up to eat it. And [Moss] is at his locker saying, ‘You know, I used to have to eat that crap – but now I’ve got money.’ You just felt so sad for them. I had never seen anyone treated like that.

“And by the way, the food was actually really good.”

While Moss had his share of supporters in the locker room, some Vikings had grown disillusioned with his attitude. From the receiver’s uneven effort in practice to his displays of self-centeredness off the field, some veterans believed Moss was becoming a bad influence to young players like second-year wideout Percy Harvin(notes).

You just can't get the "hood" out of some people. Good manners is a direct result of upbringing and he obviously don't have any good manners.

Awwwwe. Poor baby is upset.

What did MOSS do exactly?

Moss did not hustle on the field, dogged it on plays where he could've made plays, and generally acted like a spoiled brat. Deserved to get cut.

That's a good question, and I think the answer is not much.

He refused to eat dog food.

I heard they were sending him to play for the Rams.

They could use the WR help.

The Rams are a young, developing team though and I'm not sure throwing Moss into that mix would be good for team chemistry.

Sorry, it looks like he's going to be playing for the Titans.

Tennessee Titans claim Randy Moss off waivers

Huh...actually seems like a good fit. Interesting that Tennessee was the only team to place a claim on him.

ESPN has confirmed that no other team placed a claim.

Three teams placed claims on Shawne Merriman.
