The surprise Monday wasn't that Minnesota and Randy Moss are about to break up up. The shock was that it came so soon.It usually takes teams a couple of years before they get fed up with Moss. The Vikings had all they could take after just four games, one win, 13 receptions and one bizarro press conference.
It came Sunday after New England beat the Vikings, 28-18, in Foxborough, Mass.
Moss wore a black Red Sox cap, extolled his love for the Patriots and questioned Minnesota's coaching. Coach Brad Childress apparently felt that if Moss loves New England so much, he should just stay there.
Moss reportedly wasn't on Minnesota's plane home. The Vikings will now get roundly ripped for trading a third-round pick for a guy they cut a month later. Fair enough, but they'll also deserve credit for correcting that mistake.
They should have known it wasn't going to end well with Moss. He's a 2-year-old trapped in a Hall-of-Famer's body. He bellyached his way out of Minnesota, then Oakland, then New England. Now the Vikings have cut him before he even had time to run over a local traffic officer, much less squirt water on a referee.
