Taking Shows Off

I usually enjoy listening to the post-game and daily sports shows discussing the Pats. Now it's getting ridiculous. There is some type of anti Randy Moss campaign going on out there. Caller after caller is accusing him of "taking plays off ".

Nobody seems to recall that Moss suffered from back pain during the Atlanta game. As one who has experienced back problems, this is not some type of injury that goes away over night. Moss has been hung out to dry since he has not been talking to the media and the team has a policy on talking about injuries.

Maybe Moss is getting frustrated from getting doubled team every week. While he getting coverage, this has opened the floodgates for Wes Welker and others. Nobody ever mentions this.

I heard two really stupid callers. One was from a guy who works at the stadium as a beer vendor. He said: "I've been around the team a long time and never heard the crowd boo like they did at Randy Moss." The caller went on to say he's been selling at games since 2005. I don't exactly consider this guy to be a long time observer. He wasn't even around during the Super Bowl run!

Another caller blamed everything on Brady. He said that Brady needs to step it up and be more of a leader. He suggested benching Brady and starting Brian Hoyer.After the season, he suggested trading Brady for a bunch of draft picks. No wonder I turned off the talk shows.
