I've been writing forever that I wouldn't want Randy Moss on my football team.

And I know that Bill Belichick and Tom Brady are banking on themselves to turn Moss back into a Pro Bowl receiver and into a highly committed player for the first time in his life.

I'm not buying it.

Moss doesn't practice hard.  He doesn't play hard.  He dropped too many balls last year.  Moss has been injury prone over the last few years.  The receiver once walked off the field at the end of a Vikings game in week 17 against the Redskins before an on-sides kick.

The upside is Moss becomes a star again and the Patriots win the Super Bowl.  The downside is Moss wears out his welcome like he did in Minnesota and Oakland.  Color me skeptical.

Safety Brandon Meriweather had character issues as well.  But the former Miami star fits a major need in the defensive backfield.
