READER FEEDBACK on my Moss vs Souhan tirade:
I was expecting my recent post regarding Moss vs Souhan to be either ignored, or to generate complaints such as “stick to volleyball” or “everyone knows that Moss deserted his team during that game.” (Unfortunately, not everything that everyone knows is true.) But surprisingly, the readers who responded all agreed with me regarding Moss vs Souhan.
C.B. wrote, “You’re right that Moss and Page stand at the top of the list of greatest Vikings ever. It was a huge mistake to trade him – my wife lost interest in the Vikings when they did. As far as character, I remember watching Moss interact with fans after scoring a touchdowns, often picking out disabled fans to give a ball to.”
M.L. wrote, “I quit reading Souhan years ago when he made fun of Jerry Kill’s seizures. Haven’t read him since.”
D.B. wrote, “I didn’t know the stuff you shared about Moss’s background, but it makes sense. Moss was rough around the edges, but clearly smarter than people gave him credit for, and probably a better person too. And I know from reading Souhan that he is an arrogant jerk. No surprise the two didn’t get along.”
