The whole point I am trying to make is about attitudes.

Right... Owens is a less physically-gifted WR than Moss; Moss was given physical skills uheard of in the NFL. He's faster, quicker, better than any other WR before or after him, with better hands. So while he doesn't work as hard as he should, as VEL has said, he is still the best in the NFL. His issues don't make him less than the best. They just make him less than the best that HE COULD BE.

His attitude is different from Owens' attitude, because Moss's issues have almost always been with people outside of his own team. The one instance, walking off the field, in an unwinnable situation, as I said before Favre did with no fanfare, was done out of frustration towards an entire team that lacked the will to win. Owens called out Mariucci after a game, attacked a coach DURING a game, told a coach not to talk to him during a practice... all things that, had he been playing for the Cowboys, he would have been cut or traded by now.

Moss did some stupid, immature shit, but he cared about the Vikings. He wanted to play there. He wanted to play with his teammates. Owens seriously doesn't give a fuck who he's playing with. He can't see past the end of his own nose. Now, Moss cares about the Raiders. He loved the Vikings, but he knows it's a business, and he's moving on. Because he loves the game. Terrell Owens loves Terrell Owens, and he loves money.
