So the news has come out that Randy Moss has been claimed off of waivers by the Tennessee Titans. I wasn’t necessarily glad to see him back in the game, but I was very glad to see him back out of our Division. Indeed, out of our Conference!
Meanwhile, in the wake of his abrupt release by the Vikings, several stories (and a TON of speculation) has come out about him -- the kind of person he is and the kind of player he is or can be. One particular story involves a recent outburst at a Vikings team meal. The story is worth reading just to get to the Matt Birk quote at the end.
I have disliked Randy Moss for years. It would be nice to see him redeemed. For as long as he is a jerk, however, it is satisfying to see him fail.
The fact that he is the Hall of Fame talent that he is but is now, at the age of 33, going to his fifth team speaks to what a problem child he is. Teams don’t let go of that kind of talent unless the accompanying baggage is simply not worth it.
Tennessee thinks the talent is worth it. We shall see.
