I would say that he is worthy considering his body of work in his hey-day in Minnesota; his touchdown totals are breathtaking.
I know Dr. Z is an idiot but he brings up a interesting argument
What say you?

Forget HOF cakewalk for Moss; 'Boys, Vick and more
OK, Brendan, you've done it. You've touched my heart, with your mea culpa Philly apologia. "Don't cringe because of my hometown," writes Brendan Boyle of, you guessed it, Philadelphia. He says that no one will let him forget the stadium's more famous booings, including one that happened a few Christmases before he was born and for which he still has to answer, an event he says Peter King and I will never let go of, and so forth.
Well, you might have guessed by the inclusion of the last name that this gentleman is my E-mailer of the Week. And honestly, Brendan, I don't remember the last time I mentioned that incident, if at all, and the same holds true for Peter, and we don't fall into that high school hee haw of constantly referring to the city's nickname involving a certain type of affection, and here's another reason why you don't have to apologize to me for your city. Are you ready? I was BORN there. West Philly. One aunt lived on 62nd and Christian, another on 62nd and Carpenter.
Did I grow up there? Well, no. Actually, my parents lived in New York, but all my mother's relatives were in Philly, so she went down there to give birth to me, because they were willing to share the expenses. This was in the Depression. Hold your head up high. Philadelphia's a great city. All you have to do to reinforce that belief is visit some of the dreckholes around the U.S. that lay claim to the same honor.
Gary of Winnipeg says he once thought Randy Moss was a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame, but after the way he tanked in Oakland, he's not sure. But then again, he says, the selectors have odd ways of doing things. ("Odd, waddya mean, odd?" James Westerfield, playing Big Mac, the hiring boss, in On the Waterfront). I promise you this, Gary. As long as I'm a selector, the Canton Highway will be a very difficult road for Moss. I don't care how many great years he gives the Patriots. The guy's a dog, and there are too many people who spent years of sacrifice without getting a sniff from the Hall.
I left the Cowboys section out because it wasn't really anything worthy of posting. It is Dr. Z. after all.
