Randy Moss Situation

It seems like there hasn't been a single week this season for the New England Patriots where they haven't had to face some kind of controversy. Rodney Harrison HGH suspension gate (New York Jets). Handshake gate (Indianapolis Colts). Spygate (entire NFL). Run up the score gate (Dallas Cowboys, Washington Redskins, Miami Dolphins, etc.). Vince Wilfork fell into me on purpose gate (Buffalo Bills). It's been a never ending stream of media hype every week, with Skip Bayless on ESPN always vehemently arguing the asinine side every argument. So this week some girl in Florida files a restraining order against Randy Moss. At first people weren't sure if it was Patriots Star receiver Randy Moss. It might've been another Randy Moss. But no, it was in fact the wide receiver who holds the NFL record for TD grabs in a season, #81 in your program but #2 (to Tom Brady) in your heart Pats Fans, Randall Gene Moss.

Randy comes out yesterday morning and talks with the press at length. This is the longest I have ever seen a player stump from their locker. He said that he told Belichick, and BB said to focus on football. But I am sure BB also gave him permission to give a vehement denial to the press.

Today word from the accuser's lawyer comes out that she injured a finger, but it was neither CUT nor BROKEN. Moss lawyer claims that she hurt it during "Consensual Horseplay". She never claimed that he hit her. So, that's where we stand. Sounds alot to me like she stubbed her finger, saw a chance to get some money out of a millionaire NFL star, and made her move. At least that's what I believe is the most likely scenario as of now, given the evidence.

Regardless, why do we have to get hit with another stupid controversy? Every week. And now all we get to hear is endless debate about Randy Moss' character, with Skip Bayless arguing he should in fact be neutered. I just want to hear them talk about this weekends matchup. Give us the facts on Moss' situation then talk about the game. Because right now hurt my finger gate sounds like a non-story to me in terms of how it will impact the Patriots against the San Diego Chargers. Last time they played the Chargers the Patriots were on the front page of every sports paper in the country. Being called cheaters. Their Super Bowl wins being called "tainted". Do you really think Randy Moss being accused of twisting some girls finger is going to cause the Pats to lose focus? In the AFC Championship? Being 17-0? Uh, no.
