There are those who’d bet love comes but once and yet, I’m oh so glad we met, the second time around. -Frank Sinatra
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Randy Moss. Deal of the century. Steal of the century. Make you wanna jump up and squeal of the century. You can Herschel Walker me. You can Eric Lindros me. You can Lou Brock me. Heck, you can even Babe Ruth me. Wake up the damn Bambino and have me face him. Maybe I’ll drill him in the ass. The only trade that comes close is Joe Barry Carroll and Rickey Brown to the Warriors for Kevin McHale and Robert Parish. That’s it.
Randy Moss for a fourth round draft pick. Randy Moss for John Bowie. John Bowie. You may know him from Madden NFL 08. You may know him as CB # 35. You may know Randy Moss as a future first ballot Hall of Famer. You may know Randy Moss as the best wide receiver in football. Ever.
Here’s a guy who was washed up. A Fendi bag and a bad attitude. Moonshine Moss. All of it. Now here’s a guy wants to win. Now here’s a guy who believes his NFL legacy is tied to winning a Super Bowl and not to individual accomplishments. Part of a team. Teamwork. Looks, throws, catches, hustles. Part of one big team. Now here’s a guy who was so intent on joining the Patriots that he chartered a private jet so he could make it to team headquarters and meet with owner Robert Kraft. Now here’s a guy who was so intent on getting that ring that he took a $6.75 million pay cut. Here is a man who would not take it anymore. A man who stood up against the scum, the dogs, the filth, the shit. Here is a man who stood up. Look at him now.
Since coming to the Patriots, Moss has been the consummate team player. With a healthy Brady, he finished his first season with 98 receptions. With a healthy Brady, he finished his first season with 1,493 yards and an NFL-record twenty-three touchdown catches. Moss finished the season undefeated. Neutralizing Randy Moss is a mission that borders on impossible. This defense will self-destruct in five seconds. And Tom Brady capitalizes. Again and again. Randy Moss: “Hell, I’m Randy Moss, what do you expect?” Nothing less Randy, nothing less.
Whwn Moss isn’t making plays of his own, he’s double and triple teamed. It opens up other receivers. It opens up the running game. Week after week, it all adds up to another victory. I love that smell. Ooooh that smell. Can’t you smell that smell? The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smells like… victory. Someday this war’s gonna end. Not this year. Not while Randy Moss is still around. The best trade ever. Haters keep hating, he’s coming
Public Spectacle:
Peace out homies. Six two and Even!

Where to start? Hmm, Well, your taking your homerism to heights not yet reached for starters. I fear there will be more wishes of planes landing on your head ( i realy liked that comment, planes?) from the legions, LEGIONS I tell ya, of Jerry Rice fans who would call him the best reciever ever. The best trade in football has to be Walker to Minnesota for a Dynasty in Dallas. And sorry Homer, THEE best trade ever, without a shadow of a doubt, If the 27 rings fit you must aquit, is Babe Ruth for No No Nanette, too easy. Call me when the randy moss trade = the Pats being called the best NFL frachise ever, bar none.
I'm agreeing w/ Mr. Public. Translate the $ paid for the Babe into today's money and besides, I think there were some other guys involved in the 27 rings. Mr. Rice was the best, for a little while, and may have stayed that way until Moss went to the Pats, and he's not done. Gotta love the thievery of those trades by Boston teams. Joe Barry Carroll…ouch!
Looks like a good one for the Pats this year.
Stan, may I call you Stan? Stop eating Josh's Cake. Before 2003 Josh would'nt have agreed with Josh on this. The Ruth trade not only changed the course of these two teams, but baseball itself. I honestly believe if it weren't for this trade, ESPN would have to admit there were more than two teams in the MLB. Again, call me when the Moss trade = superbowls, lots of superbowls
