Moss Disses Packers

SCOTTSDALE -- Randy Moss says he thinks he would have enjoyed playing with Packers quarterback Brett Favre, but knows he would not have liked playing in Green Bay.

"I think Brett Favre wanted to talk to me," said Moss, who wanted to get out of Oakland after a couple of dismal seasons with the Raiders. "Green Bay was in the picture. But things were told to me about manuevering money around and making it a good fit. The Packers were really talking about the wrong things, and not the right things. When they started talking more about the wrong things, I just hung up the phone and didn't want to talk to them any more.

"I thought, at first, it was something that could have worked, for the fact that Brett Favre was there. But I think, as the conversations occurred, I didn't really want to go to Green Bay.

"They were just talking about their team concept and the wide receivers and Donald Driver. It was like they were telling me that they were going to somewhat take a chance on me, but saying: 'If you do come here, these are things you have to watch out, and be on your best behavior, and Donald Driver is the top receiver here, so don't come in and try to step on his toes.' Things like that.

"I didn't think that was right because, my whole career, I have been taken out of context sometimes, but, at the end of the day, all I wanated to do was win games. I didn't really feel they wanted me. I felt that Brett Favre wanted me, but I didn't really feel the Packers wanted me."
