Will He or Won’t He? Part II


Our previous “Will He or Won’t He?” posting was in reference to Brett Favre deciding whether or not to play in 2007. This edition of the same question applies to Randy Moss. Will he or won’t he end up in Green Bay as the result of a trade between the Oakland Raiders and the Packers? The media have quieted down on this subject since it was the hot topic of conversation and columns a few weeks ago. We believe that if it were going to happen, it would happen this weekend or just prior to this weekend — around the annual NFL Draft (April 28th & 29th).

What do we think if it were to happen? If Ted Thompson feels that he, i.e. Moss, can still contribute at a high level after 10 years, and if Brett Favre thinks he wants to have another weapon to throw to, and if both outgoing team President Bob Harlan and incoming president John Jones think that it will not have a long-term adverse reaction with the fans, then we say go for it. Still, we have reservations about his being an inherent idiot, knowing full well that he will do something to upset the fans, the team, the League, and give the media something to say “we told you so” over.

Former General Manager Ron Wolf said recently in an interview with WTMJ radio in Milwaukee that if he were still in control, he would sign Moss “in a minute.” He also was recently quoted in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel as saying that he should’ve drafted Moss, regardless of what he thought about his character.

Hopefully, if they do sign Randy Moss, he isn’t “used up” as far as physical ability goes. We shall see what happens.
