Randy Moss to New England:
Please Take Me Back
When the Patriots traded All-Pro wide receiver was dumped by New England, the Boston sports radio talking heads applauded the move, while most of the fan base thought the season was going down the drain. Despite a shocking loss to the Jets in the playoffs, the Patriots were a better team without Moss at the end of the day.
Fast forward to today and Moss, who is only outspoken when he wants attention, was on the airwaves yappin' in up today, talking about about how he loves New England, Tom Brady and Coach Bill Belichick.
Moss is a free agent this could be a plea from him to the Coach B. Mother Ship that he wants to come back "home."
Moss expanded that and other thoughts during a phone interview with former Vikings teammate Erin Henderson on KFAN AM-1130 in Minnesota on Wednesday.
"I would entertain coming back to Minnesota, but if you're asking me where my heart is," Moss told Henderson, "I think just the success as a wide receiver and everything the New England Patriots stand for — I'm a big fan of Bill Belichick, I really am. Not just on the field, I'm a fan of his off the field, because the little grouchy man that you see on camera is not what you see off camera."
Moss added: "If you're asking me where my heart and where I'm happy is, I love playing with Tom Brady. I love being coached by Bill Belichick. And people say, 'Well Moss, you got traded to Minnesota from New England.' Well, I just told you all this is a business and people have to understand the nature of the business. It's not just a sport. The sports comes along with the business. If you really don't think it's a business, then why are they sitting there fighting over $9 billion?"I personally believe that Moss wants to come back to New England because he had some flexibility here. He did pretty much what he wanted, when he wanted. Yes, Coach B. runs a tight ship, but he also knows how to manage his players, especially ones that play as hard as Moss does (when he's motivated).
If there is a season next year, it'll be interesting to see where Moss ends up and whether or not, that's wearing the helmet with the flying Elvis on the side.
