Default Where do they find some of these sports writers?

Get a load of this gem from the Boston Globe...

Quote:
Through three games, Moss is off to the best start of his career. His 26 receptions are tops in the NFL and better than the 22 catches he made through three games at the start of his record-shattering 2007 season.
Why? Because he's the outright leauge leader in one of the single most overrated and meaningless stats in football?

He's played on 4 different teams - with 5 different starting qb's - that started the season 6-0 or better.

The '98 Vikings (Brad Johnson 2 starts, Randall Cunningham 4)

The '00 Vikings (Culpepper 6 starts) <-- team was 24th in the leauge in points against

The '03 Vikings (Culpepper 3 starts, Gus Frerotte 3 starts) <-- team was 23rd in the leauge in points against

The '07 Patriots (Brady)


Brett Favre's been playing since 1991 and he's never once played on a team that started 6-0.

Tom Brady, Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw, and Troy Aikman are the only four QB's with 3 or more Super Bowl wins.

Throughout their entire career .. Brady played on 2 teams that started 6-0, Montana played on 2, Bradshaw played on 1 and Aikman played on 0.


This has been probably the 2nd worst start to a year Moss has ever had. The threat of the deep ball hasn't been there.
