Randy Moss gets exactly what he deserves with quick induction into Hall

There are many words that could have been used to describe Randy Moss during his 14-year NFL career. They include petulant, recalcitrant, defiant, cocky, brilliant and complex.Moss was all of these things and more but no matter how you felt about him, or his personality, he also was one of the greatest wide receivers to play the game.

That greatness is why Moss will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday evening in Canton, Ohio. The 48-person committee that selects the class each year picked Moss last February in his first year of eligibility.
There was a thought this group might make Moss wait because 1) Wide receivers often have had to be patient when it comes to getting into the Hall, as evidenced by the fact it took Cris Carter six tries; and 2) The committee is made up of mostly media members and Moss’ surliness with that group could have been held against him.
Neither of these things ended up being an issue and they shouldn’t have been. It was only fitting that Moss was quickly elected to the Hall considering he had to wait until the 21st pick of the 1998 draft before the Vikings selected him. Nineteen teams passed on Moss because of character concerns, including the Cincinnati Bengals doing it twice.
All of them came to regret it...

I'm going to go out on a limb and say no one associated with the Colts regrets taking Peyton Manning instead of Randy Moss.
