Well, Minnesota is bringing back Moss, trading a fairly high draft pick to do it.

Did you mean to compare Moss to Scal, and the 3rd rounder to Garnett?

I'm sure Minnesota fans are thinking that it's about time that New England teams did them a solid.

....walking up to someone and saying "Hey. I got this problem pet. It doesn't work any more and I'm positive if I keep it much longer he'll run away and end up in a shelter where you can get him free anyway in about a week. Will you give me $2000 for him"?

And then the other guy says "Well it looks like just the pet I've been looking for. Sure I'll give you that much. Heck. I think I just fleeced you. You'll never be happy now".

It's like that

From what I've read and heard, Moss never wanted to leave Minny, and it showed in his nalf-hearted efforts at times. He's a hugely ego-fed personality, and watching two sub-six-foot receivers getting all the yardage was probably the last straw, (even though there was double-coverage on him throughout the whole game last week. Hard guy to replace, though, cuz our long-pass game just became a very small concern to opponents ... really hard to replace.

The Randy Moss trade is like... accidentally leaving your ATM card @ home when heading out to a raging bachelor party. You're really upset and believe your whole night may be sunk. However, shortly after you wake up Sunday morning, you realize that it was a blessing in disguise.

     I think it's funny when people criticize Moss saying he was doing a lot of complaining befoire his contract was up. You mean like every good union does before THEIR contract is up? Most people would do the same, is all I'm saying.
     Who knows what was going on. Bruschi said there was a lot of bad stuff coming out of Moss in the locker room but I'm not sure who to believe. He wasn't there.

Trading moss just seems dumb to me, we can try and defend the patriots all we want, but the bottom line is their window is closing and in back to back seasons they have traded away one of their best players with no apparent replacement. Tom Brady is not 28, he is approaching his mid 30's and has already had one severe injury. Also, we all want to say Moss was a huge cancer now cause it makes us feel better but the fact that Brady and Wilfork the team's biggest leaders say such positive things about him as a player and a person doesn't exactly speak to that being reality. If moss got a little upset for not being targeted at all, I can even understand that. In the first half the Patriots were struggling to move the ball and giving him a few bubble screens certainly would not have killed the teams offense. Finally, if you are gonna say the Pats were never going to resign Moss, then why not draft dez bryant? He has already helped the Cowboys some and that is on a team with some pretty talented wide recievers in front of him. When you look at the whole picture of the Patriots moves the last 9 months the moss trade for a third rounder, not drafting bryant, not trading a 4th round pick for Boldin etc, they just don't make sense....If Tate explodes and has a Miles Austin like ascent then I will eat my words, otherwise its just bad.

When the Pats got Moss a few years ago, they became a long ball team that other teams couldn't handle.  They spread the field and scored at will, it seemed.  But since then, the league has caught up to it and figured out how to defense it, by double teaming and taking away the deep routes.   This leaves them vulnerable in the middle, and the Pats have adjusted their offense to go in this direction.
This leaves Moss as a decoy on most plays,  and if he wasn't in a contract year, I think he would have been ok with it. 
But he knew they weren't going to resign him, and he didn't want to hit free agency with low numbers.  So he demanded an increased role or a trade.  He got the trade.

He told Tom Brady he looked like a girl with his hairdo and he was gone a few days later.  Pretty funny stuff I saw on comcastsportstonight.
