Statement regarding Moss
The attorney representing Rachelle Washington, who filed a temporary restraining order against Randy Moss, released a statement today:
NBCSports.com has the text of the statement from David McGill, which reads:
"For the past 11 years, Ms. Washington has cared deeply for Mr. Moss and has been there for him throughout all of his trials and tribulations. However, she refuses to be further disrespected by him. It has never been her intention to hurt Mr. Moss in any way. However, she has suffered mental and physical harm as a result of his actions. She simply wants him to take responsibility for what he has done. As a battery victim, she has shown great strength throughout this entire ordeal.
"Ms. Washington has been unfairly characterized as someone simply seeking financial gain. In fact, it was Mr. Moss' representatives who first contacted our office to offer a "six figure" settlement with hopes of not having this incident become public record.
"We have heard Mr. Moss' statement regarding the incident. He has acknowledged that he was at Ms. Washington's Florida residence and that he was "guilty" of an "accident" which occurred. However, Mr. Moss fails to mention how his reckless and degrading conduct rendered Ms. Washington unable to drive her vehicle to seek medical attention. As the evidence will show, there is serious doubt that Mr. Moss is capable of recalling with clarity the exact details of what transpired that evening. As Mr. Moss has previously stated, "Do your homework and check his resume.
"We look forward to presenting all of the evidence at the court hearing on January 28, 2008."



These are just not the right kind of indications for the sunday game.... Wind, Moss and "Hot" Chargers ---->Upset????
Could they be any more smug?
This chick will be lucky if she is not the next "Stripper from the Duke Lax Case".
How did he prohibit her from going to seek medical help? It sounds like she is claiming he was under the influence, so did she want him to drive her somewhere? The story still just doesn't add up.
Randy's maturity in interviews, his strict following of company line and his taking a paycut to be a part of a "team" has earned my respect (the 23 TDs didn't hurt either). That gold digger and her lawyers just look like gold diggers to me.
this guys must hate the Pats.... and why must this play out in the media?
So now we're subjected to attorney McGill releasing comments to the sports press. I see no point to his doing so unless her case is weak and McGill wants to try the case in the media. Yet another nail in the coffin of legal responsibility and professionalism. The person I feel most sad for is Myra Kraft, who is determined that her husband, and his organization, be recognized only for the highest standards of personal and professional conduct. Yes, we all knew that Moss was a lightning rod that could damage the Patriots but it's sad that this had to happen in a season of a possible perfect and historic performance.
GOLD DIGGER
So, he allegedly offered her $500k not to file a temporary restraining order.. Who doesn't jump at taking that money?
Sounds like a scum bag lawyer looking to get his cut from a hopeful settlement.
Based on the the limited information we have about this incident, I tend to support Randy's version rather than Ms. Washington's. If attorney David Mcgill's claim is true that a " six figure" offer to settle the matter came from Mr. Moss' camp then why did she turn it down and go public instead? Apparently Ms. Washington and her representatives want us to believe that this is about something other than money. Would she prefer an apology instead of a check? I don't think so. I think her true intent is to punish Mr. Moss by taking him to court and to hopefully get much more than the alleged " six figure" offer. In the end her attempt to smear Mr. Moss' success will fail and his version will be upheld.

Lies....
1. The alleged injury was January 6. Why so late to file the restraining order when Moss was going to be in New England anyway?
2. Broward County = Dolphin country. Connect the dots. There is no reason at all why this had to be done NOW, if it wasn't urgent. Timing is obvious.
3. If she was so injured, 911 could have been called.
This smells very "fishy"...

