Blitzspit: Randy Moss Hates the Dallas Cowboys

Randy Moss Hates the Dallas Cowboys​

Hate is a strong word, but I believe Randy Moss has strong feelings against the Dallas Cowboys. There is a reason why he has his biggest games against them.​

Remember back in '98. He was one of the top prospects coming out, and by far the best receiver in the draft. He should have been a top 5 pick, but there were 19 teams that passed him up. One of those teams was the Cowboys. They had the 8th pick in that draft. They took Greg Ellis, who still plays for them, and will play Sunday against Moss's Patriots.​

Yet, at that time, the Cowboys had Aikman and they had Emmitt and they had Irvin. The Cowboys were one of those teams that was really fiddling with the option of taking Moss. They no longer had the solid 2nd receiver that Alvin Harper had been for them. The fans wanted Moss. Moss wanted the Cowboys.​

Moss stated after the draft that he was upset with the Cowboys. Out of those teams that talked with him, he said the Cowboys promised to take him if he was available, and he was available. They took Ellis instead though.​

If you look back, one of the big reasons the Cowboys didn't select him was because of his off field problems. At that time, the Cowboys were trying to clean their locker room of troubled players. Selecting Moss would have gone against that goal.​

It was done though. Moss was selected by the Vikings and his impact became immediate. We all know his story, but it was the Thanksgiving game, his rookie year, against Dallas, where Moss had the last laugh. He had only 3 catches, but all went for TDs. He finished with 163 yards receiving.​

Since then, he's had some of his best games against Dallas. His career stats vs the Cowboys are​

29 Catches, 675 Yards, 10 TDs.​

That's anger. That's I TOLD YOU SO. That's a slap in Greg Ellis's face.​

This is what he deals with though. He's always had adversity. He's always been doubted and he always comes back to prove those people wrong. 19 teams passed on him. Minnesota quit on him. Then he spent two crap years in Oakland where his game dropped significantly. Then he went to New England, but everyone doubted he would ever get back to his glory days. That feeds him though. Moss loves the doubters because he loves to prove them wrong. He still holds onto that draft day. It still fuels him. He knew with the 8th pick that he was going to be a Cowboy and when it didn't happen, the match was lit.​

Watch Out Dallas.​

Hell he should love us considering how many TD's he has scored. I figure the Cowboys helped put a few million in his pocket off those games.

I still remember that Thanksgiving Day game. What a bad memory.

Moss needs to get over it. I don't care what the Cowboys "promised" him. The Cowboys changed their minds and went a different route. Grow up, little Randy. This kind of thing happens all the time. What about the 20 other teams who passed on you?

Why would he want to drop it? hell if that is what motivates him when facing us it seems to be working.

 

[juck]

[Yeagermeister]

Then he should also be mad at the other 20 teams that passed on him.

 

[Doomsday101]

Chances are had Dallas not been going through all the off the field problems at that time Moss would have been a Cowboy. That is water under the bridge now.

That's a slap in Greg Ellis's face.

How so? Does Ellis cover him? Did Ellis not draft him?

I remember the local media (I live in WV as did Randy at the time) was reporting that a rep from the Cowboys was staying in a hotel in the Town Moss was living at.

He was so sure they were going to take him. I also think that if that story the local media reported was true they really thought they were going to take him.

Something must have changed on that last day or hours of the draft.

He was told they would take them, if reports were true there was a rep from the cowboys staying in town.

Would kind of tick you off if you were lead to believe you were going to be a cowboy and bang they passed on you.

Either way, that is water under the bridge now. However you can not dispute that his motivation against the cowboys has not worked for him when he has played against us in the past.

Everytime Randy Moss plays us, somebody brings This Tripe up. Randy loves having Big Games Against Dallas for the same reason everyone else does. Doing so will make you famous. I like Randy Moss, always have,Really wanted Jerry to get him. He's Great player but I swear with all of the OOOOOH Randy Moss makes the Patriots unbeatable bullshyt I have been reading, Man it's getting sickening. Don't sports writers have brains? Get some new material DAMN! I mean I seriously consider reading their drivel theivery.

Moss plays better against Dallas, Brady is God, Belichek is a Genius Yada yada yada can we please get an original story with an original angle? I got one for you. Ware and Ellis meet at the Qb and Ware gets the bigger piece of the wishbone?
Let's get it on!!!!!

we had Pete hunter at that time i think he killed him all game

Looks like Dallas was proven right for passing on him. He brings a lot of talent and productivity, but he also has issues. He is on his third team in his career. Dallas would have lost him after a few years and had nothing to show for it. Not so different on passing on him since they have nothing to show for that, either.

No, Hunter did not come along until 2002. The 1998 game had a bunch of no names in the secondary along with a less than 100% Kevin Smith who just came back from injury. Smith did not even last the whole game because he got injured again. Even as good as Moss was that game, the Vikings did use a flea flicker to start the game. I think any corner would struggle with that play right off the bat.

 

[Clove]

I was at that game.

I was there as well, and that game basically put a fork in Pups career. It was like a professional WR going up against a highschool corner.

I was ANGRY when we passed over Moss. I grew up with holy-rolling parents, but I was always of the belief that you give people the benifit of the doubt when they had problems in their lives. The guy smoked a little pot in highschool - wow, never heard that before.

He's basically spent his career making us pay for it, and this may be another day he does it, but this time, I think WP can keep Moss in check.
