The Minnesota Vikings (apparently it seems more specifically, Minnesota's Coach Brad Childress) have committed one of the greatest acts of self-immolation in sports history today when they waived (cut) Randy Moss for being a little too cocky and a little too candid at a post-game press conference following Minnesota's defeat at the hands of New England yesterday.
I give up. No seriously, coddled Brett Favre for the sake of his precious streak was irritating enough- but this is sheer lunacy on the part of Childress. With Percy Harvin hurt, Minnesota is in sore need of receivers of which Moss is arguably one of the best out there. Brett Favre did not have a horrible day on Sunday and if he doesn't get too ambitious might be able to salvage something in the way of a season for the Vikings, but we need people who can catch the ball and more to the point we need a quarterback who is more consistent at throwing. Moss can't be blamed if the quarterback is throwing uncatchable balls...
Plus, really, it sounds like it was the press conference that did it. Moss has been a cocky bastard his whole career and that's not a secret to anyone in the NFL. If you weren't prepared to deal with his 'tude, why piss away the money and the draft pick to bring him to Minnesota?
So Dear Santa, for Christmas I'd like a new Coach and a new Quarterback!
