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.
They had a nice scheme going. It was to be physical with me at the line, not let me get into my route. I was still getting into my routes, having a good time. I love playing the game of football, but we just didn't do enough to win.
The tough part of it is, Randy will never be a model citizen. But until this, he's been so good so far this year. It was a very immature thing to do. And he's got to understand that everybody's watching him. But it's wasn't a career-ender.
We just really didn't have it in us, ... I really don't know how we're going to react. Some teams go down in the hole, and some teams step up.
Um, I think his approach, being an offensive-minded coach, is something that I can accept, I like. I mean, he's the man, uh, and, you know, I'll leave that at that.
I think we really got too far ahead of ourselves, ... We've just got to be reeled back in.
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.
I don't think Randy takes many plays off.
Just to see him come out here and work with us every day, have the patience with us every day, it's exciting.
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'll beat you at 100, 200, 400, you name it,
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.
