The Vikings did WHAT??

Randy Moss is going to be back in purple... hmmm... How strange is this? The Vikings acquired him from the Patriots in exchange for a 3rd round pick in next year's draft. That's a cheap price for someone who's basically the star player of his current (er, former?) team. I don't know, but I think there's a lot they're not telling us about this deal. I can see a 3rd round pick being a suitable price for a mediocre long snapper, or possibly a second string lineman with a history of injuries and drug use, but for a star receiver? That's dirt cheap.

This brings me to my next point. Why the hell are the Vikings taking this crazy ego monster back?? He was AWFUL the last time he was in Minnesota. The entire reason his contract wasn't renewed was because he brought down the morale of the entire team with his horrible attitude, and even mooned the crowd at the Metrodome once! Why on earth is Zygi, and the rest of the Wilf clan, even willing to entertain the thought of bringing this walking disaster back to MN?? I seriously can't believe it. Thak can't believe it. Most of the Vikings fans I know (Granted, I'm related to about 99% of them) are in disbelief. We don't WANT Randy Moss back! Sure, he scores points, and we may win a few more games, but at what price? The Vikings have always been such a classy team, which is why every Vikings fan can still hold our head high even after the heartbreaking loss to the Saints in last year's NFC Championship game. Our guys are classy, and they play right, and they're like brothers out there on the field. We don't need someone as divisive and egotistical as Randy Moss to get in the way of that. We know he can absolutely rip apart the cohesion of even the best Vikings team because he's done it before. Why would we ever want him to do it again? Of course, we have always known that the front office is notorious for dumb decisions (Tavaris Jackson, anyone???), so I guess even something as out of left field as this, should not come as a complete surprise.

I have a lot of friends who are Patriots fans, and they are absolutely reeling over this. He was their best player, and he was traded for a 3rd round pick. I say, if someone is so horrible to work with that the organization is willing to give him up that cheaply, why would you wan him in the first place? Everywhere Randy Moss goes, he brings a truck load of baggage and bullshit. As far as I'm concerned, they can keep him. We're stuck with him for at least a season now, though... I hope that this is only a temporary arrangement to tide us over until Sidney Rice comes back from rehabbing an injury. He has two more weeks before he'll be able to play again, and probably a few more before he is 100%, so maybe we're just using Moss until our REAL star player comes back. I hope that's all this is... I don't think anyone within the Vikings Nation can stand another few years of Randy Moss showing us his ass (literally).
