You Cannot Stop Randy Moss, You Can Only Hope To Restrain Him
Randy Moss has managed to establish quite a career for himself by upstaging NFL cornerbacks. He may have done it again — this time, with off-field issues.
On the same day that Titans cornerback Pacman Jones was accused of sucker punching a female attorney while at a strip club in Atlanta, Moss has allegedly been hit with a restraining order for dating violence, according to a WDBO Radio report (the story has since disappeared from its Web site, but the apparent case summary remains posted here).
