COULD MOSS EVER GROW ON VIKINGS FANS AND/OR SPONSORS?

          Vikings first-round draft pick WR Randy Moss "will be
     reaching out for a brighter future" this season in MN after
     a troubled past, according to Fred Mitchell of the CHICAGO
     TRIBUNE.  Moss' marketing agent, Keith Kreiter of IL-based
     Edge Sports, said, "Realistically, coming out of the gate, I
     don't think trying to secure endorsements is the way to go
     with Randy right now.  We will certainly have a variety of
     companies who will want to do a deal with him.  I would like
     to see Randy positioning himself properly within the market. 
     And that is called image enhancement.  I would like to see
     him win over the fans in Minnesota and kind of endear
     himself up there a little bit" (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 4/22).
