The New England Patriots are no strangers to shocking trades, as we saw Monday when they moved linebacker Jamie Collins to the Browns. Randy Moss, now an ESPN analyst, was on the other side of a Bill Belichick stunner in April 2007, when the Patriots snagged him from the Raiders for a fourth-round pick. With the NFLs trade deadline on Tuesday, Moss recounts what it was like to get traded to New England, how he clicked with Tom Brady so quickly and his biggest regret.How did you first find out you were being traded to the Patriots?I got a phone call and it was Bill Belichick. I thought it was a friend or somebody playing with my phone. I actually cussed him out. When he kept saying it was Bill Belichick, I knew he was serious. I started being apologetic because I had cussed the man. Then he told me the Raiders were thinking about trading me. I had to be in Foxborough by 10 p.m. Eastern, or the trade would void. So, I just did everything that I could possibly do to get up there by 10 p.m.After I got off the phone with him, I was excited. I was hyped. I was in a club that night. Defensive tackle Shaun Rogers, who played for the Detroit Lions?at the time, was there, so I went up there, high-fiving him, hugging random people. Shaun asked me what was going on and I said to him, Im getting ready to be a Patriot. The first thing that came out of his mouth was, Man, thats cheatin.What else do you remember from your first conversation with Belichick?Bill basically said he thought I was still effective, that I could be the deep threat like when I came into the league. All those little things. He still had faith. He still believed I could go out there and do what I normally do.What did you think about being traded for a fourth-round pick?I could see why they did it. I wasnt that productive in Oakland. We were not productive as a team in Oakland. So the price tag might have gone down. There was some things said about me from coaches and the front office about how my skills were diminishing. I had [a lot of money] on the table. I told the Oakland Raiders they could keep all of that money. I didnt want to play anymore. So I really wasnt tuned in to what was going on in Oakland. I got refocused and became a Patriot.Was there any adjustment period working with Brady?We clicked right away. When Tom was audibling, I always wanted to know why. When it came to preparation, when it came to protections, one-word audibles, things like that, I always wanted to make sure that I knew what was going on before it went on. That would help me play faster. The magic and the numbers, and the records we broke, that was hard work.What are your thoughts as you look back on your time with the Patriots?One thing it let me do was refocus. I understood where I was in my career and that I still wanted to play. And I understood that I still had a lot of football left to play. It was about me redefining myself as an individual, working hard, getting refocused. We started winning every week, and it just gave me momentum. I was scoring touchdowns, I was blocking, doing all the little things that receivers dont do in todays game. That gave me the ability to critique myself -- the good and the bad. I think thats why good things were able to happen. We held each other accountable, no matter what.Do you have any regrets from your time with the Patriots?The only regret: Having an undefeated season, doing so many great things, then, when the game counted for us to really bring it home in the Super Bowl, we couldnt bring it home. Jason Pominville Jersey .ca! Hi Kerry, Heres an interesting one. I know its common knowledge that all players are responsible for their sticks. We witnessed that when Zack Kassian hit Edmontons Sam Gagner in the face after a missed check. Victor Antipin Jersey .C. -- Al Jefferson joked that he feels he can score from anywhere on the court. http://www.authentichockeyshopsabres.com/Jacob-Josefson-Jersey/ . They reached the 100-point plateau for the fourth time in five games, bested the visiting Trail Blazers by 34 in the paint and scored 19 of the final 25 points in regulation. Jordan Nolan Jersey . -- Ohio States Urban Meyer has never had any issue acclimating to the biggest stages in college football. Derek Roy Jersey . NBA officials ruled the court unplayable in the Bucks final exhibition game on Oct. 25 because players were slipping, and the game was cancelled midway through the first period. WACO, Texas -- With its work in the classroom finished for the semester, No. 4 Baylor was ready to focus on basketball Wednesday night.The Bears had taken an 11-day break for final exams, but they didnt show any rust with five players scoring in double figures, led by Johnathan Motleys 20 points and 10 rebounds, in an 89-59 victory over Southern.Coming off finals, youre always worried, Is the team going to be focused? Are they going to have their legs? Are they going to come out and not be ready to go? Baylor coach Scott Drew said. And we got out to a great start and got separation early. And then, did a good job of maintaining that.The Bears (9-0) hadnt played since a 76-61 win over then-No. 7 Xavier on Dec. 3, but opened on an 11-0 run and scored 15 of the games first 18 points. They turned 11 first-half Southern turnovers into 20 points on the other end.Jared Sam and Shawn Prudhomme scored 24 points each to lead Southern (4-6). They combined to shoot 18 for 27 from the field, but the rest of the Jaguars combined to make five field goals.We finally got Shawn and Jared going, but that was mostly in the second half, Southern coach Roman Banks said. In the first half we had no rhythm. In the second half, we cut it to 19 and we missed a couple layups. That was our last true run at that point.Ishmail Wainright helped Baylor with 14 points and five steals, Al Freeman put in 14 points and Jo Lual-Acuil and King McClure went for 10 apiece. Manu Lecomte and Jake Lindsay both had eight assists for Baylor.Early in the second half, we tried to make some spectacular plays instead of making the easy plays, Drew said. And we want to make sure were operating mmore efficiently, but I think the guys just wanted to excite the crowd a little bit.dddddddddddd The big thing is we were pretty consistent the entire night defensively, holding them to 59 points. And 22 assists on 36 made field goals was very impressive.BIG PICTURESouthern: Prudhomme and Sam came up big for the Jaguars against their toughest opponent to date. If they can find others to help them out, they should be a team to reckon with during SWAC play.Baylor: The Bears have shown a mix of size and athleticism during their perfect start, and both of those were bolstered Wednesday with the addition of Nuni Omot, a 6-foot-9 swingman. Omot missed the first eight games because of an issue with his credits transferring, but scored eight points in his debut.(Omot brings) length, incredible athleticism, the ability to stretch the floor because he shoots the ball so well at 6-9, Motley said. Hes just an awesome athlete. Hell add more athleticism than we already have. Hell add length to our defensive lineup. It will be good when he puts it all together.UP NEXTSouthern will stay on the road for two more games against UAB on Sunday and Nebraska on Tuesday before returning home to close nonconference play against Southeastern Louisiana on Dec. 28.Baylor finishes its nonconference slate with a neutral-site game at Fort Hood against Jackson State on Saturday before home games against NAIA John Brown on Sunday and Texas Southern on Dec. 21.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.
