To hear Randy Moss tell it, this week’s trade that moved him from New England to Minnesota didn’t just bring him back to the place where he started his NFL career.
“I’m very fortunate to be back home where it all started,” said Moss, who referred to Minnesota as home seven times Thursday. Wearing that familiar purple No. 84, Moss practiced with the Vikings a day after he was acquired.
“To all the Vikings fans that are coming to the Metrodome, pull your 84 jerseys out, man,” Moss said. “I think this is going to be a fun ride.”
Brett Favre welcomed the addition.
“We’re just going to throw it up and there’s 11 guys on him and you just throw it up to him,” Favre said with a giddy smile before catching himself. “There may be times when that’s the case. I was just joking. Ten guys, maybe.”
