After yesterday's Patriots-Vikings game at Foxboro, you might have expected a resentful Randy Moss to emerge to the media. He'd just been fined $25,000 by the NFL for not talking to the press, he'd just lost to the team that gave him away weeks earlier, and his career's officially at a crossroads. But where some expected resentment, Moss was all class.
Scenes From Sunday: Randy’s Return, Donovan’s Demotion, And More
In his press conference, he said, “I miss them guys, man. I miss the team. ... You know, I just want to be able to tell the guys, I miss the hell out of them. Every last helmet in that locker room. Coach Belichick, he gave me the opportunity to be part of something special. That’s something I really take to heart.”
It was a touching display of gratitude. And if you want to go deeper, you might say this first photo epitomizes the mood of Randy’s return. There’s clearly still affection on both sides.
Or, if you want to be immature like me, you might say, “They’re totally about to make out!”
Totally, right?
More photos from Sunday after the jump.
Maybe the best Reebok ad ever. "You want to wear Nikes? Well, so did Kyle Orton..."
Because sometimes I forget that Chad Ochocinco legally changed his name so that he could put it on the back of his NFL jersey. I love sports.
As constipated as Donovan looks here after getting benched in the fourth quarter, he needs to look on the bright side. “Bemused constipation” face is still a much better look than “puking during a two-minute drill” or “forgetting the overtime rules.” Games could end worse.
For once, Vince carries Chris. Always nice to see someone return the favor.
What happened in the Steelers-Saints game? Lance Moore caught a touchdown that sealed it for New Orleans--Troy Polamalu nearly killed him in the endzone, but held on. And so did the Saints.
Just a great picture.
Another great picture, except Crabtree’s team is 2-6, so he has nothing to celebrate.
Same joke, but switch "Crabtree" for "Louis Delmas" and "2-6" for "the Detroit Lions."
CARDINALS FANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And finally, one more time...
Moss: Dang, coach. Ya breath smells like sawdust and dirty diapers.
Belichick: We had fetuses for the pre-game meal. You know The Patriot Way...
Moss: I miss that, mannn. Gotta be honest, dawg. I miss it.
Belichick: I knew you would.
Moss: I ain’t think I’d be this emotional.
Belichick: You mean absolutely nothing to me.
Moss: And that’s why I can’t stop lovin you, dawg!
Belichick: That’s The Patriot Way.
(Moss and Belichick kiss. With tongue, and lip biting, and Belichick spitting in Moss’ mouth)
