It's been 13 years since Jerry Jones passed on drafting Randy Moss, but who's counting?
Moss is. He said the snub still motivates him. It just so happens that he'll play the Cowboys in his first home game with Minnesota since being traded by New England.
"Am I still mad at the Cowboys? Man, I always carry a certain chip on my shoulder for the Cowboys,'' Moss said on a conference call with Dallas-area reporters on Wednesday. "You let bygones be bygones but at the same time I've still got that chip.
"It's a little added motivation. I don't really try to go out there and disrespect the Dallas Cowboys organization or say anything negative about Jerry Jones and what he's accomplished there. But I think as far as playing within the white lines, within the rules, I still take it to heart.''
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones apologized last week for what happened with Moss. Does Moss forgive him?
"I always forgive, man, that's in the Bible,'' he said. "I always forgive but I never forget. Jerry Jones, I still respect his organization, the accomplishments that he has made over the years, I don't hold a grudge and I'm not bitter about the situation - this is my 13th year in the league and like I said I forgive him but I don't forget. We're still cool.''
