Is Randy Moss Worth the Trouble? Titans Sure Think So

Filed under: Titans, NFL Analysis

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Inside the Cool Springs Galleria, the last remnants of the latest shipment of No. 84 jerseys were on display at the Titans Locker Room kiosk. One couple came out of the adjacent Victoria Secret and picked a hanger off the rack.

"Eighty-nine dollars?" a woman asked. "Not worth it."

Plenty of customers thought otherwise, with Randy Moss jerseys flying off the racks since he joined the hometown team. The Tennessee Titans last week were alone among the NFL's 32 franchises in putting a claim in for the gifted and mercurial wide receiver following his unceremonious release by the Minnesota Vikings after just three unproductive and combative weeks.

Their take: definitely worth it.

"I think he's going to be great," said Titans Locker Room area manager Dan O'Reilly, who was working the mall Tuesday morning. "I can't wait to see what happens on the field."

All of Nashville is in anticipation, with Moss' arrival rivaling the Cam Newton news for headlines and talk-radio rants in this Southeastern Conference hotbed. This might be the franchise's boldest move since the Houston Oilers uprooted from Texas for the Volunteer State.

So it was, two hours later and about 18 miles to the north, Moss came off the practice field at Baptist Sports Park and stepped behind the podium at a crowded news conference for his first public words since that rambling five-minute New England Patriots lovefest Oct. 31 -- and accompanying sideswipe at Vikings coach Brad Childress -- following a Vikings 28-18 loss that led to his release.
