Randy Moss....That's the Punchline.....

Seriously it's become that bad. Randy Moss has joined the likes of Michael Jackson, Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen. You say their name and people laugh. No joke is told. No limerick is uttered. The simple presence of their name emotes laughter. Now granted Moss hasn't done as much as the others to get to their point, or at least his actions aren't as extreme. But he has made a mockery of himself and his talents.

Moss actually falls where a lot of people fall. They can be explained and described under the hot/crazy scale that was unveiled by Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother. As Barney would say, you put up with a girls craziness if her hotness is always in positive territory. With Moss you would put up with the craziness if his talents on the field were beneficial to your team. He reached the point where he fell under the Mendoza line and no longer was beneficial to the Minnesota Vikings. Reports say he was not practicing and having detrimental effects to younger players on the team. That's the deal breaker for me. The minute his persona starts having adverse effects you cut the line.

And the really weird thing is that nothing is official yet. No papers have been filed. Nothing signed. Something smells like a rat. But I wouldn't be surprised to see Moss show up back in New England, all in Patriots garb, because Belichick is some sort of reincarnation of Lucifer. He plots how to take over the NFL, and some of his plots are starting to come through.

And lastly, I couldn't be happier that the Vikings suck. At 2-5 they will not make the playoffs. At best they finish 8-8, but I think under .500 is a greater possibility. And I don't feel bad for the fans. They honestly thought they were going to catch lightning in a bottle twice. you do not stand pat with your roster in the NFL and get better or stay the same the next year. It is a fluid animal. The Packers were up and coming and grew because they were young. The Lions revamped their front 7 and had a QB entering his second year as starter. Hell, even the Bears at least through money at a big name player in Julius Peppers. The Vikings thought they could get one year older, and still have the division by the balls. And you heard it here first kids. We will not have an NFL season in 2011 because of labor issues. And when it comes back in 2012, the Detroit Lions will run rough shot over this division. 2012 standings go Lions, Packers, Bears, and Vikings.
