The day the Vikings traded Randy Moss to the Oakland Raiders was a dark day. It was March 2, 2005 and it was not fun. I will never forgive Red McCombs for dumping “Superfreak” just before he sold the team to Zygi Wilfe.

Five and one-half years later, the Vikings are again Super Bowl contenders in what appears to be an ALL-IN or bust season. They have a Hall of Fame quarterback playing his last season in the NFL (we’ll see about that) and loads of talent equal to if not before than the sum of players who Moss first joined as a rookie back in 1998.

In my opinion, it’s time to make a trade and BRING BACK RANDY! Here’s why:

According to the Boston Globe, September 7, 2010 Moss in no longer happy being a Patriot because they haven’t made him a contract offer.

“When you have done so much and put so much work in, it kind of feels like I am not wanted,” Moss said. “I am taking that in stride and playing my final year out and whatever the future holds is what it holds, but it is kind of a bad feeling — feeling not wanted. It is not like my production has gone down.”

The Vikings cut Javon Walker, and have only 4 wide receivers on their roster; Bernard Berrien, Percy Harvin, Greg Camarillo, and Greg Lewis. To make this trade happen, the Vikings might have to give one of them up (Berrien).

Moss is 33, and has always told Vikings fans that he wants to end his career where it started. Getting the Superfreak back for this 2010 run would send a lightning bolt of offensive joy into the fan base and make for an incredibly electric season.

Favre to Moss, Favre to Percy, AP busting loose, Longwell’s xtra point is good. Camrillo over the middle, CAUGHT! That’s another Vikings FIRST DOWN! Look at that truck bounce off the defense! Gerhart for 15 yards of real hard knocks! Visanthe into the end zone… TOUCHDOWN VIKINGS!!!!

I can just hear the Vikings horn in the Metrodome blasting away. Oh, and let’s not forget… Jared Allen tying mythical calves after he sacks opposing quarterbacks, the Williams Wall shutting down every running back they encounter, and the return of a healthy Antoine & EJ along with the South Dakota Hee Haw linebackers.

Man, I would not want to miss a game if Moss came back. Somewhere out there Lombardi would be rolling over in his grave as #4 and #84 hoisted the trophy in the land of “Staubach & Drew Pushed Off” in February.
