The woman who claims that Pats receiver Randy Moss battered her has changed lawyers, dumping David McGill of Miami and hiring Darrell Thompson, who is based in California.

The move comes in the wake of allegations that McGill tried to extort money from Moss.

“It appears that her old quarterback was sacked, penalized and ejected,” said Richard Sharpstein, who represents Moss.  “We have to believe that the new quarterback is more sensible.’”

The hearing to convert the temporary restraining order against Moss to a permanent injunction has been moved to March 28, with a commitment that Moss will honor the TRO until then.
