MINNEAPOLIS -- Last week, Randy Moss said he hadn’t paid attention to the buzz surrounding the Pro Football Hall of Fame and would have to accept the committee’s decision and move on if not elected to the 2018 class.
That’s good lip service. Moss, who was indeed voted in on Saturday, would have had every reason to be heated had he not been a first-ballot selection. He joins Steve Largent and Jerry Rice as just the third wide receiver to be elected in the first year he became eligible.
We don’t know the ins and outs of the deliberations among the 48-person selection committee, but putting Moss into the Hall of Fame, where he’ll be enshrined with a bronze bust on Aug.
