Constant Sorrow

Now I will start by saying I am not depressed or angered or anything like that . . . . although I do have an agenda tonight. Today the WORST news possible came out of the NFL. My favorite receiver in the league, and coincidently the best receiver in the entire league will be traded to my most hated of team owners & and second most hated team behind the New York Giants. My dad can't understand why I'm so upset about the trade; I mean Minnesota does get a linebacker by the name of Napoleon Harris, the 7th overall pick, and a late round draft pick. I mean that totally adds up to a phenomenal wide-out. Please don't get me wrong I bet Napoleon Harris is a decent player but he is not the best at his position in the league. Currently the only hope to keep Randy here is for the sale of the team to go through and Reggie to cancel it. I mean he paid (or is paying) for the Vikings with Moss. not a GREAT team without an awesome receiver. If I were him I'd object saying that he purchased Randy along with the Franchise name, debts, and players. I like to compare it to this simple analogy: I sell you a car. It's in good condition; just needing a little body work and a few minor dents and dings. Well you purchase the vehicle and we're just waiting on the bank to say that the check is good (The NFL owners are the bank here). While we are awaiting the transaction, someone you don't like comes along and says "I will trade you a few decent sprockets, a can of paint and a plunger for that beast of a transmission you got in the thing." So I trade for the junk. Meanwhile you're left with a few scrap parts, and no transmission for the drive and torque to drive the car. Well you could convert the few sprockets into a transmission but what are the odds that you could build the transmission out of them? Slim to none. This, in my opinion, is what Red McCombs is doing to the Vikings. He's leaving them without a rarely problematic transmission and giving them a few sprockets. While he's raping the Vikings of talent, I believe we had a pro-bowl quarterback, a stellar center, a very good defensive tackle, and an equally good cornerback. So Red, finish your rape. It's not enough you stand to make a $400 million profit from the sale but you have to do this? Not cool man. It is a well known fact that you didn't get your stadium-which I believe you would have charged Fowler for too. You were pissed off also that the NFL wouldn't let you move the team to San Antonio. Another reason for your bitterness is probably also that Minnesota fans hated you. Boohoo McCombs- you had to take the cowardly way out by leaving your former franchise crippled. Grow up!
That is what is on my mind for tonight. I ask that if you have any comments on this topic post a comment. Or also call them:
