Randy Moss is retiring. Supposedly.  The word “retire” now encompasses a number of definitions: ending a career for good, or temporarily, or leveraging the work-stoppage for a better employment situation.

Anyway, shoe-in Hall of Famer Randy Moss is second all time, soon to be third, in receiving touchdowns with 153.  He’s tied with other shoe-in, Terrell Owens.  Controversy or not, Moss and Owens are two of the greatest receivers to ever play the game.  We’re talking top 5 and maybe even top 3.

Check out tight end Tony Gonzalez in 10th.

Here are the NFL‘s all-time leaders in receiving touchdowns.
