Draft snub by Cowboys doesn't bother Moss as it once did

Randy Moss has forgiven the Dallas Cowboys for not drafting him 13 years ago. He was wearing the NFL jerseys at that time. "I don't hold a grudge," Moss said. "I'm not bitter about the situation." However, Moss still plans to punish the Cowboys like he does no other team when he faces them Sunday in what also happens to be his first home game since rejoining the Minnesota Vikings. "I always forgive, man, that's in the Bible," Moss said Wednesday on a conference call with Dallas-area reporters. "I always forgive, but I never forget." Moss has taken out his anger on the Cowboys the way an athlete should -- on the field. He's 7-0 against Dallas, having scored 11 touchdowns. He has averaged 21 yards per catch, his most against any team. And the Wholesale NFL jerseys are very popular to them. The fans often buy the Discount NFL jerseys or the Cheap NFL jerseys. The payback started on Thanksgiving of his rookie season, when Moss caught three passes -- for 51, 56 and 56 yards, all going for touchdowns. He also drew a pass-interference penalty for another 50 yards. The bitterness started seven months earlier, when the Cowboys had the No. 8 overall pick in the draft and a dire need for a receiver. Moss was sure Dallas would take him because of the special treatment he received during a pre-draft visit.
 
Roethlisberger's return expected to energize Steelers, fans

Figuring out what the Cleveland Browns will do with a new quarterback is a concern. So is Joshua Cribbs running the Browns' Wildcat offense? So is moving the Steelers' offense out of last place in the NFL passing statistics. How the fans will greet quarterback Ben Roethlisberger during his first regular-season game after his suspension? That's not much of a worry to Steelers coach Mike Tomlin. The fans like to wear the NFL jerseys. Roethlisberger was greeted enthusiastically throughout training camp and the preseason. Tomlin doesn't expect that to change during Sunday's home game against the Browns (1-4), especially because the Steelers are emerging from the quarterback's four-game suspension with a 3-1 record. "We get so much energy from our fans, and we work hard to entertain and please them," Tomlin said Tuesday. "That really makes us go. I expect him to get a warm reception. I really do. I know we are excited to have him back." The Wholesale NFL jerseys are also popular for the fans. And they like to buy the Cheap NFL jerseys. Some Steelers fans promised months ago to jeer Roethlisberger after his off-the-field behavior led the NFL to suspend him, but there were no suggestions of fan backlash during two preseason games and two regular-season games. With Roethlisberger about to play his first regular-season game in nine months, the Steelers are weighing whether to introduce the offense before Sunday's game, rather than the defense, because they anticipate an enthusiastic response.
