Fired!

After only three weeks, the Minnesota Vikings have placed wide receiver Randy Moss on waivers. Moss is an all-star receiver the Vikings recently traded for in a deal with the New England Patriots. By being placed on waivers, Moss is now available for other teams to scoop up. He has approximately $3.5 million left on his contract, that the Vikings will be liable for should no other team sign Moss.

So to clarify, the Vikings just gave up arguably their best receiver after already relinquishing a draft pick to the Patriots to acquire him, and now may also still have to pay him $3.5 million! This is like giving up your Saturday to drive to the outlets and then deciding after walking through one store that you do not want to shop and you drive home. You give up your Saturday and still come home with no good finds.

Sounds like a completely ridiculous decision. The backstory here, is that Moss is lazy on the field and likes to speak out against his team to the press. In last week's game, Moss arguably gave up a touchdown pass and then complained to the media about the Vikings' game strategy. This is no shocker for the Vikings since Moss has a history of being a spoiled brat, but just unfortunate for Vikings fans who are stuck with the consequences of poor management.
