  - thats a sweet deal if it plays out that way -- nm - crash davis Nov 1, 12:45

- Darren Rovell's comments on Minnesota retailers stuck with inventory of brand-new Moss jerseys is pretty funny. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 1, 12:41 1
  - (again) -- nm - Spawn Nov 1, 12:41
- if Buffalo does snag him, the December 5th matchup (in Minny) will be interesting - Guy Nov 1, 12:40 2
  - and isn't their next game the one played in Toronto? -- nm - zork Nov 1, 12:48
  - I think he should be handed form team to team - whoever is playing the vikes that week. -- nm - Spawn Nov 1, 12:41

I think Randy Moss has has the strangest career trajectory of any athlete I've ever watched. - David Nov 1, 12:29 10
- One other thought: can you imagine if someone had speculated prior to the season that the Vikings would cut Moss in the middle of the season? - David Nov 1, 12:35 1
  - *connects all the dots and somehow, it spells out "Karma #4" -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 1, 12:38
- Kurt Warner has to be up there -- nm - crash davis Nov 1, 12:30 7
  - Warner's got to be the strangest and most unique HoF-worthy career of them all, no? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 1, 12:31 1

- That's the big news? -- nm - lileve Nov 1, 12:33
- Next couple of days should be interesting. Even with the lower change increments all that buying has to effect the market. -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 1, 12:32 3
  - And how the heck do I find time to buy more shares in over 1,500 stocks? ;) -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 1, 12:41 2
    - I simply don't have this kind of time. And if i did I should be doing something else with it. I guess that's it for me. -- nm - Diva Nov 1, 12:53 1
      - Yup, I'll probably just go for the higher limits when I'm trading for other reasons. -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 1, 13:02
