...or at least so says Randy....

ESPN.com’s Tim Graham emptied out his notebook, and wrote another piece with Randy Moss in his AFC East blog. In it are more gems from the Patriot’s receiver.

“I’m the best wide receiver of all-time, hands down,” Moss told Graham. “I could really give a damn what (Murphy) says.
“I don’t really like to judge people or other athletes. I know what I’m able to do on the field, but the things I’m able to do to dictate how a defense plays the game, I don’t think there’s no other receiver but myself and Jerry Rice to be able to do that.”
Graham asked Moss, who ranks 15th in career receptions with 843, ninth in yards with 13,210 and third in receiving touchdowns with 135, if he felt he needed to break some of Rice’s career records for ultimate validation.
“Me, personally? No. But for the football fans and the sport itself? Yes,” Moss said. “But records are meant to be broken. I think that I’ve made a mark for myself and my name to go down as if not the greatest but one of the greatest players.
To hell with wide receiver. I think I go down as one of the greatest players to ever play this game.”
Moss then shifted his thought, and put it all into context for Graham.
“I don’t really know where I rank at, but as long as I get a Super Bowl ring before I leave this game, I think my life and my goal would be complete in the NFL,” he said.
Moss, who turned 32 in February, also offered this about his future: “There’s still a lot of football left in my body, and I want to definitely play until the wheels fall off.”

Maybe in 8 years from now, a 39-year-old Brady will still be slinging it in the Silver & Blue to a 40-year-old Moss? I guess stranger things have happened.
So is Moss the Greatest WR of All-Time like he thinks (perhaps tongue-in-cheek)? (Heck, I remember prior to 2007, many folks on this board not even thinking he was a surefire HOFer.)
