Boston fans can turn a player into a rock star or run someone out of town in a blink of an eye. The recent success of Boston sports has spoiled us as fans. Trying being a fan in Cleveland, they haven’t won a championship since 1964. If you drop a pass in Boston you need get out of town quicker than Jason Bourne. So why does Randy Moss feel “unwanted”? The greatest deep threat of all-time needs to feel more than welcome Boston fans, he needs to feel at home.
Earlier this week Randy Moss made remarks saying he felt “unwanted” and didn’t know if his future would be in New England. By Thursday his locker mate, best friend, and President of New England Tom Brady had signed a 4-year extension worth $72 million dollars. This week Brady and Moss had been going out to dinner to discuss their future plans. Brady’s plans are in New England so why is Moss currently not on any team after this season? Before Moss represented the navy blue and silver of New England he had a bad reputation. There was an incident where he didn’t comply with an officer’s orders to stop and decided to bump the officer with his SUV, he left two games early, he pretended to moon fans, and he has been cited for smoking marijuana three times. In New England all he has done is catch footballs.
Randy Moss has been nothing but business. In 2007 his first season as a Patriot he caught 23 touchdowns, the current NFL record. In 2008 he went over a thousand yards and caught 11 touchdowns with Matt Cassell throwing the football. Last year, more of the same with Moss going over 12,000 yards receiving and 13 scores. Now, at age 33 Moss feels a little a homeless. The New England Patriots run a system that all players follow and buy into. This system is different from any team in the NFL. It turned disgruntled running back Corey Dillion into a super bowl winner. Yet, Moss doesn’t feel like he fits into the system now. Moss is certaintly on the downside of his career, but he has paid his dues. He has earned respect. He has performed his duty on the football field since being in New England better than anyone expected, and that is saying a lot when you are Randy Moss. Boston fans don’t take Randy Moss for granted because he still has three good seasons in him. The number rule for the Patriots is keeping Tom Brady happy. After Moss made remarks about feeling unwanted the next day Brady stated Randy Moss was the best deep threat to ever play the game. It is scary how much we love Tom Brady, so how about we listen to him. An average Patriots fan would clip Brady’s toe nails if Tom asked them to. Let’s leave the toe nail clippers in the bathroom and give him Randy Moss instead, that is what he really wants.
