Randy Moss = no class

It will be interesting to see what, if any, effect this has in the future.

Will future players think "Well I have to talk to Tanner (or anyone else from Cooley's blog), because if I don't then tomorrow they'll be a blog post about what an ass I am."

That thought will probably happen to Redskins, but do you really think a receiver in NE would care? I don't think he would, but hey I could be wrong.

After all I have said, I still think the Pats and Moss could be dicks. I just wouldn't pass judgment after one interview. And for the record I don't like the Pats either, I was rooting for them to lose.

Poor Tanner Cooley got his feelings hurt. Randy Moss blew him off and wasn't so nice about. Big deal. I don't think we're talking about a Ryan Leaf moment or anything. Get over it and quit sounding like a baby Tanner. Media shouldn't be allowed in the locker rooms anyway.

Neither do I, if anything I have been cut and dry. Sure I said he was holding jocks and riding coattails, but again that is fact. As SC Skins said, Tanner went out of his way to say he is was Chris' brother to Moss. If Tanner is getting upset at what me, some random poster, says about his blog maybe he is in the wrong business. At least I didn't cuss him out and gave my opinions in a clear and respectful way(kinda like what he wanted from Moss).

I am surprised you, Matty, are not more reactive to Tanner's comments. He is basically telling you what you can and cannot post on your forum.

However you spin it those are dicky comments, and really not necessary.

I didn't take his comment as him telling us what we can or can't talk about, he's just saying if you have a problem with him feel free to take it up with him personally.

Tanner was as much of a part of the press as the rest of the press in the locker room. He has a press pass, so he has as much right to be there as anybody else who has a press pass.

I think Tanner just reacted like any of the rest of us would have reacted. I seriously doubt any of us would say, "wow, that Randy Moss is an intense guy, I'm going to honor his requests by not interviewing him. He's such a chip off the old block." It's easy for us to sit back and pick Tanner apart, because we were not in his position. And, Randy Moss could have easily said, "No thanks man, not doing any interviews." NFL players are role models, like it or not. I think they need to act like it. It's one thing to be all business, it's another thing to come off as a jerk.

It reminds me when I called Terrell Suggs a thug and people went out of their f'ing mind and bit my head off. I guess people on this site can be very moody. Oh well.

Why is Suggs a thug? He's never been in trouble with the law or anything. Just curious.

Good thing Matty is here to defend TC's honor, not sure what he would do without you.

Alot of you guys are getting soft, this is the real world and people generally only give a crap about themselves. Is Moss a jerk? Yes! Did TC need to cry about it on his blog? No! Is this a pretty common response for the media when dealing with a moody player? Probably! Was this thread pathetic about 20 posts ago? Definately yes!

I am very glad that the post has generated as much interest as it has. In my earlier comments in this thread I wasn't telling anyone what to say or where to say it. I was just inviting criticism to my personal email. If you have a problem or would like to see something different on thecooleyzone please let us know. It is purely there for your entertainment.

To answer the statements that I was saying I was Cooley's brother prior to asking for the interview, WTF else would I say? If I worked for the Washington Post, I would say "I'm TC from the Washington Post." I was just letting Moss know who I was and where the interview would go. Its how most interviews begin. I work for Chris and write for his site.

Also, I never said Moss owed me anything. He didn't. He just didn't need to act the way he did and I stated the facts of what happened because I thought it was blog worthy. Do I expect everyone I try to interview to be open with me? No. Do I expect everyone to be nice? No. But Moss turned this into a topic by saying what he said. Had he said "No comment" or even "No interviews tonight man" that would have been the end of it.

Moss has always struck me as a less vocal T.O. He is just as selfish and thinks the world revolves around him. I have never been impressed by Moss.

All of you guys bashing Randy Moss crack me up. He's been nothing but a leader on NE's team. If we make the trade to Oakland and he's wearing burgundy and gold, catches 20+ TD's in one season, takes JC's game to the next level, all of you would be sniffing his jock. Amazing.
