What is going on in Minnesota?

The Minnesota Vikings are living the nightmare Thompson avoided when he dumped Brett Favre for Aaron Rodgers.

Saddled with a 1-2 record, a one-year $20 million contract for Favre and a Super Bowl-or-bust mentality, the Vikings are doubling-down on their conundrum by trading for Randy Moss.

Think about it. The trade of the league’s most talented receiver says far more about the level of desperation in Minnesota than it does about Bill Belichick’s dissatisfaction with Moss or Tom Brady’s inability/unwillingness to land Moss a contract extension in New England.

Oh, you believed the three years of “happy talk” Belichick and Brady showered on Moss? You believed Belichick when he said Moss was the smartest receiver in the league and Brady when he professed his undying loyalty to Moss?

You fell for the pimp game. Belichick and Brady said whatever was necessary to get Moss to show up for practice and run fly patterns on Sundays.

Moss is the unstable, super-hot girl you never marry. You tell her what she needs to hear, you might even give her the code to your garage door but you never commit. You enjoy the ride while it lasts and you move on without any hard feelings.
