Randy Moss paints another thoughtful
metaphor for oh, so many things.
But what about the teams involved? The Patriots have gone all Redskins on us, acquiring Moss, Donte Stallworth, Wes Welker, and Adalius Thomas in an offseason spree that has to make them the Super Bowl favorites. Meanwhile, the Raiders used their fourth-round pick to draft John Bowie, a cornerback out of Kiffin College, which I believe is a small liberal arts school somewhere in Saskatchewan. I loved New England coach Bill Belichick's SportsCenter quote, saying "we worked hard to make this happen," or something like that. Well, did you really work THAT hard? You gave up a crappy draft pick for one of the most gifted receivers in NFL history. Was there a lot of wrangling there? What did you initially offer, like a bag of dried dog shit? A can of magic Goya kidney beans? Hey, Raiders. How about we let you give us Randy Moss, and maybe we could see our way to parting with, saaaaaay, this inanimate carbon rod. Don't look directly at the rod! It is very temperamental.
So all's well that ends well in the NFL. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and Al Davis continues to try and use a waffle iron to make a phone call. Dallas Cowboys on line two, Al. Or maybe your socks are just done drying.

This pisses me off. Sure, I'm a Steelers fan, and lately I've felt that the only thing standing between the Steelers and another ring are the Patriots (okay, and the Colts, and sometimes the Ravens too...).
But this trade makes no sense. Seriously Raiders? You just drafted a guy who can throw the football. Now, it's time to rid your team of anyone who can catch the football. Really? Way to go. Great draft day strategy there.
This means the Patriots will either go 16-0 (but lose to the black and gold in the playoffs) or 8-8 as Moss has a TO-esque meltdown the first time Belicheck disagrees with Randy's "I play when I want to" attitude.
Ahh... football. Can we please start football season already? thanks.
