No one in the Vikings' camp knows where the rumor started, but Mike
Tice is adament about Moss a Viking for life. There is no wish in
trading him and Tice has told the press this over and over again.
Now ESPN is reporting the Moss is not on any trading block. I think
a Minnesota reporter started it after Moss and Tice had a
misunderstanding over a press interview. Tice said some words about
trying to figure Moss out and that he had figured about 70% of the
mental Moss or something like that. It got back to Moss and he was
unhappy thinking Tice meant he was mentally disturbed. Tice called
Moss and explained his stupid remarks and it was all good between the
two. A few weeks later this pops up. So people believe that some
reporter made it up to see if there was a rift between Moss and the
Vikings and there isn't. Al Davis the other day said he called Tice
about acquiring Moss and Tice straightened him out. Moss is not on
the trading block, nor ever was.
