Around the NFL - 2011

I think I forgot this pro-Randy Moss story from my note about Moss and Patriots owner Robert Kraft a couple of weeks ago. Moss has been a consistent supporter of former Patriot teammate Heath Evans' charity work, and he was at a golf tournament in Florida for the charity when he came upon a pregnant woman working a beverage cart on the course.

According to Evans, Moss said to the woman she looked too far along to be working a golf tournament; the woman said she was on the verge of giving birth, but she needed the money, so she had to work. Moss reached into his pocket, according to Evans, pulled out a wad of cash, handed her the entire amount and told her, "Go home. Please.'' And she did.

I tell the story not to say Moss is Mr. Wonderful; Lord knows he's had enough problems with the press and public in his career. It's just that those who know him are convinced there are enough stories about the good side of Moss that have never been told.

Straight cash, homey.

What a cool story.

That's pretty strong...

the Raiders took Pryor in the 3rd round

Naturally...

[Feva]

By the way... the Raiders don't have a 2nd, 3rd or 4th round pick next year.

Just win baby...

[General_Failure]

Drafted by the Raiders? Great, that means no one will ever have to mention him again..

[DH]

My quote to a buddy this morning went as follows - "Not only will the Raiders be dumb enough to draft Pryor, but they'll be dumb enough to take him in the 4th."

Their idiocy has no bounds.

I like the 30 second mark

Taylor Mays traded to the Bengals for an undisclosed draft pick

[BigEd76]

Joe Thomas gets a 7/$84M ($44M guaranteed) extension

[Rome]

If Thomas is worth 84 million, what's Jason Peters worth?

Amirite?

From the people who brought you the Baseball Fan Flow Chart....

Just heard McShay on Cowherd's show absolutely killing Oakland for the Prior pick. Said his best hope is to develop into a #3 WR in 2-3 years and that he has zero chance to be a franchise QB.

[hbionic]

Wasn't this guy a good QB in college and high school, is what I heard last night and that he was a higher rated QB in high school than Aaron Rodgers was.

I don't know shtein about either...but the opinion was that they are shteinting on him even more because of his off field issues, and the fact that he was drafted by Oakland, and not necessarily because of his talent.

That said, I didn't see him much to comment. Just passing what I heard along.

Larry Johnson signed with Miami.
