GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
Green Bay general manager Ted Thompson is taking a lot of heat in Packer Nation for his failure to acquire receiver Randy Moss, whom the Raiders traded to the Patriots on Sunday. Columns with headlines like "Packers Totally Miss Boat on Moss" have been floating around the Wisconsin media.But putting the blame on Thompson is shortsighted. Moss was in an unusual situation because he was scheduled to make nearly $10 million this year, and at age 30 it's highly unlikely that he'll play well enough to be worth that kind of money. So before any general manager worth his salt would agree to trade for Moss, he'd want to talk to Moss about renegotiating that contract.
And Moss wasn't willing to do that for any team except the Patriots. Trading for Moss without salary concessions would have been a mistake, and if Thompson couldn't get those concessions, he was wise to avoid a trade.
