MINNEAPOLIS -- Fifteen years ago, the Minnesota Vikings hosted a Monday night
game and beat the New York Giants with three touchdown catches by Randy Moss.
Gareth Bale Wales Jersey .Same matchup, same
site, but this time Moss will be on the sideline in a suit and tie.Theres no
mystery, either, about where his loyalty still lies.I know its going to be fun
to be back and see these boys remain undefeated, said Moss, now an ESPN analyst
at age 39 who is four years removed from his final season in the NFL and 12
years out from his last full season with Minnesota.The Vikings (3-0) will face
the Giants (2-1) for the sixth time in their series on a Monday night. This will
also be the second prime-time kickoff at U.S. Bank Stadium, two games into the
sparkling $1.1 billion buildings history.Two weeks ago, the Vikings beat rival
Green Bay 17-14 to break in their glass-fronted, ship-shaped new venue.I was a
little excited for it and felt the energy from my own house, said Moss, who
shared his enthusiasm on Instagram that day before the game . So I know its
going to be loud.Moss played for five teams in all. He made his mark with the
Vikings after they drafted him in the first round in 1998 following his slide
down the board due to character concerns. Moss created his share of conflicts
and controversies in Minnesota, and his second stint in 2010 ended after four
games in spectacularly implosive fashion. But the lanky, loquacious wide
receiver never lost his love for the franchise. Naturally, after Moss landed his
new job with the ESPN crew, he quickly circled the game at Minnesota on his
calendar.Im more of an old-school guy, closing in on 40 years old, Moss said on
a recent conference call. Im excited to see the fans and the new stadium. ...
But all my memories lie with the old Metrodome.The Giants will bring with them a
talented, talkative pass catcher who perhaps reminds Moss a little bit of
himself .Odell Beckham Jr. has 19 catches for 280 yards through three games for
the Giants. But he hasnt scored a touchdown yet and was agitated throughout his
much-hyped matchup against cornerback Josh Norman in a loss to Washington last
week. Beckham had to be confronted on at least two occasions by new coach Ben
McAdoo about keeping his poise.Thats passion, man. Theres other ways I guess
that people show it, but man, he wants to make plays. He wants to make plays,
Moss said, adding: That man really wants to get up in that end zone. When he
gets up in that end zone, thats when hes allowed to strut and dance and do all
that other stuff. So I understood his frustration, but at the same time, be able
to control it and hold it.The Giants are depleted at running back, with Rashad
Jennings (thumb) listed as questionable and Shane Vereen (triceps) out for the
season. But theyve got enough downfield threats for quarterback Eli Manning with
Beckham, rookie Sterling Shepard and a resurgent Victor Cruz that this will be
an intriguing matchup with coach Mike Zimmers defense.Its going to be a test,
said Manning, whos 2-5 in seven career starts against the Vikings, with five of
his 14 interceptions returned for touchdowns. Our receivers have to get open at
times. We have to run the ball well and get in good down and distance. Its a
combination of a lot of things. They have a good third-down blitz package. We
have to be prepared for a lot of things.The Vikings harassed the last two NFL
MVP award winners in the last two weeks, totaling 13 sacks against Green Bays
Aaron Rodgers and Carolinas Cam Newton, but theyre not any more comfortable
facing Manning. Their 49-17 victory at home last season was aided by the absence
of Beckham and the elimination of the Giants from the playoff chase earlier that
day.I dont rate guys or rank guys or anything like that, but I mean the guy has
won two Super Bowls, Zimmer said. He knows where to go with the ball. He gets it
out quick. Hes got good footwork. Hes always a big challenge to
play.---Online:AP NFL website:

down over the issue of increased ticket prices next season. The clubs owners,
Fenway Sports Group, released a statement on Thursday revealing a turnaround in
their decision to raise some ticket prices to £77 next season.Instead, prices
will now be frozen for the next two years, with the most expensive remaining at
£59. The statement, which was signed by owners John W. Henry, Tom Werner and
Mike Gordon, also included an apology for the upheaval that caused many fans to
walk out of Anfield in the 77th minute of the 2-2 draw with Sunderland on
Saturday. Liverpool fans protested against high ticket prices during the FA Cup
Fourth Round replay against West Ham Klopp hopes the release of the statement
will now defuse tensions between supporters groups and the clubs boardroom. I
think that in the world of football its not too easy to be the owner of a club
and to prove that you are really interested in the club, said Klopp, speaking at
a press conference ahead of Liverpools Premier League trip to Aston Villa on
Sunday. Klopp: Their reaction was a clear reaction, it was a sign and hopefully
its proof of their real interest in this club I know it, Ive been here for four
and a half months and I know our owners as people.
