Have The Titans Not Learned What The Vikings And Patriots Learned?

So the Tennessee Titans claimed Randy Moss off of waivers.  Now let me say this, Randy Moss is a heckuva football player.  And over the years he has shown what he can do. But this latest episode has really proven the kind of person he is, or maybe has become.

I’m not talking about the laziness of not going hard every play; that’s been know for a while.  And I’m not talking about the lack of a filter when he talks to the press; same answer there.  But his attitude that came out during the post practice meal last week, wow another Ben Roethlisberger.

What do I mean by that?  Well if you remember a lot of the stories that came out after Big Ben got into trouble…. about how many times, when he was called out about something in public, his response typically was “Do you know who I am?”.

Now, when the catered meal was served to the Vikings after practice last Friday, his comments were basically the same type of reaction.  He is above that, according to his standards, at least now that he has “money”.

That sense of entitlement is what I despise about many professional athletes today.  They’ve been blessed with great talent, talent given as a gift by the good Lord by the way, not earned.  And they live in a country where we are crazy enough to pay outlandish prices for tickets, merchandise, satelitte dishes, big flat screen tv’s and other things that allows the owners to pay them ridiculous amounts of money to play a game.

And they believe that they are better than the rest of us?  Well I am as tired of that kind of attitude as I am of the politicians in Washington.  But I guess the Titans are willing to gamble that it won’t become a cancer in their locker room.  Good luck with that Jeff Fisher!
