Randy Moss's career was always mired in controversy. During a time of diva wide receivers, Moss was one of the most dramatic. Sometimes his talent was overshadowed by his antics, but his raw ability was more than enough to keep him one of the most sought after receivers in the NFL. However, there was apparently a telephone situation where tellings of some of his exploits went awry; that is according to Moss himself.
Moss's quote "I play when I want to play" is one that dogged him his entire career after leaving the Vikings via a trade to the Raiders in 2005.
