Wow!

Did you see the news about the Vikings releasing Randy Moss?!

I will readily admit that he hasn’t made a huge impact yet in his brief return to Minnesota.  And clearly his nutso postgame comments on Sunday were beyond the pale.  But, still…

In the history of sports, has a player so talented been sent packing by two different teams in so short a time?

And while the Patriots parlayed the Moss trade into some future value for themselves, the Vikings simply waived him.  They got nothing for him.  Is there no market for this guy? 

How bad a guy must he be for both the Patriots and the Vikings to decide, within a few weeks of each other, that they would be better off without him?

And as though there weren’t enough issues swirling around the 2-5 Vikings this year, now this…  Wow!  Favre was so eager to have Moss, even dating back to his days with the Packers.  How does he feel about this decision by Minnesota management? 

Crazy stuff.  One of the truly unbelievable parts of this football weekend, and one of the most stunning stories of the 2010 season.
