I understand that I said some bold things in the post about Moss. I will get to that, but first things first. Chris's website has garnered enough attention that the Redskins have issued me a media pass to cover the games and practices for his site. If some of you don't like that I don't know what to tell you. The site is what it is and we have fun doing it.
Now, about the post. It was never my intentions to make another player look bad or raise any negative thoughts about the Patriot players. I was going into the locker room, which was open to all media, to interview Tom Brady. His availability was canceled after the injury. So, being that I was already in there, I decided to try and talk to other players. Randy Moss, after catching 2 td's and having a great game, immediately came to mind.
When he saw me he could have very easily said "sorry man, I'm not doing press right now." But instead, he rudely asked what I wanted then told me it didn't mean shit to him. That was the reason for my post. As I said in my post, I was a ZILCH in their locker room, but there was no need for him to act like that. I don't feel like he owed me an interview or that he should even give me the time of day. But I have seen professional locker rooms. They are generally filled with members of the media. He knows the difference between being an ass and brushing someone off.
In the future, for all you that call me out about not working and riding coat tails, I read it all. I am a college graduate and I work very hard at what I do. In less than a year I will be in medical school and you haters can celebrate when I'm gone from the site. Until then, if you don't like what we write, you don't have to bitch about it here. We openly accept criticism and suggestions. My email is

Thanks for reading if you did.
