I gave him a little lowdown on Oakland, the city, the team, the players. We just talked about a lot of things.
If you're from Minnesota, you know why I'm here. Follow your story. They didn't sit down and explain it to me. I thought I'd finish my career there, but I guess it was just time for me to go. I guess they got tired of me, or whatever. I'm a Raider now.
The Patriots are a good team. They have Tom Brady and Deion Branch. It went to who wanted it more. Obviously, they wanted it more than we did.
I think we really got too far ahead of ourselves, ... We've just got to be reeled back in.
Just to see him come out here and work with us every day, have the patience with us every day, it's exciting.
I don't think Randy takes many plays off.
I thought I'd end my career in Minnesota, ... I built a house there. But life goes on. I'm not really down on myself or down on the Vikings for letting me go.
People always say that Randy Moss can't stick to the rules. Even my own rules.
I think I played in Lambeau maybe 14, 15 times. I've played there a lot of times. It's in the teens, double digit. I've had success on that field, won and lost.
And it hurts as a player, that you put a lot of hard work in during the week, and at the end of the week, Sunday, when you get on the field, that's when they acknowledge about the hard work that you put in throughout the week. That's actually a disappointment.
I'm a country boy who hasn't really been exposed to city living, and it throws me.
Ain't nothing but 10 grand. What's 10 grand to me?
I try to have fun with the fans, try to have fun.
I had to get some things right in my personal life. And once I got my family on the same page, to understand who I am and what I do for a living, I asked my oldest daughter, 'What do you think about Daddy coming back?' And she said, 'I didn't think you were done. I want you to win the Super Bowl.'
