On Monday, ESPN's "First Take" debated whether Randy Moss' NFL career is over. Moss tweeted "good luck" to the 49ers during the weekend, saying he wished they could have made more of their chance at the Super Bowl. Skip Bayless is a huge fan of Moss but thinks he'll have trouble getting another shot, given his subpar performance in the Super Bowl. Stephen A. Smith points to the 49ers not including Moss in much of their offensive plans as a problem. What's your take?

How does SportsNation see Super Bowl XLVII playing out? As NFL experts everywhere attempt to forecast which players will deliver big performances on football's biggest stage, we're asking SportsNation to join in on the fun. Do you think Colin Kaepernick will score a rushing touchdown? How will Ray Rice fare against the 49ers' stout defense? Will Ray Lewis do his squirrel dance when the clock hits 00:00? Cast your votes!

On Thurday, "First Take" debated which new wide receiver will have the biggest impact on his new team. Randy Moss, Terrell Owens and Chad Johnson have either struggled of late or been out of football entirely, but they're all looking to recapture their talent this season. Christian Fauria thinks Moss will make the 49ers real contenders, but Skip Bayless isn't so sure -- he has Chad Johnson as his sleeper pick. What's your take?

On Tuesday, "First Take" debated Randy Moss's impact on the San Francisco 49ers. Stephen A. Smith thinks that taking a year off will pay dividends for the mercurial Moss, while Skip Bayless thinks even though it's a low-risk, high-reward move for San Francisco, he's still not expecting much from Moss. What's your take?

Some might argue that Randy Moss has been retired ever since he left the Patriots early last season (forgettable stints with the Vikings and Titans nonwithstanding) but today, he made it official. After 13 years, some interesting news conferences, a whole lot of touchdowns (he's tied for second on the all-time list with Terrell Owens), Moss is calling it quits. He leaves behind a mixed legacy, but for you, do his touchdowns trump his tantrums?

• Vote: Are Brandon Lloyd and Roddy White bigger surprises than Arian Foster?
• Vote: Would you start Randy Moss over Wes Welker or Vincent Jackson?

This Thanksgiving, it's important to be thankful for the little bits of good luck that one has experienced in the past year. For those of you who picked up Arian Foster with the average 47th pick in fantasy football, you should be very thankful indeed. The same goes with anyone who picked up Michael Vick with the average 200th pick or Peyton Hillis with the average "so low he was practically never picked" pick. Those of you who picked Randy Moss with the average 11th pick, on the other hand ... well, we feel for you. Take an extra slice of pumpkin pie. You look like you need it.

• "Chicago has the best pass defense in the league. Mike Vick will get his 20 points, but the Colts-Chargers Sunday night game is gonna be a shootout. So Id def bench Vick for a 4-TD, 300-yard game from Rivers and Manning." -- XthedeepakisherX

1. Would you rather have Randy Moss or Terrell Owens?

Randy Moss is heading to Tennessee to prove the third team is the charm this season. Meanwhile, a few hours to the northeast, Terrell Owens is quietly putting together a Pro Bowl season. Yes, we said quietly. Aside from the occasional tweet,, T.O. hasn't made waves with the Bengals, but do you trust him more than Moss?

• "We all know he's still got some juice, but it's running out fast and Revis and Cromartie were right about him being a slouch. To me, it seems like he's just an average receiver now ... getting old. I wish there was a fountain of youth ... bring back '98 Randy." -- SN commenter l33yang

• Rank: Where would a healthy Shawne Merriman rank among pass rushers?
• Vote: Would you have wanted your favorite team to pick up Merriman?

The speed at which a player in the National Football League can go from All-Star to waived is frankly astounding. A few years ago, LaDainian Tomlinson was setting records for rushing touchdowns -- this season, he had to search for a job before rejuvenating his career with the Jets. A few years back, Randy Moss was setting records for receiving touchdowns with the Patriots -- this season, he's found himself traded and waived within the space of a month.

It's Shawne Merriman's turn to tumble from his perch. A few years back, Merriman was one of the most feared pass-rushers in all of football. Now, he's been placed on waivers by the Chargers. The move comes as no real surprise -- San Diego had announced that they would release Merriman after he came off the injured reserve list -- but the idea of such a defensive force as Merriman having to look for a job is a bit disconcerting. We're sure some team will give him a chance -- and that team is the Buffalo Bills.

Do you think Merriman's lack of productivity is due to steroids? Ever since his suspension he hasn't been the same, but you never hear anyone mention it. If he were playing baseball that is all you would hear.

I've heard it discussed with Merriman. But the injuries have also deterred him. Of course, there are experts on PEDs who say that injuries are a byproduct of usage. However, Merriman has been tested frequently and randomly year-round since his steroid positive and he has tested clean. Full transcript

LeBron James returning to Cleveland. Brett Favre returning to Green Bay. Terrell Owens going pretty much anywhere he's set foot. Jayson Blair going back to The New York Times. That's basically the extent of the list of reunions that seemed less likely than Randy Moss going back to Minnesota before Tuesday evening. But a little more than five years after the Vikings traded Moss in the wake of a season in which he was fined for a pantomime mooning and walked off the field before a game against the Redskins was over, the receiver is reportedly returning to the Twin Cities.

A Packers fan who can't shake his affection for Brett Favre, SportsNation blogger tonyftucker notes pairing Moss and Favre would qualify as better late than never.

• "I am a Favre fan and would love to see him go out throwing to a player of Moss's caliber. Not to mention that this is the second time this deal would have been dangled in my face and taken away. The year Favre retired with the Green Bay Packers it had to do with Ted Thompson not pulling the trigger on a deal with the Oakland Raiders which would have only cost the Packers a forth-round pick.'" -- Check out tonyftucker's blog
