Randy Moss back to Minnesota
http://sports.espn.go.com/boston/nfl/news/story?id=5653186
I watch a lot of ESPN and I must say there has been a LOT of coverage of Randy Moss being traded from the New England Patriots to the Minnesota Vikings yesterday. I love football, and I love the NFL, but it seems like we haven’t seen coverage as in-depth as this since…Brett Favre. It just so happens the two have united in Minnesota, causing a media splash. My point is, it drives me crazy when a big name athlete gets traded or signs with a different team. This is not news, because trades and transactions happen on a daily basis in the NFL. The same thing happened with LeBron James when he decided to sign with the Miami Heat this summer. The coverage on LeBron was absolutely ridiculous. He couldn’t go to the bathroom without an ESPN viewer having to hear about it. Would someone PLEASE wake me up when all of this Randy Moss news has blown over? Thank you.
In the world of sports, this matters, Jordan. Especially big name players like Moss. It doesn’t hurt that he’s going back to Minn, and that he has something of a history. How many teams has he been on now? Complaining about this kind of coverage is kind of like complaining about papparazzi — you may not like it, but you can’t stop yourself from reading it.
