I was a big Moss fan from the begining, dude had freakish talent. One of the most gifted footbal players ever. Dude could have been the best WR ever. It got said on the radio today that I agreed with that he was missing that inner drive to be the best that guys like Rice and Carter had, he was more interested in money and his own hype...I changed my mind about him when he came to the Raiders and he was all but unwilling to play, and I resent him for basically giving up. Moss will be a Hall of Famer, but I dont respect him for his lack of effort.
As far as him "retiring", I think he is calling sitting out a retirement. He wasnt able to get an offer from a team he wanted to go to, and is waiting out another offer. I'd say when October rolls around, and a possible contender needs a WR for around $1 million, he will get a call and accept it.
