I make that mistake all the time as well while typing ..... I think the only time someone points it out on a message board is when they are bored or losing an argument.

DBoys was just the collateral damage...

Jerry Jones just let a "money shot" go.
He will be all over Randy Moss... developing....
Ok... who is gonna be the first one to post "Jerry Jones would NEVER sign Randy Moss" - same poster that did it for TO :laugh2:

We are going to have a hard enough time getting the ball to TO more; please dear God do not allow Jerry to bring in another "I need the ball every snap" player.

In a dream world Moss and Owens would bond in a way neither has been able to do with a teammate before.
And they would be as worried about each other as much as themselves.
But there is no way in hell I see this happening ...... but it would sure get Jerry some publicity for his new Stadium. :laugh2:

No... I wouldnt want to see the board get all nasty and stuff...
Hey! In a Madden World it would be nice.... at best it could only work for about 1 year in the real world.
I have to say.... I would give anything to win another SB... even dealing with Moss and TO drama... a SB win is a SB win.. I dont care how we get it.
I am pretty sure I am the only one who feels that way

MOSS ON THE BUBBLE?
There's talk among some league insiders that the New England Patriots are considering whether to release receiver Randy Moss.
Seriously.
We scoffed when we heard it, but then a source explained that the question the Pats are believed to be pondering is whether Moss will become a problem if he is not a focal point of the offense -- or if he isn't in the opening-day starting lineup.
And we agree that this sounds crazy. Exactly as crazy as, say, any rumors that would have been making the rounds on Friday morning that the Jaguars were planning to part ways with Byron Leftwich.
Moss currently is listed as one of the starters at receiver, along with Donte' Stallworth. But Moss suffered a pulled hamstring several weeks ago and has seen only limited duty since then, opening the door for other wideouts to show what they can do.
If this rumor is true, the only logical explanation is that the Pats are wrestling with whether Moss is a luxury that they don't need in order to be successful -- and whether his presence could actually keep them from their goals if he is unhappy with his role.
As we see it, however, it would be easy enough to dump him if he turns out to be a problem. The only financial risk would be his $2.5 million base salary, which becomes guaranteed if he's on the roster when the regular season begins (if he is released and chooses to take the rest of the money as his one-time termination pay).
Then again, maybe coach Bill Belichick doesn't want to divert his attention from getting the team ready to play by monitoring whether a grown man is behaving like one.
The situation bears watching as Saturday unfolds. Even if Moss stays, there's sure to be plenty of upheaval at the receiver position as final cuts are made, given that ten receivers are still on the roster, including Moss, Stallworth, Wes Welker, Reche Caldwell, Jabar Gaffney, Kelley Washington, Bam Childress, Kelvin Kight, Chris Dunlap, and C.J. Jones. (Chad Jackson and Troy Brown are still on the PUP list.)
