Maybe it was because he was rocking a Georgetown sweatshirt during his "I'm going to conduct my own interviews" press conference. ;D
Reminded me a little of AI. Anyways, just another bizarre chapter in what is turning into a meltdown of a season in Minnesota.

My counter to that : Brett Farvre is still there
I guess it's okay to sexually harass, play awful, and hold a franchise hostage - just as long as you don't backhandedly compliment the other team. The message here has to be that in the org chart Farvre ranks higher than Childress but Childress ranks higher than Moss.

Barring additional info, echoing TC, this seems awfully petty, given what the Old Bullslinger puts them through.

and last week, Childress threw Favre under the bus.
Frankly, I'm not a fan of Favre, Moss or Childress, though they did get to the NFC Championship game last year (sans Moss). Gotta hand 'em that.

So honestly, what are the odds that the Pats resign him? The deal they would have to pick-up is the same one he left with, correct?

So honestly, what are the odds that the Pats resign him? The deal they would have to pick-up is the same one he left with, correct? If he wants to go the Pats and they want him, here is how it would likely go down: 1. Minnesota places him on waivers - it is not clear yet that Childress had the sign off to do this, and it appears he is not officially on waivers as of today. 2. All 30 remaining teams not named New England decide he is not worth the risk of $3.4 million (his remaining pro-rated contract), perhaps because they know he wants to go back to Belichick and he has shown no compunction about disrupting situations he does not wish to be a part of. If any other team wanted to take that risk, they would have waiver priority over the Patriots by virtue of them currently having the best record in the league. 3. New England just waits 24 hours for the waivers to clear and signs him to whatever deal they work out, probably for much less than $3.4 million. They would have no reason to make a waiver claim if they already knew Moss wants to come to them - it does not give them priority over anyone. Randy makes out well here - he gets the $3.4 million from the Vikings plus, say, an extra $1 million from the Patriots. The Patriots also make out pretty well - they managed to trade a 4th rounder, a 7th rounder, and 3 weeks of Randy Moss (including one week where he scored a TD against the Jets and one week where he did nothing against them) for Deion Branch, a 3rd rounder, and $2.4 million (in the example above). The Vikings did not do so well. |

I don't see either: Belichick bringing back the media circus that was and will always be Randy; and 30 teams passing on him. Randy is an incredible talent but the Pats like peace and tranquility and had their time with 81. Plus there are plenty of teams out there who would be willing to chance taking Randy, quirks and all.
Is he officially on waivers or not?

this is childress trying to ACT like he controls this team. there is no way childress can do what he actually wants....get rid of favre....so he gets rid of randy for telling the truth about this mess of a team. zygi isn't very happy about not being involved in this decision.

Well, if the Vikings weren't going to win the Super Bowl this year (and they weren't), at least we're going to get the second best thing--a new coach Seriously, there are few things I'm as grateful for as 1) picking Georgetown instead of a school w/o a major sports program and; 2) Georgetown hiring JT3 so the Hoyas would be good again. I feel so sorry for my fellow Minnesotans who have literally nothing to look forward to until baseball season once the Vikings' annual failure occurs |

Well, the Minnesota Wild don't suck.
They're not great, but they don't suck.
And Minnesota-Duluth is a powerhouse on the ice. (The Golden Gophers are pretty good too.)

I always forget about the hockey teams, confirming my status as one of the few native Minnesotans that knows how to skate but never played hockey and don't follow hockey But you also missed my point, which is that JT3 is AWESOME and so is Georgetown basketball! ;D |

The Vikings are a circus, and Chilly is a doofus. Also, Moss is an idiot, but that isn't exactly a state secret.
Can we rejigger the schedule so that the Vikings and Cowboys can play each other every week? It's the greatest show on earth!
