Griese and Moss... What else can happen this week?

See... I know what you are thinking?

"I thought this Sinista clown only wrote about the Patriots? You mean he can go beyond the outskirts of Foxboro, and actually talk about something that doesn't have to do with his beloved P-Men?"

Yes I can, and this week it looks like I'll be looking into some funny stories last week involving Bronco's QB Brian Griese and Viking's WR Randy Moss. I'll start off with Griese's because it's hot off the press.

The Broncos (3-0) are undefeated, and Monday night they take on the Baltimore Ravens. Now it seems that Griese may not make it due to a serious ankle sprain. Rewind -- back in May, remember when Griese allegedly tripped in Terrell Davis' driveway and injured his face? Rumors swirled that Griese may have been intoxicated, but it was never brought to light. This time Griese claims to have been tripped up by the family dog from behind as he was going down the stairs. Actually... let's hear what Griese recently said about it on ESPN...

"I was walking down the stairs and my dog came barreling down the stairs after me and clipped me. I kind of twisted my ankle on the stairs. These things happen. Unfortunately, it happened to me."

Yeah, and I guess the dog had bet the under for this Monday night's game. When informed about the situation TE Shannon Sharpe had this response to it on ESPN...

"Are you jiving? I know you're all joking.... I don't believe I'd have told that one. I'm not a very good storyteller, but I think I could have come up with a better one than that. I've heard that, 'I stepped out of my car at work,' or, 'I went back for a pass and all of a sudden I stepped on someone's foot.' But a dog pushing me down the stairs? Oh, my goodness. I'm going to have to let (coach) Mike (Shanahan) handle that one... So the dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog or put him in the circus, one of the two."

After doing some internet searching, I was able to find a statement from the dog who had this to say through an interpreter.

"Ri ron't row rhat Rian's ralking rabout? Ri ras rever ron rhe rairs! Rit rounds rike ranine rofiling roo re."

Now it's off to Minnesota where I believe that WR Randy Moss is sharing medication with WR Terry Glenn. It's the same story, a WR with loads of talent, but feels that everyone owes him. You would have thought he learned his lesson when SEGA chose Brian Urlacher to promote the "NFL 2K" series this year. Now the Vikes have yet to win a game in a season that should have made them Moss' team, with Chris Carter gone. Moss should've been on pace to break some records this year, but he's decided to take the (Allen) Iverson route, and go thug. It all started when he had an altercation with a female traffic agent...

"Is traffic agent one of those fancy titles you get to make your job justify the money you're getting paid? It sounds almost like a glorified name for crossing guard."

So the argument get worse, and she decides that she's not going to let him pass. So I guess in a brief moment of insanity, Moss must have visualized her as Ty Law and decided to make his move for the end zone. He gave his Lexus some gas, and locked up with this guard within the five yard zone. The guard turned her back to him and placed one hard on his hood while calling for secondary help on her radio. The two tussled for about 50 yards until Moss made his move, and accelerated knocking her to the ground face first. He was arrested and charged with two misdemeanors. So I guess the incident wasn't as bad as it seemed, including the blunt in the ashtray.

Now, I still have to ask -- what the hell is with this guy? First he was kicked out of college for smoking marijuana, but that doesn't make him a bad guy. Things like drinking, smoking weed, and dropping ex are part of the college lifestyle. He was just too stupid to let himself get caught and it cost him several draft spots as teams passed him over. The Vikings knew what they had in Moss, so they drafted him and had him live with Carter.

Carter cracked the whip, taught him some discipline, and Moss was writing history in Minnesota. Somewhere along the way Moss decided he was bigger than the team, I don't know if it was his beef with Dennis Green, being shell shocked by the Giants last year, losing some of the spotlight to Daunte Culpepper or possibly the death of Korey Stringer.

Only Randy knows for sure what is wrong with him, but he has to get his issues straight if he doesn't want to end up on that "Isle for Misfit Receivers" with Glenn. I'd hate to see that because, hands down, these two guys are possible Hall of Famers, but their selfishness and me, me, me, rah, rah, rah can destroy a team if allowed to happen.

If Moss doesn't get suspended this week by the team or the NFL, he really needs to do some soul searching so he doesn't further embarrass himself and the team.
