Staying with my Moss prediction

On my first post ever for this blog, back when it was titled Don't Worry About It, back when the Giants had just defeated the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII, back on February 8, 2008, I wrote that I didn't think Randy Moss would ever win a Super Bowl. At that time, I only based it off Moss coming so close with the Pats and coming up short, but now, two seasons later, I'm standing firm on my belief.

With Moss now back on the Vikings, I still don't see him winning a Super Bowl. The Vikings, at 1-2 and facing the Jets in a Monday Night matchup, may not even make the playoffs this year. Moss certainly boosts their chances, but nothing is a lock. With Adrian Peterson, Brett Favre, and now Moss, some have referred to the Vikings as the Miami Heat of the NFL. I'm really getting sick of that analogy.

Either way, since my "Moss won't win a Super Bowl" prediction is still intact, I'm gonna stick with it. It's almost three years old. It will be fun to watch him and Favre, a solid threat, but win a Super Bowl? I'm just not seeing it. I really don't have much to support why I'm sticking with this prediction, I just am.

Bill Simmons wrote in a column about how he loved the Moss trade that Moss could be another Ewing theory, a great player who never wins big. I don't think it's about his attitude, something I don't see as a problem. His work ethic, now that's a different story. But Moss is one of the most talented receivers to play the game. He's unbelievable. A specimen to watch, even at 33.

Favre and Moss though, that's a lethal combination, so maybe I'll be proven wrong. To be totally honest, I wouldn't mind being wrong if Moss and Favre won the Super Bowl this year. It's probably their first, last and only chance together. But then again, Favre may never actually retire.

In light of bringing up old blog posts, I wrote about Favre's first retirement -- in March of 2008.
