Moss was acquired by the Vikings in October, 2010 (after he was traded by New England), but then on November 1 was waived by the Minnesota team. This decision came after a press conference in which Moss praised the New England team and criticized Minnesota on their strategies for playing against them. This occurred following a game in which the Patriots beat the Vikings with a score of 28-18. Moss claimed that the Vikings had ignored his advice on how to win against his former team.http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/Randy-Moss-waive-Minnesota-Vikings-after-Patriots-rant-110110
