ESPN.com recently did a profile on the Best Wide Receiver in the NFL. There number one wide receiver was Randy Moss. I personally feel the list was fine. The second receiver was Terrell Owens and Third was Steve Smith. The List was clearly shaded toward who was hot. I almost exploded when I saw that Santana Moss was number 33 on the list. Players like Bobby Engram and Bernard Berrian were ahead of him.
Who are these guys. Santana is a year removed from the best season in Redskins franchise history for a wide receiver. 84 catches, 1,483 yards, and 9 touchdowns. That same season, Bobby Engram had 67 catches, 778 yards and 3 touchdowns. Are you kidding me? The ESPN writers have always gone with who is hot right now, but this is absurd. Players who have been in the league for two or three years, are on the list ahead of him. That is stupid to me, I feel like ESPN just disrespects what people have done for the game. Santana is a great player, much better than some Roddy White, or Lee Evans, that is pure disrespect. I wonder how much these ESPN people actually make. They just hop on with who is hot.
Its really getting to the point where they aren’t speaking about what they, but more of what they see.
