"We were deep in the red on those Randy Moss jerseys," says Vikings' Chief Marketing Officer Steve LaCroix. "Forget about our initial production expenses. That 15-foot by 25-foot room at Public Storage was costing an arm and a leg. Six years at $500 a month -- you do the math!"
Within minutes of announcing the trade, the Vikings began selling the dusty, moth-ridden garments on the team's website. No word on whether the jerseys will be laundered prior to being shipped.
When asked about the Vikings' motive for the trade, Moss said he could care less. "I'm just happy to get out of New England," explains the Pro Bowl receiver. "Imagine a place with a climate similar to Minnesota, but you gotta play in an outdoor stadium instead of a dome. It was cold, man. Really cold. Who wants to play in those conditions? Also, Coach [Bill] Belichick was a d**k."
The Vikings plan to hold onto Moss until at least 85 percent of the inventory is sold.
