Moss-Garnett: Traded To Champions?

So the offseason had a couple of big name moves that have the sportsheads talking and me wondering why. First, we'll go back a month or so ago when the New England Patriots acquired Randy Moss. This move alone has many 'experts' picking the Patriots to go to the Super Bowl - proving that the 'experts' don't know shit and are more about sensationalizing a move and disregarding reality.

Unless these 'experts' haven't watched a game of NFL football in the past 5 years, Randy Moss has been nothing but a cancer to the two teams he has been on and his 'prime' was almost 10 years ago. Not sure how an aging, whiny, all-about-me receiver helps the Patriots and doesn't hurt them...oh yeah... the Patriots are picked to win it every year as long as Brady and Bellicheck are there...

Now today, Kevin Garnett goes to the Boston Celtics, one of the worst teams in the NBA last year, and again, many 'experts' have the Celtics being a team to beat...just like that. Sure they acquired Ray Allen and have Paul Pierce...but last I checked both of those guys are injured every other day. Kevin Garnett, even in his MVP season and a team that was built around him, could not win an NBA championship. KG also has shown through his time in the NBA that he is more willing to pass the ball then take (and miss) a game winning shot.

I really need to become a sports-hypester because I would easily be on 6-10 ESPN shows a day. My basic premise will be that any player involved in any move will guarantee instant success for the Yankees or Red Sox because in the end, every sport revolves around the Yankees or Red Sox...at least according to ESPN.
