Randy Moss Denies Hitting Woman

A temporary restraining order has been issued against Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss after a Florida woman says he battered her and then refused to let her to seek medical care.

“All I want to say is they’re false allegations,” Moss said. “It’s something I’ve been battling for the last couple days, threats of going public if I didn’t pay X amount of dollars. Before people rush quick to judgment, I think you need to find out the facts about what’s going on.”

“All I know is, it’s a friend of mine, a young lady, and it was an accident where she hurt herself to where they called me, called my attorneys trying to get X amount of dollars out of me and if we don’t give X amount of dollars to her, (they’re) going to go to the press before the (Jacksonville) game . . . so I just want to get out to the people I am aware of what’s going on, and I don’t really want people to rush quick to judgment and not know the facts.”

For any other team this would be a major distraction, but since this is the Patriots I doubt it will have much effect on their preparation for the San Diego Chargers. But if these allegations are true, the chances of Moss being resigned by New England are slim to none.
