Peter King of Sports Ilustrated whips up some high expectations regarding the Vikings potential--or at least the potential for Randy Moss to have a huge year. There's also an accounting of some of the more assinine antics from Moss last year. For example
"Last year, after the Vikings handed Moss the richest contract for a receiver in NFL history, Moss said he played only when he wanted to play, and no one could make him play when he didn't feel like it. Against Tennessee in December, he either jogged or walked off the line of scrimmage on 21 plays. That's 39 percent of the game the guy didn't try. A disgrace--to the game, to his team, to himself."
According to this article, it appears Tice is confronting this situation head on--using both a carrot and stick approach. But when Moss decides to act out this year, I'm dubious as to the abilty of a first year, unproven head coach to maintain credibility--especially when Moss is in self proclaimed "street person" mode.
