    Ah, the old sullen, black athlete stereotype. Plenty of white folk have been dragged down by the morass in Oakland. Not sure if Moss is the best choice, but I can see it not being an absurd choice. And Lupica and Ryan picked white people. Discuss.

    Oh. Never mind.

    Much like TO, Randy's been a sulky bitch when things haven't gone precisely his precious way, for years. It's hardly color-exclusive, though it took Elway a long time to find himself part of the complete team he needed. Eli?
    Schauenfreude.

    Lupica and Ryan don't take offense when someone asks if they want cream in their coffee.

    Moss is a quiter, and not just last season in Oakland, he often quit in Minnesota, especially in the NFC Championship game.

    Agreed, 'Yab....until Moss comes through in the playoffs/Super Bowl, he shouldn't be player of the year over the other choices.
     
  5. When he comes through in the playoffs, what's 'yab's problem going to be?
    Wait, I have a thought...

    Unless some team triple-covers him, would expect Moss to enjoy a prolific postseason, though it wouldn't spoil my January to see them beaten -- and that sentiment has NOTHING to do with Moss.

    Um, it's player of the year for 2007, not 1999-2007.

    Yessir. But part and parcel of this discussion is players who've picked their spots in relatively-obnoxious fashion, and we were striving for a measure of racial balance.

    Well, Moss has picked all 15 games to be his spot, and the Pats don't go 15-0 without him. I'm liking Rhoden's pick better when taking the counterarguments into consideration.

    Well, if Moss has a good playoff season in 2007 you can credit the fact that he had Tom Brady throw it to him and Bill Bellichick coach him, rather than the stiffs, morons and losers he's had in the past. Such as Aaron Brooks, Norv Turner, Mike Tice, Art Shell, Daunte Culpepper and Denny Green.

    I guess you could say that without Brady and Coach Hoodie, Moss would be just another whinning bitch.

    He's made a really, really good team really, really, really good. Essentially, he could call his shot, and did . . . especially since it was clear after his dogging it in Oakland that it was going to take a creme de la creme situation to get him to maintain his focus.

    Not quite ready to genuflect at that conduct sequence, thanks.

    It's player of the year, not the Lady Byng.
