How Randy Moss fell short of a Super Bowl despite being one of the greatest of all time 

Dominique Wilkins

Tony Gwynn

Sammy Sosa

Mark McGwire

Warren moon

Sicksi 💀

Not his fault

Patriots lost the super bowl because belichick wanted to go for it on fourth down. Could of taken the field goal. I think there might of been another failed 4th down in field goal range to. Not sure

Sicksi Brady threw a 70 yard pass with 10 seconds left. It would’ve been difficult with two defenders on him, but if Moss wants to be the best ever, he has to use skills to grab it & take it in the end zone to complete the 19-0 season

Sicksi two best teams of all time

Michael Biscay same with Calvin Johnson...hate to see it, but I’d love to see their explanation rather than just saying “he played for the Lions”

Michael Biscay ever team he played for was ass

Michael Biscay I know who you are Michael Seibert. Why did you change your last name?

😭😭

Lmao

Joe Buck was the only one offended

The irony is, it's said Packers fans would lineup leading into Lambeau and flash & moon the opposing team buses on a gameday.

White people

Because it's Joe Buck

Yeah, why would a grown man, while he's working at his job on national television, mimicking showing his bare butt to the thousands of families watching be a big deal?

Should've seen him in 98. League had never seen a talent like that. Calvin Johnson was the closest later, he was a bit more physical but he didn't have the speed and smoothness of Moss. Moss would sometimes be used as a decoy and just run straight upfield and you'd have 3 guys collapsing in his direction. No player has ever stretched a defense like Moss. A single WR who breaks the defense before the snap and wasn't even an option on the play.

@@logicaldude3611 Larry Fitzgerald was the best WR of his generation let's debate. Im also mad andre Johnson doesn't get his respect

@@dscgodflow6663 I love Larry Fitzgerald but he’s not on the same tier as guys like Moss Rice and TO

​@@dscgodflow6663hell no

@@jakebuchsbaum3348might be cuz I’m a cards fan but I’m taking fitz over TO. Dude had magnets for hands he rarely ever dropped a target

Well said bro. I would LOVE to see it but it would hurt me because of his career history. Even the season when they went to the Finals, he couldn't overcome them with that team he had. Management never got him some real help and when they did, it was too late into his career smh

Did you see the Allen Iverson documentary they did on (I think) netflix

Tyler Y yeah I loved it! Being from Philly there isn’t anything about AI I haven’t seen lol.

Jazz Young DJ Jaznificent I remember being in philly during the finals crazy

@Harry Engel All I Gotta Say Is "RU-vid" Him Second Greatest Shooting Guard Of All Time

So do you Moss or Randy someone to break coverage. Never heard that crap

@@Bobsloth13 The term "Mossed" was mentioned in the video...

J Shankle you get Mossed when a ball is caught over you (the defender) despite good coverage

ooooo, J Shankle just got Memeoed!

@@Bobsloth13 Bruh than you never watched him play, the announcers would say all the time, you just got mossed! Clown.

Justin McCormick Nah, it’s “straight cash homie”.

"Jordanesque" is up there, probably the best.

That’s an odd way of spelling Philip Rivers

I was about to write that. 😂😂👍

Wait for Philip rivers to finish up, do a giant video on both together

Rivers' story is being 0-9 vs N.E.

Jim Kelly too

You ain’t lying

Considering his luck, the broncos would've roared back with a comeback, some penalty wouldn't be called, and the Seahawks cut him and win against the pats in '14

Jay M I feel like he is footballs kobe

Leo Pursiainen that’s probably the best way to explain it

Leo Pursiainen spot on as far receivers it’s like... Jerry Rice=MJ Randy Moss= Kobe

"Getting Moss'd on" is still a phrase used to this day

"You, with the ball. Moss me! Moss me!" Yep. Can confirm his name was not just a verb, it was multiple verbs.

@Harry Engel relax we didnt grow up in those olden days we 2000s babies bruh💯

I'm guessing everyone wanted a Broncos-Vikings Super Bowl. I know I did after my 49ers went down in Atlanta in the divisional game.

The weird thing is the Vikings never threw to him in the second half of that game. And in the two Super Bowl loses with the Patriots they never once attempted to throw deep to Moss. It seems like his own teams decided to ICE him out for some unknown reason?

Harry Engel Better... except that Kansas City matriculated the ball down the field regularly in Super Bowl IV (born in 1983, but I remember watching the NFL Films highlights of that game on ESPN)

I honestly thought the Vikings would finally win their first Super Bowl in 1998 one season after the Broncos won their first one. Both teams had lost their four previous Super Bowls and I thought that if Denver can do it then so can Minnesota. But it just wasn't meant to be.

