I, like many people, struggle with faith, spirituality and religion on a daily basis. I’m not sure what waits for us on the “other side,” or if anything waits at all.
But tonight, after the Giants denied Randy Moss a Super Bowl ring, I feel better about all of that.
Moss is supremely talented, but he sleepwalked through two seasons in Oakland, sandbagging it so hard that the Raiders eventually gave him away to the best franchise in football for a measly fourth round pick. And, for a while, it looked as if Moss was going to get a Super Bowl ring.
But a higher power…or karma…or maybe just a great Giants defense…something intervened tonight to keep that from happening.
Thank you, whatever or whomever is ultimately responsible. We are all grateful. (Well, all of us outside of New England, anyway.)
That’s a great point about Moss. He wouldn’t even finish his routes before heading to the sidelines to slump on the bench.
I knew I had seen that sour-puss facial expression he made on the bench in the first half (when he wasn’t getting the ball) before…
Just another example of what happens when things aren’t flying his way – so long as he’s the superstar, everything is gold.
If you can get him frustrated, he’s done. That’s been the MO since he was with the Vikes. Don’t let him get started – take him out of the game early on. He’s an off the charts talent and always has been – he’s just a mess en la cabesa.
