It appears the third time will be the charm for Moss, who was claimed by the Tennessee Titans Wednesday afternoon off waivers, shortly after the Vikings let him go.
I hope the Music City offers a phenomenal catering service to Moss’ liking.
Media reports circulated a bizarre case of displeasure from a player: the Vikings’ weekly catering service.
Apparently the food was not to Moss’ liking and he let the catering staff and entire Vikings roster know.
“What the [expletive]? Who ordered this crap? I wouldn’t feed this to my dog,” a player who witnessed the incident said, according to Yahoo! Sports.
So he will not speak with reporters, felt “not welcome” in New England but the irony of it all is that the Titans are welcoming him with open arms.
Not welcome? Yelling that you wouldn’t even give your dog the food catered to you in front of your teammates is a perfect way to alienate yourself.
Life is the Randy Moss show, and its evident the word “team” is something he fails to comprehend, let alone fit into his vocabulary.
But he has been given a second chance, a third coming to be exact (this is his third team of the season). The Titans were the 22nd team in line to could pick him up, the first being the winless Buffalo Bills.
According to media outlets, the Titans were the only team who were willing to claim him.
It appears nobody is worthy of taking the risk but the Titans, who take in a player that is certainly difficult to deal with, but also take him in halfway through the season, making it an even bigger risk.
You can argue that the professional level is where the deviation from the concept of a “team” begins–free agency, claiming players on waivers, mid-season trades, among other factors are what constitute a business industry more than a collective bunch with a common purpose.
But Moss is the absolute monarchy of the NFL. His desires, wants and needs predominate over everyone else. He not only wants to eat his cake and have it too, but wants the baker and giant life-sized Randy Moss cake all for himself.
You give him an inch, he wants 3,000 miles.
But the Titans are in dire need of a go-to receiver, and made it clear they were not taking any chances with receiver Kenny Britt. But the chances they are taking with Moss are astronomical.
How he will fit into the offense only time can tell. But Jeff Fisher might be the diligent listener and mentor Moss needs to bring him back to reality and out of the Randy Moss world.
This isn’t the Truman Show. The world doesn’t revolve around Moss.
Maybe Moss can recommend a catering service for the Titans. Better yet, he can offer to cook.
But if the food is not to his liking, just take the environmental route: use it as compost!
If you won’t feed it to your dog, you can use it in your garden or landscape.
