Randy Moss Waived Abruptly

Just a few weeks ago, Randy Moss proudly held up the jersey of a team he'd formerly been a star with, reunited in Minnesota. But after just four games and 174 receiving yards later, the established receiver finds himself on waivers, released by the Vikings after they gave a 3rd-round pick to the Patriots for him. Maybe it was because he didn't put forth full effort, or some other undisclosed reason; whatever it was, Vikings head coach Brad Childress didn't give any idea. We do know that Moss was disgruntled with the media and with the Vikings, as he was upset that the Vikings didn't listen to what he had to say about the plays the Patriots might run against them. The receiver said he wouldn't speak to the media for the rest of the season after the Pats beat the Vikings, 28-18, (Moss having 1 rec, 8 yds) and the NFL fined him $25,000. Regardless of what actually happened, the reunion didn't go as planned.