why the hell is she coming forward NOW? this allegedly happened during the bye week, which was over a month ago. she's stupid for coming forward with this at of course, days before the AFC championship.
hats off to randy for coming forward and making a statement rather than hide it, i support randy and go kick some chargers ass!
Wow, I wonder if all of these comments would be different if Moss were a bust or if he still played for Oakland. Obviously, something happened and it was enough to prompt Moss's camp to offer her money to keep quiet. No attorney is going to make such an allegation of a payoff in the press if it weren't true. And if it is all BS and this woman is just some low life trying to take advantage of Moss, then what does that say about the caliber of company Moss keeps, particularly since he has known her for 11 years. Just curious, but would anybody be shocked if the allegations turned out to be true?
No hospital report, no doctor's report, no police report ........ no case.
Randy's got a long rap sheet going back to his high school and college days. Trouble right from the start, signed w/ Notre Dame but ran into trouble w/ the law, then on to Florida State, same story. Same M. O. in pros. Hard to buy into this woman's story, but where there's smoke there's fire.
"And while the nature of the incident in which Washington was injured still isn't known -- Moss told the Boston Herald that people would laugh when they heard the full story -- it's believed that Moss did not come in direct contact with Washington but that her hand was injured."
Maybe they were making love and she fell off the bed and broke her hand?
Hmmm that is an accident and laughable. LOL. If she was unable to drive, didn't Florida implement 911 system as the rest of the union states?
This is sounding like a Republican presidential election ploy. Coming to the news/smear desk at this time it seems Ms. Washington didn't get what she wanted over the PAST ELEVEN YEARS!!!. Honey think about it! ELEVEN YEARS!!! Now it seems she is trying to at least get her 15 seconds of fame of which she was unable to do over the past ELEVEN YEARS!!!. When somebody says "they care about someone" it reminds me of "It's not personal, just business". Ya right!
Even with the championship coming in the next couple days. I'm sure Randy will do what the rest of us will do at the end of the day. Crawl in bed and get a good night sleep.
Well there are holes for sure and to be honest, obtaining a restraining order is easy. The two biggest questions I have are "Why couldn't she call 911?" and "Why hasn't a criminal complaint been filed"? It's not as if you need to take more than a week to get that into the courts. They could have done both on the same day, which has me baffled. Is this Mike Nifong? Probably not, but the whole thing smells a bit.
My gut tells me that Ms. Washington loves Randy, but he doesn't love her enough to commit to a lifelong relationship. That issue probably came up and Randy decided it was best to sever ties and after 10 plus years of waiting for the man to commit Ms Washington wants to recoup something for her effort. The easiest way to get revenge is to tarnish his reputation (he's an easy target) via the media and seek monies. It's not gold digger behavior, but it's not right either. Just a gut feeling.
WHEN AN ATTORNEY SAYS ITS NOT ABOUT MONEY THEN HE SHOULD NOT TAKE ANY IF THERE IS A FINANCIAL SETTLEMENT.GIVE HIS PORTION TO CHARITY.THE ATTY MUST HAVE GOTTEN AHOLD OF THIS POOR ABUSED(HIC) PERSON AND ADVISED HER THAT HE COULD GET MORE THAN RANDY'S PEOPLE OFFERED. ITS ALL ABOUT MONEY
Here is the attorney's details.
He has been a lawyer for less than two years and "specializes" in Sports Law. This is completely about chasing the money...

It seems to me that Ms Washington and her lawyer are taunting Randy Moss and will continue to do so with more and more media releases. I hope Randy Moss responds with a gentle "no comment".
Lies...GOLD DIGGER
"For the past 11 years, Ms. Washington has cared deeply for Mr. Moss and has been there for him throughout all of his trials and tribulations. However, she refuses to be further disrespected by him. It has never been her intention to hurt Mr. Moss in any way."
So what now, she doesnt care for him anymore..so for 11 years this gold digger and ger scum attorney decided to pounce on Randy when hes at the top.They should be ashamed of themselves. They both need to go on the Jerry Springer Show. LOOOSERS!!
Timing...timing...timing...
If it wasn't for the no police report (lawyer retained) and the timing of this I may give it more credence.
I beleive it is all Bill Parcells fault. Hasn't been in Florida for a week and is stiring up trouble. Go Tuna
Randy's lawyer responds and he calls it extortion. Listen to the interview at this link. It's an MP3 from KFAN in Minneapolis. The Attorney is Joe Friedberg

"hell hath no fury, like a woman scorned"
Has this chick ever been told about this new form of travel to a hospital they've invented - It's call an ambulance. Dial 911 honey.
January 28th, try as they might to get Randy's hair in a tither. is'nt that media week for the super bowl? Randy, do what you did all season long, let your hands be on the recieving end . with your winning share of the super bowl money donate it to the battered womans shelter of your choice. and 1 more thang, Do not say anymore on the subject.
Yeah, poor 'ol Randy is being set up, there was no battery--just a self described "accident" with no details forthcoming.
Brady or Belichick could blow up a school bus and you boston boneheads would blame the Department of Education. At least you have a player who mirrors the fan base.
Having listened to Moss's representative, he says that the finger injury - a finger injury - was received during 'consensual horseplay'. IE they were foolin' around. She hurt her finger. Its not a cut finger. She had an x ray, and no damage. They were sitting around, watching the play offs. Theyve known each other since college. In the course of the foolin' around, she hurt her finger. Moss applied ice to it. He left 45 minutes later. She wanted him to stay, he needed to get back to MA.
'What behind this thing, I really dont know,' the representative said.
Indeed, it's hard to guess....but I must say, Im in Moss's camp on this. So far.

