Gathering Thoughts On Moss

I don't think we will ever get the truth about what happened to cause the trade of Randy Moss to the Vikings. It was a shock to all of us when you hear that they traded such a prolific receiver after only four games for a 3rd round draft pick next year.

Coach Belichick and everyone else has been saying the right things every week about Moss. Something must have sent Coach Belichick over the edge. Randy's agent had requested a trade after the first week of the season. His post-game press conference did not endear him to many fans. He came across as being self-centered and not caring about the team. Many of his teammates spoke in his defense.

Maybe Coach Belichick will write his memoirs someday and address this issue. There are rumors that they wanted to trade him before the season started. There are reports of of a verbal altercation with Coach Scott O'Brien during halftime of the Miami game. We will never know because of the wall of silence in the locker room.

It's hard to say how this will effect the rest of the season. It was perhaps a good time to do this during the bye week when the team was away from Foxborough. What does Tome Brady think? We will never get his true thoughts. He will talk the company line.

This has certainly helped talk shows, bloggers, commentators and other self-proclaimed "experts". Everyone has an opinion, but nobody knows all of the facts. I think this story will continue to grow.
