Gather No Moss…..Again!

I will apologize in advance for beating this subject to death, but I just couldn’t resist the temptation to point out that an employee’s character is far more important than his/her talent.

Four weeks ago I blogged about Randy Moss and the fact that the coach of the Patriots, Bill Belichick, elected to trade the future Hall-of-Famer in mid-season to the Minnesota Vikings. Many football fans thought that Brad Childress, the coach of the Vikings, had put one over on Bill until Childress unceremoniously dumped Moss by placing him on waivers after only three games as a Viking. Unfazed and unapologetic, Moss watched as twenty-one teams declined to sign him until the Tennessee Titans finally claimed him off the waiver wire. The Titan’s coach, Jeff Fisher, gushed about his good fortune. He then made a prophetic observation, calling Moss “a tremendous threat wherever he has been.”