John Majors yes look up the video

Where did ya think it came from?

@@roboninja3194 I honestly didn't know. I've heard that drop all over sports radio. Jay Mohr. Jim Rome. Dan LeBetard. Just a funny drop, lol.

How old are you, ten?

Sweet his teams were a combined 31-1 in those season and were statistically the best offense of all time in each season as well

@@dontatme1290 Who cares... no rings, unfortunate for him

When Gary came on, it was game over. That stat jinxed it cause up to that point GA was automatic. Snakebit is correct. Two ultra crazy plays. WOW!

@@H41030v3rki110ny0u Those reason he's HOF WR duh rings are so overrated and I'm patriots fan saying this

@@SaltoDaKid Rings are not overrated, they are a part of the formula, though. The fact is, is he was never a champion.

Agreed

Football is different then the nba 1 ring equals about 2 nba ones so I guess just making it to the Super Bowl I would say it’s like winning 1 NBA Champions 😂

@@majintar9876 it would still be pretty sweet to see Larry Fitzgerald win a Super Bowl.

Nick Kapa Megatron too

Same with Julio

Yeah if by clutch you mean severely beat but got bailed out by severe under throw?? More like a lucky defensive play.

@@jonathanguitreau629 having never seen this play before, you're absolutely right

@@jonathanguitreau629 Brady threw the ball close to 75 yards i, he couldn't have thrown it any farther than that. Moss should have come back for the ball.

One man can't make a whole team win a championship. You can be one of the greatest ever and play on a team that will never win a championship.

Their is more to it than just luck. The Patriots aren't just lucky. But yea, one great talent, especially at WR, isnt enough to win a SB on its own.

Elijah Raikes well, there is one man. Bill belicheck

True cause AP didn't win with the vikings either and we had a better defense most of the time he was here than that 98 team I think but a big part of that in my opinion is the coaching especially childress in 2009 which I think was our best chance with AP so if he doesn't win a ring he should still make the HOF as soon as he's eligible

@@bubbagump_shrimp Two men. Tom Brady and Belichick. Two greatest ever at their roles combined results in six championships and nine appearances. Simply unheard of.

Bring it on!

I think they'll do a Collapse episode on the 90s Bills.

@@March_for_Aries The last time they won 10 games in a season was 1999.... there would be so much pure heartbreak and disappointment... about 21 years worth to be exact.

@@mg19cal Who cares about a ESPN documentary?

Why is this comment so infamous?

Jay M bc joe buck is terrible and that celebration was hilarious

@@jaym8988 During a divisional game against the Packers, Randy Moss celebrated a TD by pretending to moon the Green Bay crowd. Joe Buck thought he actually pulled down his pants and mooned them and said it was a "disgusting act by Randy Moss" when it was fairly harmless. It's used nowadays when a player does something playfully disrespectful.

That was a very funny act by Randy Moss. Childish, but hilarious! #JoeBuckSucks

Thanks

Because the Mariners and their need to keep punching us in the balls

@Harry Engel you also were playing a yankees team who were playing for shellshocked new york city after 9/11 in 2001. That yankee team was going to stop at nothing to win the world series and it took a walkoff base hit in game 7 to stop them.

It is a great example of how a media narrative can warp what people think of high profile people, and just how hard it is to say the *right* thing even when you've said the right thing.

except that when Randy didn't want to play, he didn't play

That's true, and Moss was taken out of context for much of his career to force that "lazy" narrative by actually lazy sportswriters. But it doesn't matter what his intent was - in the video, they're using it to illustrate how he was seen. Also, Moss did do the things people criticized him for - leaving a game early, walking off the line if he wasn't the target, etc. He's probably the greatest WR of all time, but he was inarguably inconsistent.

True, but anyone who watched him play could see he meant it the way it comes off in this video. He at least behaved that way.

@@nin_tendo6458 then you haven't watched him play. None of Moss teammates bashed him and said he took plays off. Watch every wr in the NFL, if it's a run play on the opposite side of the field they half block the db or they run the db up field when he's playing man coverage. Moss ran more deep routes then anyone else on the team per game. He used up more energy then any other wr so he was asked to go 75% on some plays. That was stated by Chris Carter. Now if you want to bring up his Oakland Raider days then I suggest you watch the entire team. They all took plays off and put little effort in. Brady and Culpepper praised Moss for his efforts. So did Kapernick.

