The Canadian Press: Ever controversial, Randy Moss is loved by teammates and cursed by coaches: "Ever controversial, Randy Moss is loved by teammates and cursed by coaches

MINNEAPOLIS — There is Randy Moss the playmaker and Randy Moss the play skipper.
Randy Moss the gracious and Randy Moss the petty.
Randy Moss the player's player and Randy Moss the coach's scourge.
The many faces of Randy Moss include the fiery leader whose stirring halftime speeches have spurred his teams to victory, and the pouting malcontent who has bailed on his teammates before a game was even over.
They also include the generous spirit who brings needy children to amusement parks and makes their faces light up with a game ball, and the childish bully who berated a caterer for serving a spread 'I wouldn't feed to my (expletive) dog.'
Moss may well be the greatest receiver of his generation and yet he's always been one of the most polarizing players around — an uncompromising, inscrutable individual in a game that depends on fitting into a team's system. It's the basic reason he is playing for his third club in just over a month, and the Tennessee Titans were the only one of the league's 32 franchises to put in a claim for him when he hit the waiver wire last week."
