And I still can't believe people think that Moss didn't put in work on non-gamedays to become as great as he was and do the things that he did.

I would honestly say there is a greater chance the high and mighty voters keep him out of the HOF for awhile than they don't. Sportswriters have been sitting in their chairs taking shots at Moss for over a decade. The Minnesota media who covered him (most of them are still around covering the Vikings) cannot stand him because he never gave them the time of day. When Moss got cut last season from the Vikings it was "let's all top each other blasting Moss as a terrible human being" in the papers for 3 weeks straight.
You guys remember when Moss supposedly yelled at an old food caterer in the lockerroom last year with Minnesota? The caterer has now become a cult legend in Minneapolis with the local media and they run to him whenever something happens with Moss to bury him. And you guessed it, today's paper again has the caterer's thoughts on Moss "quitting" and it must be karma. You can't make it up.
The good news is that the pro football voting is a lot more realistic than the MLB simply because there are so few voters (I believe 44) and most use their brain. And we also wait five years before voting. That helps. And the writers are also told in voting rules that off-field conduct is not to play any part in their voting. If Moss does not get in, and get in first ballot no matter who else is on the ballot, it's open season on the voters then IMO who obviously have an agenda and are not following the rules.
The beauty of this here? If this plays out how it could play out Brett Favre is going to be entering the ballot the same year as Moss. Lord Favre (with almost as many issues as Moss) and Randy on the same ballot for us to compare votes.

Didn't read anything after he tried to tell me I was wrong.

If Randy doesn't get in first ballot, it's over for the NFL hall of fame.
If arguable the second best WR of all time isn't a first ballot guy, then the second best QB can't get in first ballot. 2nd best RB can't get in first ballot, NOBODY can get in at any postion first ballot unless they are deemed #1 at their spot, that's what the voters would be doing. So that would include Favre, he can't be first ballot either.
Serious right here, voters need to start voting on TV in front of the world. I wanna see those !@$%%@%%@%%%* pull @%%% off like that with all of us watching and taking notes on them.
Having said all that, I can not wait for Randy's speech. What a blessed event that will be.

Like I said before, I don't see anyway Moss or TO get into the HOF on the 1st ballot, even though both are deserving.
I really believe some voters would feel it would be a slight to Jerry to let "bad" receivers like Moss or TO get in on the 1st ballot like he did.
Jerry Rice is going to be the only WR to gain admission to the HOF on the 1st ballot for a long time.
Speaking of Moss, anyone remember how Joe Buck acted like Randy strangled a baby after he scored a TD against the Packers and "mooned" the fans?

My fantasy teams have all had the same name, no matter the sport: Straight Ca$h Homie. And I will continue the tradition in honor of the greatest WR to ever lace 'em up.
Randy Moss is almost a myth. His legend is greater than Harry Potters. His aura spreads wider than Rick James'. Peter Pan was based off Moss' childhood.
Football will not be the same.
I'm going to play NFL2K until he makes his triumphant return. Shall be more anticipated than Jesus coming back to destroy every Walmart in the U.S. in 2012.

Well played.
In all seriousness though, Moss is my favorite player and I hope he doesn't actually retire and goes to play with the Colts. I think it's the perfect fit and dude definitely has something to prove, especially if he has been watching ESPN over these last 24 hours.

2nd best WR ever...and maybe the most talented

I don't think he's the greatest wide receiver ever like some are saying, but he's clearly number 2.

Moss is the most talented reciever to ever play in the NFL! Rice played with montana, young (self explanitory), and he also played with an mvp rich gannon.
If moss played with a brady/manning type qb his whole career his numbers would surpass rice's

It's not that easy saying his numbers would be better. Hypothetical numbers mean nothing, results do. Rice did have a more stable group of qb's and Randy would've benefitted from the same thing. His poor attitude has been his downfall though and the reason he's been on a few teams. He had Brady and Favre as his qb's last year. A player of his calibre shouldn't be on 3 teams in one year.
