Randy Moss will get another fate if he abide by the rule

If Randy Moss doesn't give up on this play, Brett Favre doesn't get injured. And if Brett Favre doesn't get injured, maybe the Minnesota Vikings go on to beat the New England Patriots and maybe Moss doesn't give his bizarre, postgame self-conference and maybe the Vikes are 3-4 today and thinking playoffs instead of sitting in the NFC North cellar at 2-5. And maybe Randy Moss would still have a job.

But Randy Moss did quit on the play. And on Monday, the custom nfl jerseys quit on him, making plans to cut the four-time All-Pro in a stunning move that was undoubtedly accelerated by his antics the prior evening. Coach Brad Childress informed the team of Moss' release during a team meeting on Monday while the receiver was still in Boston (he was granted permission to stay in the city after the game). Moss' name wasn't on the waiver wire on Monday, so the earliest his release could become official is Tuesday.

Moss had played in just four games for the china jerseys since he was traded by the New England Patriots. He will be placed on waivers where teams ordered by reverse won-loss record will have a chance to put in a claim on him. If no team does, Minnesota would be on the hook for his salary.


This play nearly sums up Moss' brief stint with the Vikings. The talent is still there, but the effort and dedication were suspect.

Even with Merriweather's interference, that should have been an easy touchdown. Moss lost his balance upon contact, but quickly regained his footing. If he had kept running and put out his arms instead of loafing, he scores with ease. Instead, he slowed to a jog and seemed to avoid the ball as it descended on the goal line (it's particularly noticeable on the replay that begins 24 seconds into the clip). Whatever the reason for quitting on the play, Moss cost his team a touchdown.

In the box score, the damage was negligible. Four plays after Moss dogged it, the Vikings scored a touchdown. After a successful two-point conversion, the Patriots' lead was narrowed to three points. But the box score doesn't tell the whole story.
Up until Sunday, his talent made the drama worth putting up with. Not anymore.
