smart move for the vikings...

however as a favre fan, he will end up throwing to the wrong team at the most important time during the most important game.

Well...Minnesota fans will be happy.

WooooooooooooooooooooooooHoooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

WooooooooooooooooooooooooHoooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's definitely a good thing for us and the Vikings - much needed!

[korndawg]

Quite the upgrade from Hank Baskett or Bernard Berrian!!

Brady probably had him kicked off the team because of how much crying he does.

[FasstChevys]

The word through the grapevine is that part of the reason Belichick traded Moss to the Vikings is because he wants the Vikings to beat Jets on Monday night.

I guess that's 'believable'.

Brady has been his biggest public supporter from the Patriots squad.

He was in the last year of a 3 year contract and would become an unrestricted free agent at the end of this year. The Patriots had already said they really couldn't sign him next year and be under the cap, and Moss knew that as well. The Pats knew they could move him now and get something in return for him, so they did. The Pats have a ton of draft picks for next year, this added more. The Pats are building to be great again 2-3 years.

Well there goes a good receiver well we still have welker! still for only a 3rd round pick thats pretty pathetic i do say!

AD is gonna love the new defensive schemes that he'll see! Ain't gonna be no stacking the box now!

To me this is a sign that the Patriots do not think they are contenders this year.

Every team thinks they are contenders when you have moss bitching about a contract and wanting to be traded. instead of using him the whole year than losing him for nothing trade him now and get something for him!

yep.....Brady knows his job just got harder. This deal makes sense for everyone really. Moss goes to a team that will give him an extension, Vikes get a receiver that Farve can overthrow too, and the Pats now have 8 picks in the first 4 rounds of the draft. Win-win-win.

He bitched after the first game of the year, and he apologized for it, nothing since then. It was a 3rd round pick , not anything great considering the talents of Randy Moss. Now teams can key in on Welker.

cant stand bellichec, brady or the patriots... its the only team i hate in the nfl..

maybe it stems from being a kid in chicago and them being the enemy when the bears crushed'em in 85....

All of this doesn't matter if they strike after the season.
