Randy Moss is playing like he should have been his entire career. Tough times in Minnesota and Oakland and now New England seems like home for him. Same goes for Terrell Owens. After an overinflated ego in San Fran and nothing but trouble in Philly, Dallas seems to be a great fit for him. Doesn't the same hold true for a lot of players that go the same route?

Moss and TO ended up were they are because of attitude reasons. Moss was excellent in Minnesota, but couldn't get along with Culpepper, so he got sent packing. Almost the same for TO. He got pretty good in San Fran, then had a rift with Jeff Garcia, and the team sided with the QB, rather than the spoiled WR. Neither was a money issue.
Moss went to Oakland, and couldn't handle being on a team that couldn't win, so he quit trying. TO went to Philly, and couldn't handle not being the star of the show, so he acted out with outrageous behaviors so the media would focus on him.
Now, TO is the big star in the Lone Star, though Romo has been getting an increasing amount of media attention, so who knows how long until TO has to put on the circus act again. Moss is happy again because he is on a great team, and has the best chance of his career to win a Super Bowl. He has actually been working harder than ever before to run great routes and become a more complete player, rather than just relying on great talent.

Well Owens would have been fine in Philly if they would have given him credit for what he accomplished and if McNabb wouldn't have thought he could play hurt when he couldn't. Owens got in trouble for calling out the team and basically saying McNabb couldn't play, and he couldn't. As to Moss, I'm not sold but I think being in Oakland may have been what he needed. It was someone who was going to be tough on him. It was someone who wasn't going to let him play games like he did with the Vikings. I think it humbled him some.

I think Doug Flutie may fall into that category before his magical season...I think players who have re-invented themselves with multiple teams really develop some maturity--and players like Moss and Owens figured out what they needed to be successful.
I hope Brian Griese gets the same third-chance charm as well--if Chicago would ever bench Grossman!

Moss did pretty well in Minnesota and Owens did OK in San Fransisco. Like many good players, they were traded for monetary reasons.

the nfl schedlue is desperate properly in develop however the final television settlement left room for "versatile" scheduling. meaning some video games later interior the season could be switched around. i don't think of the nfl networks game are aside of the versatile scheduling ingredient. in common terms the great boys, fox, cbs, and espn. inother words, in the event that they like to bypass a game with playoff value to a greater useful time slot for greater visitors, they could. obvioulsy, the extreme profile communities get the main visibility. it helps rankings. i mean, who desires to work out the dolphins and the 9ers bypass at it in best time, appropriate? appropriate.

WRs are famous for their fragile egos......but let them look pretty, and they are happy. T.O. was not a big enough attraction in Philly, and Moss got stuck on the crap team, so the sulked....not that Moss ever had anything worthwhile thrown his way in Oakland.....but yeah, they are happy now.

No, what TO and Randy Moss have realized is that they aren't getting any younger and both still don't have rings. What they have done is sacrificed their own ambitions for that ring and it is paying off for their teams.
