The year is 2006. Randy Moss is miserable. His relationship with the Raiders, which seemed so new and exciting a year ago, was faltering. He had just languished through a game where his quarterback, Andrew Walter, threw for a grand total of 51 yards.
Enough was enough. Moss, in a story that seems scripted out of a scene from Ballers, hops onto a plane, sneaks into the Patriots' hotel room and tells Tom Brady he wants to be a Patriot.
"He said, 'Bro, I wanna play with you,'" Brady revealed in ESPN+'s The Man in the Arena docuseries.