07 to 2012 had are best teams even tho we didn't win a ring then kinda funny that way

@@williamlobig the offense was peaking, Brady in special was peaking, the secondary sucked

Long stretch of time, many lost opportunities, especially 2010-2011!

William Lobig no it didn’t the best Brady-era patriots team is 2007 followed closely by 2004, and then 2014 and 2003. The 2010 team is probably their 5th best team, and the 2011 team that made the Super Bowl is not even top 10. The 2009 and 2012 teams are bottom 5 teams of the Brady era, with the 2009 team being the absolute worst. The 2009 Patriots almost made Belichick up and leave, that’s how frustrated he was. He admitted to Tom midway through the season “I just can’t get these guys to play the way I need them to play”. The 2002 team that missed the playoffs was better than the 09 team, hell the 01 team that had no business being in the super bowl was still a more cohesive unit than the 09 disaster

@@TheLocalLt do you have a source for the 09 team making Bill want to quit?

Awesam 114 intellectuals know he is top 5 ever

Bartolo Colon? Gtfohhhh😭

Ichiro is my favorite athlete ever, and I'd love to see more about him, but I think an Untitled video would be more or less exactly the same thing as the Mariners collapse video.

I wouldnt say that unless you dont want to go to the playoffs. We are currently 8-4 with a 6 seed and our 3 remaining home games against divisional opponents with a shot at a division title the day before christmas. This is classic vikings being vikings material.

9-4! Not this year, brother. We are gonna go all the way, and finally win our first super bowl!! #SKOL

Get Mossed lol, I don’t see it happening this year or any time soon. We’ve had many better teams than this.

Cathy Kelley's Boyfriend I’m so sorry...

As it pains me to say being a Vikings fan, we are... my father as a young teen watched them loose all 4 super bowls..

Being a Vikings fan is an exercise in futility. I couldn't root for this team anymore, I was driving myself insane getting my hopes up.

The Bills lost four straight Super Bowls as well... but hey, both teams are playing really well this season so something crazy might happen come playoff time!

You’re lucky you guys aren’t lions fans... never won a “super bowl”. Only some championships. We haven’t even made it to the playoffs second round since 1991

@Harry Engel Um 108 years of losing says otherwise. But i am sure your positive thinking was what ended all that losing 😂

Honestly being in the Hall of Fame is better because you were recognized without your teams accomplishments. Randy Moss was so great he astonished everyone and is put on Jerry Rice' level easily and he never won a SB.

4 reasons why with that one. 1. Shaq and Kobe in ‘01 2. Larry Brown leaving the Sixers to join the Pistons 3. The short lived duo of Iverson and Melo that couldn’t seem to live up to the expectations. 4. Joining a declining Pistons team that should’ve never fired Flip Saunders after ‘08

Harry Engel Please tell me your just kidding?

@Harry Engel there is a website called Google........

49ers?

@@Bobsloth13 Yea Kaepernick choked.... Shoulda started Alex Smith....

@@Bobsloth13 Yeah. Moss was on that 49ers team with Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick that went to the super bowl.

There are a lot of great receivers that “need a ring”.

K N A C K he could of won one vs falcons in his rookie year but there kicker missed the fr and the falcons scored there fg to win the game and could of won vs the patriots

Then tries to be relevant in WWE only to lose the crowd really quickly.

Yes yes yes, a billion times yes!

Ah yes, losing and then disappearing for a while to just go to WWE eventually to always win there and leave the company after she loses her title stating that she just wants to start a family.... to end up not really making progress and the person she loses her title too even gets pregnant before she does.

@@claytonbinner the WWE thing wasn't really her fault. The writing sucks and wrestling fans suck. If you don't give them what they want, they boo. If you give them what lol they want,, they like of for a few weeks and then boo and move on to the next thing.

limegreensharpays Probably because Randy made that garbage ass QB look good?

Cardinals had it worse.

@@SaltoDaKid Yeah, lucky. When Amendola catches a tipped-off ball around several Falcons it's a great play, but when Tyree holds the pass between his hand and his helmet, it's luck... Go cry somewhere else. And I'm not even a Giants fan.

It hink the video give plenty of other opportunities that were wasted, including Moss.

Also David Tyree who “Mossed” him out of a Super Bowl.

Gary anderson kicked us out of possibly one of the best super bowls ever with Minnesota vs Denver

Brian Miller I will always blame the play calling at the end of the first half. Watching Cunningham throw was like watching a lawn chair unfold. You could see that fumble coming a mile away.

