Moss Waived By The Vikings

I knew Randy Moss was in trouble for criticizing the Minnesota Vikings and fondly reminiscing about his days with the New England Patriots like it was his long lost childhood in yesterday's press conference after the Vikings lost to the Patriots.  But, I had no idea that the Vikings had the cojones to release him.

The Vikings lose next year's 3rd round draft pick and gain a 7th round draft pick from the Patriots in 2012.  I guess the Vikings organization felt it was time to cut its losses in its 2-5 season.

Vikings linebacker Ben Leber said head coach Brad Childress did not give a reason for Moss being let go.  Moss' agent said that his client is "very sad" about being released.

Reaction is already being posted on YouTube:







Ujvary16 - You might want to turn down your recording volume or not talk so loud.  Also, Moss can't be picked up by just ANY team. For 24 hours he is on waivers and priority goes from the worst team to the best team. So Jerry Jones, do you have the cojones to pick up Randy Moss?

And here's one more reaction. I wonder if this is a frustrated Vikings fan?
