Big deal. He wasn't ever even suspended for that incident.
Moss is ancient - and he's missed a grand total of six games his entire career. In those six games without him - his teams have gone 1-5. Three of those six games were in Oakland - how did the Raiders offense do without Moss? They failed to score a single TD in those three games and lost all of them in blowout fashion. Yeah, that was a well oiled machine right there.
As for McCombs ... he made more money off of Moss than Moss ever made off of him. I think he bought the Vikes for 200 million in '98 and sold them for like 600 million after his final year in Minny.
This pretty much says it all about Red .....

During McCombs' run, the Vikings have sold out every home game and made the playoffs four times in seven seasons -- twice advancing to the NFC championship game. But his popularity waned, especially when he talked about moving the team to Los Angeles.
Frustrated by the lack of revenue from a new stadium, McCombs cut costs whenever he could. The Vikings were well under the salary cap this season and have one of the lowest-paid coaching staffs in the league.

If Moss stayed - Red probably wouldn't have sold the team and just kept on pulling his BS.
