Randy Moss to the Pats?!
(Plus: Coaches Get Axed!)

Uh, no. It was a great NFL Trade Deadline rumor while it lasted -- and that's about four hours, via the always-must-read folks at ProFootballTalk.com -- but it looks like Randy Moss will not be going to the Pats, a move that would have undoubtedly turned the NFL on its head, made many people's eyes bleed, triggered an implosion of coverage, etc. But the latest? It's a non-starter. Drat.

Meanwhile, the Ravens fired Jim Fassel, their O.C. And Dennis Green continued his Tuesday Tirade by firing the Cards' O.C. Hey, Fassel's looking for a new gig...

Dammit, I wanted bleeding eyes! Is that too much to ask for on a Tuesday?

Honestly, I don't think the Pats want Moss. They just have cap space. Brady's developing good rapport with Doug Gabriel, another Raiders castoff. I think they'll be fine without him. Although I'd be curious how the Pats would deal with a "go-to" guy that they've survived just well without for years.

Really, with no Gabriel, Porter, and no Moss? Could the commish put the kibosh on such a deal anyway as not "good for the game" a la Bowie Kuhn used to do?

Granted, the raiders don't exactly have a QB to throw to any of those receivers, either.

I appreciate your effort, "DSI." I look forward to reading all the awesome comments you'll have for future posts -- with your real name! (Or, at least, the new fake name of your choice...like everyone else here!)

they won't have to woo, after this season, my guess is Chow is canned with Fisher. They shouldn't be, but they will be. And then Vince Young will have to learn another offense and he'll struggle and people will call him a bust, and he'll start robbing grocery stores. And this all can be prevented by not firing Fisher and Chow.

Randy Moss in a Jets uniform?

ESPNY would have non-stop coverage on his every move.

Here's the real trade move, the colts get a run stopper:
