That was my thought for draft night and the month leading up to it. Just get past Jones. He’s got a head case in Irvin, so I didn’t think he’d have the stomach for another problem child. Just get past Dallas and we’re golden.

I vaguely remember Denny Green reflecting that he believed Moss would fall to them, and Randy was like "no way"...

I’m pretty convinced the old Met was built on top of an Indian burial ground.

I think we can thank Lawrence Phillips for Randy Moss.

Simple, outside of his rookie year where several defensive players vastly outperformed career norms the defense was always absolute trash during the Randy years. After his rookie year the MN scoring defense averaged 24th.
"If Randy Moss falls to 21, do you take him?" was my first ever post on any internet message board.
It was through a dial-up modum on my $3600 Mac 660AV with 8 megs of ram and 230 megs on the hard drive. I'm typing this on a Mac that cost a third of that, with 16 gigs of ram (16,000 megs) and 2 TB on the hard drive (2 million megs). Ah the good ol' days. Makes me wonder what another 26 years will be like...

My first post “is Jim Kleinsasser tipping the run plays?”. I noticed he tilted his pads in the direction of the play on runs.

I think this happens more than people realize.
