Moss Erupts

Randy Moss really let loose during his post-game press conference yesterday. It was his first time addressing the media this season. He certainly spoke with a great degree of emotion and honesty.

I find it puzzling that the team has not initiated any prior contract talks since he will be a free agent at the end of the season. Perhaps his days are over here because of the high cost to retain him and Wes Welker whose contact expires after the 2011 season.

Moss was just being honest when he said that there is a perception that he is a bad guy. When he started to answer questions, he became agitated and probably said things that will get spun by the media.

Given his long history of media problems, it seemed inevitable that there would be a day like this. His comments appeared to be self-centered and took attention away from a great effort by the team.

Was he being honest when he said that he wanted to get this off his chest and not be talking about it during week 10? Fans should hope this is the case. Maybe silence from Moss for the rest of the season is the best route to take.

It will be interesting to see how the front office responds to his comments. He indicated that he wants to stay here and doesn't want to play for another team.

He will be under a microscope for the rest of the season. Somehow, I don't think this has ended. It might get messy before it's over. It remains to be seen where this all ends.
