Revenge of the "Super Freak"

I mentioned before that Randy Moss is my favorite athlete of all time. Im not trying to start a love fest or anything but i figure since i cant sleep i might as well explain why he is my favorite and what teams i think would be a good fit for him Next Season.

It's not that i like Randy Moss the quitter or Randy Moss the food critic (see caterer gus tinucci), i like Randy Moss the "Freak". When Moss first entered the NFL in 98', he shook the league up. He posted a riduclous 1,313 yards, 19yards per catch, and 17 touchdowns (NFL rookie Record) from 69 receptions. That is not what won me over though. What won me over was the way he made those receptions. I never seen anyone who could jump the way he could. The one handed grabs, the constant burning of defensive backs, and tip toe touchdown receptions won me over. As a kid i wished so badly that he would play for the Steelers but it just wasnt meant to be.

I will admit that i dont like the way Moss took plays off  in his career, or entire seasons like he did with the Raiders, but there are worse things a person can do -cough- Ben Roethlisberger -cough- and don't tell me that Moss is the only player to take a play off in the history of the NFL. That would just be stupid. It's not right to take a play off and i look down on it, but lets be honest, it happens all the time in any sport. If we are going to criticize Moss lets criticize him for shootin the Moon at Lambeau. Ill admit that was a "DISGUSTING ACT BY RANDY MOSS."

Anyway Moss is a free agent come March 4rth so its time for Moss to find a new home. After playing for 3 teams this season (getting traded from New England back to Minnesota and getting cut and pick up on waivers by the Titans) i am going to pin point some good fits for Moss.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: The Bucs have a bright future and could use a veteran presence to go along with all of the young guys. Mike Williams is Randy Moss 2.0. He had 18 catches for over 20 yards and averaged 15 yards a catch. The learning experience would be invaluable for the 23-year old Williams. Assuming he would be willingly to play the mentor role, Moss could really help out Tampa Bay.

Washington Redskins: This one isn't to hard to figure out. They will be losing Santana Moss and the lack of a premier reciever will be shining pretty brightly. Losing one Moss and gaining another makes sense doesnt it?...

Jacksonville Jaguars: The Jags finished 27th in passing yards with 191 a game. Moss could be a real help for a team that is on the brink of making the playoffs.

St. Louis Rams:  This team really needs a playmaking reciever who is capable of stretching the field and catching the deep ball. Brandon Gibson and Danny Amendola are the teams leading recievers and i don't think anyone really knows who they are so its pretty evident they could use Moss.

New Orleans Saints: Why Not? They are one of the best teams in a weak NFC who im sure will be a favorite to make the superbowl next season (Despite thier loss to a 7-9 Saints team in the playoffs) so we all know moss should be happy and motivated thoughout the season. Brees to Moss: that just sounds scary.

Atlanta Falcons: They have "Rowdy" Roddy White so they dont need Moss but imagine White and Moss having footballs thrown to them by "Matty Ice". That would just be epic.

New England Patriots: This is when Moss transformed from "Freak to "Super Freak". I know they traded him last season but remember Moss was the one who pushed for the trade. Randy made it known last year that he was full of regret for forcing his way out of New England. Under the right circumstance i could see Moss returning to New England for a low level contract, maybe for 2 million a year, in order to play for the patriots. If Moss goes up to coach Bilichick and tells him he made a mistake and  will revert to the 2007 version of himself when he broke Jerry Rices record, i could see him possibly taking Moss back.

I believe the "super freak" has some gas left in the tank but just how much gas remains to be seen but for now everyone should check out this Randy Moss tribute.
