Randy Moss: "I wanted to play with Atlanta"
Raiders star Randy Moss said when he left the Vikings he wanted to be traded to Atlanta or Baltimore instead of Oakland. Moss said Falcons owner Arthur Blank told him that Atlanta did not want him to come, according to the interview that aired yesterday morning on "Mayhem in the A.M." on 790 The Zone in Atlanta.
"I want to tell every Atlanta Falcon and football fan thats listening to this what happened. When I was getting traded from Minnesota I wanted to come and play for either the Atlanta Falcons or the Baltimore Ravens," Moss said.
"I wanted to play with Atlanta just for the fact of Michael Vick's allusiveness and I wanted to play with a guy such as Ray Lewis because he's on defense and I'm on offense."
"So I did have dreams and high hopes of being traded to the Atlanta Falcons but the president and owner of the Atlanta Falcons (Arthur Blank) told me specifically that he does not want me in Atlanta, there's nothing that I can do to Atlanta and he wished me the best of luck. He did not think that Randy Moss would be a good fit in Atlanta."
Moss then wrapped up his comments on the situation in Atlanta: "Basically it was the president and owner of the team saying there is no cold chance in hell i'll be playing for the Atlanta Falcons. So i took the Atlanta Falcons off my list and tried to go elsewhere."
