Here is how it usually goes. Athlete comes to town.
Athlete gets big contract.
Athlete does well. Happens over and over. Over and over. And then, once in a while, a story breaks the mold. Which brings us to the curious case of All-Pro receiver Herman Moore, who holds the Lions' records in catches, receiving yards and touchdown catches, never wanted to leave, was willing to take a pay cut, is only 31, and still, by the skin of his chin strap, just missed being run out of town.
