Or will he go into pro wrestling?

Peace out, Randy. You were always entertaining.

I’m going to miss him.

As a 9 year old in 1998, his rookie season is the first I can remember as a Viking. I wish he could have played longer for us, but I’m grateful for the time that he did spend here.

If Chris Carter can’t get in the Hall of Fame, how the hell is Randy Moss going to?

i think this is a p.r. stunt to get his name in the mix and peak some interest.

…but either way, much love to Moss. despite all the drama over two stints with the team, he has his place in Viking lore and the good times ultimately outweigh the bad — in my mind, anyway.

Should’ve retired him, I hate Childress for throwing Randy out. I hope “chilly” never gets another job in the NFL.

So sad.

and one that made me a fan of the Vikings,one of my all time favorites.

And then join them for a run at a Super Bowl.

Will probably end up helping him as well, as he’ll have fresh legs for the second half of the season.

I like the fact that I can now wear my Moss jersey out of nostalgia. Unless until he unretires. It’s still the only player’s jersey I’ve ever purchased. (That will change soon, when I buy a #4 Kluwe jersey later this season.)

Just when you thought it was safe to return to the water…

Now Randy has decided to take over Brett’s gig.

No originality…

Moss Watch 2011 is underway…

Been following Randy his entire career will miss him now that he’s gone.

And yes having Berrian on our team and Moss retired is like a piece of glass in my eye. If only you were a bit easier to get along with Randy.

I’ll admit it as I’ve admitted it before- my joyous-ish existence as a Vikings fan started with me essentially being a bandwagon jumper because of Moss in ’98. So I do owe him a lot- hence my tendancy to post non-Viking related stories regarding the SuperFreak (damn you Eric for beating me to this one!).

As the title said, he was both the villian and the savior. I really had it out for him after he ended his first stint with us- he had acted like such a jerk, I was determined to turn my Moss jersey into a carwash rag (never could follow through, tho… those things are expensive!!!). And then when he came back last season- man was I stoked. Go figure, in about one month he relived his entire first stint with us- he started out as the hope of the franchise and ended it by being a total a-hole that we couldn’t stand.

I am glad he retired tho. Bittersweet, yes. But he showed last season he was essentially done. Did TO put up some awesome numbers in Cinncy? Sure. But will anyone really remember that, thanks to the franchise’s record that season? Not really. At best, Randy would have had just such an experience- a final season where he showed he could still play, but likely for some organization that was going to do absolutely zilch regardless, and he wouldn’t be remembered for it.

He’s a true enigma. I will remember him in two ways as a player: one, as a WR with such skill that he became the hero of two franchises, and the man largely responsible for two historical seasons- ’98 with the Vikings, and ’07 with the Pats. Then two, I will always remember him as the player who SHOULD have left Jerry Rice in his wake and owned every receiving record with such dominance that it would be unlikely to be touched for well over a generation… but too lazy and self-centered to ever fully realize that potential.

Ah hubris… you have taken down many a great man. Farwell Randy. Have fun with NASCAR!

I would have loved to see him here this year as a Viking. Off the field issues were his downfall. He is arguably the best WR ever on the field.