@Harry Engel Plus, what's usually forgotten about that 1998 Vikings team was that while their offense was historic in terms of its production, it's defense was maybe average at best at least in terms of points allowed, sacks, interceptions, forced fumbles, etc. Now, if everyone on that defense played up to their potential, I'd rate them perhaps higher as above-average, but by the time of Atl NFCCG, quite a few key defensive stars were injured or weren't 100% prepared and I think also maybe Vikings underestimated Falcons as a team, and I believe Dan Reeves out-coached Green when it came to the intangibles(preparation, focus, determination), in the week leading up to the game and during the game. Dan Reeves is a forgotten HOF-caliber HC who won 2 SB's as a Cowboys asst in the 70s and took Broncos to 3 SB appearances with Elway at the helm. Reeves was certainly capable of out-coaching better, more talented teams in big games. He did 3 times to Browns in the 1980's, winning the AFC Championship Game. He's not or wasn't Bill Belichick or Bill Parcells in his prime, but he could outsmart teams who's HC's had a tendency to make mental errors or make mistakes in-games by being too aggressive, or too greedy, like Green's 98 Vikings. The 2000 Vikings had a good team, but as great as Culpeppers rookie season was, man it is a lot to ask of a rookie QB to win a SB in such a hostile, nasty environment like New York. That 2000 Giants team was a lot better in terms of quality talent then how some experts, writers, and historians have described them as: They had two future HOF's, a QB who found his life and purpose restored again once he quit alcohol for good and ended up having a pretty damn good career, Tiki Barber would be a HOF RB if he retires 2-3 years later then he did prematurely, Jim Fassel hurt the Giants chances more than anyone else because he and his staff micro-managed their team's offensive philosophy going into SB XXXV, this fact has been reported and verified by numerous Giants players, former assistants on Fassel's staff in 2000, as well as by credible Giants beat reporters and columnists. My basic point is: the 2000 Vikings squad didn't lose to some lucky, one-year wonder pushover team that quickly folded up and never emerged again as a contender again like the 2008 Arizona Cardinals or the 2015 Carolina Panthers. Vikings really didn't have another legitimate SB shot until 2009 Favre-led team lost to my Saints in another brutal, closely-contested game. Whenever My Saints play the Vikings, whether it's regular season or postseason, you either get a shootout, a long, painful, brutal OT game that feels like it's lasted 5 hours, or some marathon, heart-stopping contest where the game ends on some miraculous, memorable play like in 2017 with Stefon Diggs making that classic 69-yard TD game that won the game, 29-24, in what's been labeled as the Minneapolis Miracle. Very rarely does a Saints/Viking game turn out to be boring, or a one-sided blowout.

What an original comment

@@timdecoursey287 well I did create it so I think that makes it original

I think they already did Patrick Ewing

People often forget that their was still alot of time left after that kick. It's almost a Mandela effect.

fr they had 20 point lead and coach decided to pass 3 times instead run keep the lead safe terrible coach decision

Kaque Burlington because he was having a Perfect Season (made every FG and XP that year) and is one of the greatest kickers of all time. It would be like if Vinatieri was having a perfect season in 2003 and then missed the kick to beat Carolina in the SB - it wouldn’t matter if the Pats defense let the panthers win, everyone would talk about Vinatieri’s miss.

@Stephen braden I know he was my favorite player. To this day, the only person I didn't know that I cried when he died. Loved that dude.

Rare combination of speed and physicality. That combined with his instincts and IQ made him one helluva player.

idontgivetkachuk facts lol they cursed

Well that would be a reason. If he'd hadn't played for Patriots. You don't get a better percent chance than that. That's why he went. Didn't work out

Thats post hoc horse manure. He smoke pot, BIG DEAL. Kids every day in the country smoke pot. The "domestic violence" charge got dropped (turns out she was lying). He made a few minor mistakes, certainly nothing as bad as TWO DUIS (Baker Mayfield, Mac Jones). Moss went to MARSHALL and caught a TD every single game he played there (an NCAA record that will probably never be broken). Moss would've been great ANYWHERE he went. Brady falling to 199 fueled him, as did Aaron Rodgers falling in the draft fueled him too. Moss was fueled by falling but he would've been super freakish anywhere because his football IQ (according to Bill Belichick Moss is the smartest receiver he's ever met) was off the charts.

Harry Engel make this an original comment. it’ll probably blow up

Didn't win that one either 😢
