Randy MossRandy Moss, At one time the top of the most glorious career of Randy Moss, that any step lofted high enough in their direction, almost inevitably, come in both hands softer than leather Corinthian.
On Monday, it seems, no new contract was lofted high enough to consider returning Moss for a 14th season National Football League. Moss has decided to retire, his agent confirmed on Monday.

His career was meteoric star, the World Federation snatch the villain – the eclectic mix of talent attenuated once in a generation of replicate portions of temper of his audience (and sometimes onfield) person.

He was a line of possibly the best in the history of professional football offenses: Minnesota Vikings 1998 and 2007 New England Patriots – No. 2 and No. 1, respectively, in NFL history for points scored in a season.

Yet it was also the man who, as a Viking in 2005, left the field before a game against the Washington Redskins had ended. The receiver, which at times seemed indifferent to run their routes so that only lacked a good drink, a bag of chips and a Barcalounger.

What is indisputable is that when he was motivated, was a receiver for all purposes, cannot be covered.

He finished his career with 954 receptions, 14,858 yards and 153 touchdowns – good for eighth, fifth and second in the NFL all-time list.
