Moss back in town?

Posted by JJ Comeau.


However, which town is it? The once-praised wide receiver jumped around three teams in 2010 before announcing his retirement. Word on the street, though, is that Randy Moss wants some more action.
I can remember sitting in Foxboro Stadium (yes, in 2002 it was still called Foxboro) on a cold November evening surrounded by Patriots fans who were staring at me because I was the only one around wearing a purple and gold Randy Moss jersey. I didn't care about the Vikings, in fact I was a Pats fan, but Moss was by far my favorite player in the NFL. Those were the days…

Now days, when you think of Randy Moss the first thing that pops in mind was how he exited the league: jumping from team to team to team, running his mouth, getting in arguments with staff members and players, and performing miserably atrocious. This is an image-portraying nightmare as the wide receivers amazing career and superb athleticism are deeply neglected.

Moss has amassed 14,858 yards along with 153 touchdowns throughout his career. His 954 receptions and 73.7 yards per game seem extremely fiction as he only played in 16 total games throughout his last three seasons. With the current outlook and situation put into perspective, which Randy Moss will be returning? And to where?

Many analysts out their have coinciding results regarding possible homes for the 35 year old. There is a lot of skepticism and thought about Moss going back to the Patriots, as terms with head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady are still content, however, his departure from the team in 2010 was of no effect. Other teams in the mixup are: San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, New Orleans Saints, and St. Louis Rams.

Bottom line: If Randy Moss is really going to come back then he needs to save himself the embarrassment and come back as the hall-of-famer he is and outperform is opponents to pave the way for a true Randy Moss retirement.

Gronkowski Resting for Big Night

Posted by JJ Comeau.

Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski showed little evidence of pain while celebrating the Patriots gut wrenching 21-17 loss following Super Bowl XLVI.

The 22 year old, who suffered a high ankle strain during the Patriots 23-20 AFC Championship win over the Ravens, only recorded two catches during his Super Bowl debut. His miserable performance did not carry into the late hours of Sunday night as he was seen rockin' the stage during an LMFAO performance along with left tackle teammate Matt Light.

The highly criticized dance party could have received even more negative attention, but the fact that it took place at the Patriots own after party helped Gronkoski and Co. save some face. Was this Gronks way of saying who cares about the outcome? I'm rich. Or was it just a harmless act used as a remedy to ease the pain of being a part of another Patriots' team who managed to blow a Super Bowl. Nevertheless, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, even though Eli was the one who drove away in his new Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Convertible.