If you call that a friend I would hate to see his Enemy's
To me she sounds like a GOLD DIGGER and is only out for the Almighty Buck
i hope when they find HER guilty they put her a nice CELL w/ the key thrown away
How dare her bring this out now
Why would Moss possible RUIN his career his contract hasn't been re-newed yet so why would he even take that chance
It sounds like that girl needs to be locked up
Clearly the scariest part of the PR is the following:
"there is serious doubt that Mr. Moss is capable of recalling with clarity the exact details of what transpired that evening"
That's pretty clear that the Lawyer is insinuating that Randy was drunk or stoned out of his mind.
Hey JD, if a bus blows up, it'll be a little short bus and hopefully you'll be the only one on it you retard.
Oh ya, that's Boston with a big "B" you Bonehead!
"Mr. Moss fails to mention how his reckless and degrading conduct rendered Ms. Washington unable to drive her vehicle to seek medical attention. "
What did Randy do that is so "degrading?"
Don't be fooled, and make no mistake:
1/ It's all about MONEY.
2/ For the story to conveniently explode before the important AFCCG, she's out to hurt Moss.
Any way to know if this attorney, his client or their family and friends are gamblers? If so, it'd be interesting to see where their money falls on this game - I'd wager that they'll take the Bolts and the points...these people disgust me.

It is a sad day for all ! Do not judge !
Randy Moss was not in the lime light during the last game? I am sure that other Pats fans notice his low profile last week?
My comment is to JD. Brother, relax. Why attack the entire patriot fan base? Having visited many NFL stadiums, I find the Pats fans to be among the best behaved, educated, football savvy and welcoming in the nation. Yes, they love their Pats, but boneheads they are not.

We all knrew he was a thug, but just didn't think it would come out in the biggest game of his life. OUCH! Are the Patriots the new Raiders?
It's not just before "the biggest game in his life". That will be the one AFTER the Pat's beat the Chargers.
... and the gold digger's reputation slides down into the garbage dumps where it belongs.
Extortion is a crime. Leave Mr. Moss alone.
they still did not come out and say what happened, she is just looking for money! Either way no chargers upset Pats by 14, atleast! As someone mentioned he took a huge pay cut and has been a model citizen since coming hereIt is simply amazing how people turn on you went their eyes glaze over with $$$ signs
How many of you guys have dated freaky, nutty chicks in the past? Think about it, many of us were probably VERY lucky to get out of some relationships without incident, too much broken property, or even a police report!
Now just think if any of us were MILLIONAIRES, with the same problem...
The word TARGET comes to mind- especially cause it's Moss! His past perception is being used against him.
lol... one of you seriously feels bad for MYRA KRAFT?
talk about golddiggers!
I think this attorney is just a 2 bit ambulance chaser and is trying to create another high profile victim to extort to get money and I wouldn't be at all surprised if that loser of a blackmailing woman didnt tell randy she would do it around the playoffs if he did not pay~! My suggestion to the gold digger and ambulance chaser is cool it, God is watching.
How do you smack a girl and become a model citizen? Is that the Boston way?
what a moron if she was so hurt how could he have stopped her from going to the hospital. some one should tell her theres a champinoship game this weekend and no one cares about her broke ass.
"How do you smack a girl and become a model citizen? Is that the Boston way?"
you score 23 touch downs
I guess you are validating that it IS the Boston way - CLASSLESS!
Just and accident? Didn't OJ once say, "Nicole and I were just wraslin." Moss was smacking girls around when he was a teenager. Then he has the nerve to stand in front of the media and say he has never hit a woman. He's a liar. He'll make more headlines for cruel and creepy things. He must hate women, he even ran over a female cop while in Minnesota. Moss is a work in progress OJ. Hope he ruins the Patsies perfect season.
Brady is also a bit of misoginist.
Add Pacman during the off season to complete the Troika.
A lot of morons here. Ikes. Makes me embarresed to be a Boston fan sometimes. Anyway, if you haven't read Randy's agent's email, do so. Compare that statement to this one then say what you think.

I think it's quite obvious the woman has been in love with Randy for years, however, the feelings weren't mutual. She got fed up with a relationship that was only physical and felt used. She was distraught, angry, and emotionally vulnerable, and was an easy target for a shark attorney to take advantage of. If she hasn't already, she'll soon wish she had never signed on to this mess.
Don't be hatin on Randy. Had this been anyone else but Randy Moss it would have just gone away.
