Randy Moss

Filed under: NFLRandy Moss isn't known for his sunny disposition. In fact, he makes a point to avoid the media. Fans, however, are different.

It's a pattern that's persisted all season. The Raiders just can't seem to get over the hump. Oakland hasn't won two straight all season.  Warren Sapp was right after all.

Howard Bryant on the New England great:On a micro level, Moss is perhaps the most physically gifted receiver in the history of his position: bigger and faster than Jerry Rice, the best receiver of all time, but with outstanding hands and physical ability. But Moss doesn't play the game with the every-down ferocity of Hines Ward or the stoic, grinding execution of Rice. He is more mercurial. Oftentimes, it is obvious by his body language lining...
