Re: NFL Off Topic
8 years ago today...
As trades go, this was a steal, a legacy-enhancer, a move that helped propel a club to one of the most dominant regular seasons of all-time.
It was, of course, the deal that brought wide receiver Randy Moss to New England for a mere fourth-round pick, and it happened eight years ago Wednesday.
Then 30 years old, Moss was coming off a 42-catch, 553-yard season for Oakland in 2006. Viewed that way, a fourth-round selection wasn’t a terrible haul for Moss.
But Moss, as we now know, was far from done, and in 2007, Moss hauled in 98 passes for 1,493 yards and 23 TDs as New England rolled to a 16-0 regular season and two playoff wins. Moss would go on to have two more 1,000-yard seasons for the Patriots before he was dealt to Minnesota in 2010.
The Raiders, meanwhile, couldn’t turn that fourth-rounder into an impact player, selecting cornerback John Bowie, who played just five regular-season games with the club.
In the end, the Patriots won big on a calculated risk. The Raiders, their trading partners, did not do nearly as well, but it wasn’t as if they were dealing Moss as the top of his market value. Making matters worse, the Raiders had dealt for Moss at that very point two years earlier, when they sent a package including a first-round pick to Minnesota for the star receiver.
Ultimately, the Raiders and Patriots were both acting logically. The Patriots saw a chance to get a talented receiver for a relatively small cost, and the Raiders were clearly happy just to get something back after a so-so season from Moss.
That doesn’t mean history will remember the trade kindly from Oakland’s perspective, though.#RespectTheCultureComment

Time sure does fly. I remember that trade and there were some that felt Moss was done. I wish he was GRRR but yeah, the Brady to Moss connection was something to behold.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

NFL Off Topic
Yeesh......
At least Jameis Winston could say he was making a joke, and half the people would think it was funny.
Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy decided it was a good time to get on social media and have some laughs, and revisit one of the biggest tragedies in our country’s history.
A Panthers fan tweeted out a photo of tall second-round wide receiver Devin Funchess next to tall second-year wideout Kelvin Benjamin, referring to them as the twin towers.
Hardy responded by saying “didn’t the twin towers get blowN up lol.”
Some stolen crab legs might be funny in some settings. The massacre of innocent Americans at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 will never be funny.
And neither will Hardy, who is suspended the first 10 games of the 2015 season for a domestic violence incident.Last edited by ProfessaPackMan; 05-01-2015, 09:32 PM.#RespectTheCultureComment
