Up next a battle of two controversial athletes: Randy Moss and Curt Schilling. Lets see what makes each of these athletes "now."
Curt Schilling:
1993 National League Championship Series Most Valuable Player (MVP)
1996 Lou Gehrig award from Phi Delta Theta
1996 March of Dimes Phillie of the Year award
1997 Sets National League record for strikeouts by a right-handed pitcher with 319
1997-99, 2001-02 Named to National League All-Star Team
2000 Philadelphia Sports Writers Association Humanitarian Award
2001 Shares World Series MVP honors with teammate Randy Johnson
2001-02 Cy Young Award runner-up
Has an ALS Charity
2004- leads Red Sox to the World Series (with a bloody sock)
Believes Barry Bonds take steroids
has his own blog called 38 pitches
Randy Moss:
Patriots Newest Wide Reciever
Rookie record 17 TD catches
He is third only to Anquan Boldin and Bill Groman for most rookie receiving yards with 1,313.
Moss has caught 101 TD passes through 9 seasons, 5th most in NFL history. He trails Jerry Rice, Cris Carter, Marvin Harrison, Terrell Owens, all of whom have played more seasons than Moss.
Has caught 13 or more TDs in a season 4 times. He trails only Terrell Owens and Jerry Rice in such seasons.
Is the only player next to Jerry Rice to catch 17 or more TDs in a season twice (Moss accomplished the feat in 1998 and 2003).
Moss has had 3 seasons where he averaged at least one receiving TD a game. 1998 (17 TDs in 16 games), 2003 (17 TDs in 16 games), and 2004 (13 TDs in 13 games). By doing so, he is the only wide receiver in NFL history to accomplish this task.
He had back to back 100 catch seasons, first in 2002 and then in 2003. He joined Sterling Sharpe, Jerry Rice, Herman Moore, Cris Carter, Marvin Harrison, and Rod Smith as the only receivers to do so.
At the end of the 2006 season, Moss is averaging approximately 11.2 receiving TDs per season, which is an NFL record.
Holds the record for most 1,000 yard seasons in his first seasons of the league. In his first 6 seasons in the NFL, he had 1,000+ yards in each seasons, setting an NFL record.
Moss is the only player in NFL history to average 100 yards and 1 TD per game through a 16 NFL game season.
Has some attitude problems that will hopefully be taken care of by the New England Patriots organization
Gives a real deep threat for Tom Brady to throw to
Is a pretty good dancer
Fred Biletnikoff Award (1997)
NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year (1998)
Five time Pro Bowler

Yeah I went with Schilling on this one guys... It's simple integrity and heart verses tomfollery and a lazy additude... Schilling proved to us in 2004 that he has the heart and integrity, while Moss has yet to prove himself worthy of wearing the Pats jersey... don't get me wrong I think Moss is unbelievable good and will do more good than bad for the Pats, but he is still unproven and that's why Schilling is more "now" in my book...
