Does Randy Moss need to tell you what the f*** you can do with an aluminum tube?

Randy Moss's press conferences are a source of great amusement to me. Take last night's episode following his record-breaking performance for example. The Randy Moss Experience began after a picture-perfect Tom Brady left the podium. There was an empty camera shot for a minute and silence, and then a voice off-camera. If you didn't know better, you'd think it belonged to one of the guys from King of the Hill. "Okay, okay, y'all know I ain't got all day."

Then, a shade-sportin' Moss stepped to the podium like something out of Dave Chappelle's "Black Bush" sketch (I'm thinking specifically of the appearance by Mos Def as Black Rumsfeld).

In answer to a question about how he felt breaking the record, Moss shot back, "the best thing about it is being able to shut all you people up. All my critics." Brady had been a Boy Scout in his presser as usual, but Moss wasn't afraid to let the people know what's up. And what's up is attitude, a pair of designer shades and a blue suit that would make Deion Sanders jealous.

If you want to read more about how the Patriots kick historic amounts of ass, here's my post on MVN. I know it's uncouth to mention that it got linked on Deadspin, but what can I say. I'm rollin' like Randy Moss today.

Much congratulations! I watched this game even though I am not a football fan by any stretch (I enjoy it, but have no rooting interest). Was worried for the Pats fans when they went down 12, but I'd seen highlights of them coming back before, so I wasn't too scared yet.

Interesting coincidence: Surviving Grady used a shot of the board game "Perfection" on their 16-0 celebratory post. I was staying at my sister's place and she has two kids and lots of board games. I was playing Perfection for much of the Pats game and finally got all the pieces in under a minute during the 4th quarter. Clearly I had a hand in this.

So I am waiting in desperate need of your 2007 Red Sox season summary/retrospective/thingy. I have sort of tried to re-live the season in many ways (watched highlights of every win all season long on mlb.com over a number of nights, for instance), but I've a feeling that as usual, you will have the upper hand on re-capturing the emotion of the long hard slog of the season, not to mention Manny's walk-off blast in the ALDS, Drew's redemption in the ALCS, and the great postseason series (the only one this year) that was Indians vs. Red Sox.

But I totally understand if it doesn't appear until after (hopefully) the Super Bowl.

hey devine, i def believe in those kinds of metaphysical contributions, so thanks for your perfection playing during the pats game!

i should know better than to make promises / due dates on something like the sox essay. in 2004 working feverishly on it every day it still took till mid january to post it all. i have DEF not been working on it the same way this time but i promise it exists and is sitting in draft form on my PC. i will get it out as soon as i can, and i haven't forgotten! sorry to keep you waiting. :-(
