Depressing video

**VIKE$4LIFE** · 05-19-2005, 03:56 AM

I know this topic is discussed over and over again but please indulge me. And Please persuade me that the moss trade was good for the vikings, I just don't understand how we gave withought question at least one of the top three recievers of all time for a solid linebacker, and two draft picks. With the recent rumors of the moss trade happening because of a disagreement moss had with our F#$%*#g stupid owner red MCcombs about being a cheap ass, (which I totally agree with) it is obvious moss wasn't a bad teamate and if you look at his off-field annoyances they really aren't that bad,during his nfl carreer he "nudged a female trafftic cop in Minneapolis, sqirted water at a field judge, leaving the washington game two seconds before it ended and mooning the green bay crowd. I think we could have kept moss and still made those great additons to our defense. By the way I know someone already posted this video but its what got me so depressed about Randy leaving;

I'm going to miss him too, as well as most Vikings fans. But the point is we have to move on and make the best of the decisions that have already been made for our organization.

it hurts bad not to have the best wr in the game, but I love the way tice is taking the team. he is putting together a championship team. Not just one that will score points. Moss was a cancer to the team attitude!

I don't understand the trade either. I wish Red was gone two years ago so that a new owner could have set this new chain of events into place sooner.

After last year was said and done we paid our team UNDER(yes, under) the league minimum. F*ck McCombs! The Randy trade aside, he screwed the fans (us). We didn't stand a chance in the playoffs last year. Our defense was inadaquate to say the least.

At least he tried screwing Fowler to give us something in return, I'll give him that.

Here's my take on the Randy trade...

Randy was the heart and soul of the Vikings, not Daunte. Fans came to see Randy and his skills. The Vikings get national attention because everyone wants to see Randy play. He's the best player in the most exciting position in the game.

Most of the negative publicity about Randy is media hype, and I disagree he's a cancer to the team. He's a fierce competitor who wants to win, and when he is surrounded by a stupid cheapskate owner and a defense can't walk and chew gum at the same time, you can't blame him for being disillusioned.

Cancer to the team? No way. Randy's always cheering on his team and it's only when his team mates let him down that he loses confidence in them. Walking off the field in that Redskins game is the sign of a player frustrated at the mediocrity that surrounded him. I'd be pi$$ed too if my team mates continually rely on me to win games, rather than stepping it up themselves.

Randy was NOT a leader, nor did he try to be one. He was a sh!t hot player who got let his skills do the talking. All this talk about letting go of Randy to let Daunte take over the team is bullsh!t. Daunte had always been the team leader, and even Randy acknowledged that. Daunte never really took charge of the team, and everybody blamed Randy for being a distraction.

With all the rumors and all the bullsh!t put forward on why Randy was traded, I still haven't heard anything that would justify trading the heart and soul of the Vikings. He's not a model citizen, but he certainly wasn't hurting the team either.

Even if we win the superbowl it would be bittersweet because we would have done it without Randy...

I didn't find that video depressing at all. It was fun to watch Moss tear up the field. It will still be fun to watch Moss tear up the field with the Raiders.

The Vikes will be fine. They are one of the winningest franchises in the NFL since their inception and most of those years were Mossless.

Our biggest concern right now is getting a new owner and getting a real coach. Tice should not be at the helm of this organization, we need a coach!
