Welcome to Boston, Randy Moss
Hi Randy,
I'm 94.3 percent sure you aren't going to read this, but I thought I'd welcome you to my new home town anyway. I moved here about two years ago and I wanted to tell you it's great. The people here are wonderful and they LOVE their sports. Especially the ladies. I mean, I've never seen a town with so many informed about their favorite teams.
Anyway, there are also a lot of things that can drive high-priced athletes nuts in this town. But good news for you here, you've already taken a pay cut! Well played.
I've been telling my wife (and anyone else who might listen) that I think you're the next Corey Dillon. A talented guy who came from a flawed organization who is willing to do whatever it takes to win a championship. I'm already in the tank for you, after I read the SI feature on you a couple years ago. I've always felt like you might have suffered more at the hands of Terrell Owens than even Jeff Garcia or Donovan McNabb.
Why? Because people seem to enjoy linking you two together as tightly as Zan and Jana were on the SuperFriends. It's not fair. I know you've had your moments, but I think it's only fair to give you a chance to show you're committed now in your new town. And if you read this column make sure you check out this blog before you get too worked up.
It's looking like it's going to be a long summer waiting for football season to start around here. O.K. that might be just me as the rest of this town is pretty much certifiable for the Sox, but I'm looking forward to seeing the Patriots with the new additions of you and your new teammate Adalius Thomas. ... Damn Google is good -- I just totally botched the spelling of his name and that little search engine that could knew what I was looking for.
Hopefully for you Randy, after some misteps, this new season spells out success for you and you get what you've been looking for.
Chad
