Moss done no favors this preseason

It looks like the washed up, diva wide receiver comeback tour is now a one man show. As Randy Moss was about to take the field today, I'm sure he had to be thinking...."Thanks T.O. Thanks Chad Johnson. Thanks for nothing!".

Around the time the 49ers and Broncos were about to take the field, T.O. was tweeting he had been cut by Seattle. That makes two failed high profile, washed up diva comebacks the last couple of weeks. Chad Johnson was unceremoniously let go on television...for the whole world to see. His comeback tour fell short because of off the field issues.

T.O. was released for his on the field issues, specifically not being able to catch the damn ball. How ironic considering how long it took for him to catch a break....but I digress.

Like it or not Moss, Johnson, and T.O. are grouped together. All three were once great, all three come with tons of baggage, and all three were non factors in the nfl last season. The nfl has clearly put this comeback tour on a short leash, evidenced by the fact that neither T.O. or Johnson even made it to the regular season. And the Dolphins and Seahawks could use quality veterans at the position. It's apparent that a lack of production or old antics will not be tolerated. The influx of new talent in the league have clearly made them expendable.

What should Moss take from this? The 49ers were a fumble away from the Super Bowl without him last year. Their leash will certainly be the shortest. Shut your mouth and catch everything thrown to you...whenever or how ever many times they throw it to you. Or you my friend, could be on the five year countdown to Canton....starting.....now.   follow @plcolter
