message: Any thought on including his short-lived stint as a basketball player?  I can't recall which team, or which league he tried out for, but I do remember him playing in a game or two in the past 5 years.
:Yeah, I came on here in a vain attempt to prove he played for an independent team, I think the Atlantic City Surf.

message: What do you think about including the information on the 2007 possible trade to the Packers that did not happen, and Brett Favre's subsequent comments? I can see that this article is first and foremost about Moss and not Green Bay, but I think those quotes show Moss's standing with the rest of the league, even after his relatively unproductive years in Oakland. This information was removed, but reinstated so we could discuss it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Snowfire51 (talk • contribs) 23:15, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The reference is about Moss, and Favre's reaction to the Packers non-trade shows that even after pseudo-mooning the Green Bay crowd and having a subpar year in Oakland, one of the NFL's most respected quarterbacks still wanted to play with him. Snowfire51 02:49, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

text: I rewrote the paragraph to take out some of the Packers info, and make it more about Moss and the respect Favre had for his skills. However, I see you've already thrown out the edit before discussing it. Please discuss things on an article's talk pages civilly before throwing out other peoples work. Thanks! Snowfire51 03:34, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Please be civil. You threw this out before giving any referencs. The article states ESPN reported it, but does not state it is true. Moss didn't say that, and the article clearly says Packers GM Ted Thompson didn't say it either. Snowfire51 03:41, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

text: I never said "Moss would have restructured". The original paragraph was referenced. I rewrote that paragraph to try and make it more about Moss and less about the Packers, as you suggested.Snowfire51 03:54, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Packers and Moss

message: According to his article, Eric Moss was on the Vikings the season before they drafted Randy... is there any evidence that the fact that his brother was on the team was a factor in the Vikings selecting Moss?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by MichiganCharms (talk • contribs) 06:21, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I kinda think the Vikings selected Randy because of his skills, rather than who he is related to. oncamera(t) 23:32, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Editing 

message: Please add that on October 11th against the Denver Broncos, Randy Moss got his first career interception off of Kyle Orton.  Bill Belichick occasionally uses wide receivers as defensive backs, and that he put Moss in on an end-of-half hail mary, which Randy intercepted.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.176.13.59 (talk) 05:21, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

message: The trade has not been confirmed by either team, Randy Moss is still a member of the New England Patriots, until said confirmation is brought forth by the Patriots and Vikings. The source linked on the trade is not even a good one which does not say he was traded, only when/if he is traded. This needs to be fixed. Bazzledorf (talk) 15:28, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: See WP:V. Do not need official confirmation from teams; in fact, third party sources (i.e. ESPN) are often preferred. Pats1 T/C 15:29, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Which is why wiki fails miserably, I will also suggest you use a different source, as yours does not even say the trade was "complete", it only speculates on the possibility of the trade. Bazzledorf (talk) 15:40, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  free agent 

message: Randy Moss has been let go from the Minnesota Vikings as of Monday night, Nov 1st, 2010. Moss was with the Vikings for only four games. He still has a $3.8 million contract with the Vikings and will still collect $375,000 a week because the Vikings broke the contract. Moss will most likely be sought by the New England Patriots or the NY Jets. When Moss was asked where he wants to play he said "I want to play with my old Teammates, The Patriots, and catch passes from Tom Brady". Randy Moss and Tom Brady became good friends quickly when Moss was picked by the Patriots in 2006. Moss and Brady are the same age (33) and in 2007 Moss made NFL history by receiving 23 touchdown passes in one season. Those passes were made by Tom Brady.

replies: text: This is incorrect, Randy Moss has not yet been waived by the Minnesota Vikings and is still on the Vikings' roster. Head Coach Brad Childress has announced to the team during a team meeting on November 1st that Moss would be waived but no official move was made and Moss was not placed on the waivers on November 1st.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Footballguyca (talk • contribs) 09:55, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Not done: ESPN is reporting that Moss has been waived, or at least going to be waived.

message: This time, let's try not listing a player subject to waivers as a free agent. Moss will *not* be a free agent when he is listed on the waiver wire at 4PM today. He will only be a free agent this season if no one claims him. Bhirsch (talk) 16:47, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
