Report: Moss Served With Temporary Restraining Order
Woman In Florida Accuses Patriots Receiver Of Battery

A Florida radio station is reporting that a woman has filed for an order of protection against Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss, but Moss is denying the allegations.

Radio station 580 WDBO reported that the woman said in an affidavit in Broward County that Moss committed battery on her, causing serious injury and refusing to allow her to seek medical help.

Moss was served with a temporary injunction and ordered to not come within 500 feet of the woman or use or possess firearms, the station reported.

There was no indication when the incident was alleged to have occurred, and no criminal charges have been filed. A hearing was set for Jan. 28 to determine whether to make the injunction permanent.

Boston.com reported that Moss responded to the allegations to a group of reporters at Gillette Stadium.

"First of all, you all probably heard about these allegations. All I want to say is that they are false allegations," Moss said.

Moss said that he doesn't know exactly what has been alleged, but he said he and his attorneys were called and warned that the story would go public unless he gave the woman money.

"All I know is that it's a friend of mine, a young lady, it was an accident where she hurt herself, to where they called me, called my attorneys, trying to get X amount of dollars out of me, and if 'we don't get X amount of dollars' they were going to go to the press before this game," Moss said.

Moss denied harming the woman.

"That's really not my makeup," Moss said. "That's not me. I've never been in that situation where I've had to put my hands on any woman, any lady."

The Patriots are preparing to play the San Diego Chargers this weekend in the AFC Championship Game.

That's true. He'd rather hit a meter maid with his car.

Hit and drag her.

I guess going to Mexico for a little hook up was not such a bad idea.

Like I posted a while back, if Green Bay and NE are in the big game...

And we now conclude that he is lying.
Nice.

 

[93Devil]

The info on this woman and her relationship to Moss will be brought forward in the upcoming hours and days.

Sure, he might be innocent, but this will hurt the Patriots' preparation for the game.

 

[Oz]

Moss says the woman who got hurt was an accident, per SI.com.

Just like Spygate did...

Oh, please, with Cyborg as their head coach, nothing will faze that team.

 

[Fenian_Bastard]

Yes, the Patriots are notable for their vulnerability to off-field distractions.
Jesus, not everyone's the Cowboys.

 

[Armchair_QB]

The '72 Dolphins are behind this somehow.

 

[hockeybeat]

I agree with Wick and F_B. This isn't going to bother the Pats in the least.

exactly......this won't have any affect on the game.

I'll let the courts decide who's telling the truth, I'm crazy like that.

 

[Small Town Guy]

Sounds sort of similar to what happened to Irvin and Erik Williams before the 1997 Divisional game against Carolina, when that woman falsely accused them of rape. In that case I think it did affect the game because there was such an uproar over previous Cowboy misdeeds.

"That's really not my makeup," Moss said. "That's not me. I've never been in that situation where I've had to put my hands on any woman, any lady."

Not true. Moss has a domestic battery arrest on his record from a beef with his girlfriend back in college. In fairness, I think she was arrested too, but for him to say he's never put his hands on a woman in anger isn't quite accurate.

Preparing in January is a lot different than preparing in September.

It probably won't matter if the Chargers are a wounded ship headed into battle.

But this will matter leading up to (two weeks of dead air to fill, remember) the Super Bowl.

 

[goalmouth]

"Moss said that he doesn't know exactly what has been alleged" but denied them anyway! The he says he knew what they were.

What is this, Amos & Andy?

"Yo honor, de prostitution rests!"

Technically, an allegation is neither true nor false, it is merely something alleged to have taken place.

 

[Rumpleforeskin]

Every time I see Moss go across the middle, I hope he gets laid out. The Eagles did a good job of laying the lumber on him, so we'll see what Merriman and the Chargers can do.

 

[ColbertNation]

I don't know. I'm no Moss apologist, but this whole thing stinks to me.

Wrong. He says he's never HAD to put his hands on a woman. Not that he didn't choose to.

It probably doesn't matter because, at full-strength with a Green Lantern power ring, the Chargers are still two touchdowns worse than the Patriots.
