Did Moss really force his way out?

Because everyone has beaten this subject of Randy Moss’s (not so) sudden departure to Minnesota into the ground since it happened a few days ago, I’ll only give one thought on the whole situation.

First off, after the deal went down, news came to light that Moss was becoming a real problem in the locker room. Apparently, he had a heated confrontation with offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien during halftime of Monday night’s win in Miami. Then on the plane ride home when head coach Bill Belichick tried to confront Moss on the confrontation, he received the cold shoulder.

Look, if this is all true, then Moss had to go, and fast. The best way to defeat cancer is with early detection. Belichick got rid of that cancer that was Moss before he ended up killing a young Patriots locker room.

But I’m not sure what to believe here. For the past three years, all we heard about was how great of a teammate Moss was with the Pats, even from sources like Belichick. Now all of a sudden, he’s blowing up at halftime and is a locker room cancer? Sounds like a smear campaign by the Boston media to me.

All I’m saying is take what you’ve heard about Moss’s final days in New England with a grain of salt.
