Chump change for a chump!
Dare him to do it in Philly.
Randy Moss made me an instant Eagles fan--and I *hate* the Eagles.
Pocket change.
How much are they fining him for the hair?
I heard that when the opposing team loses at that stadium a crowd gathers as their bus is leaving and moons them- Maybe Moss experienced this and was giving it back to them.
This sheds a little different light on the story if true, and answers why he would think of doing such a gesture.
I guess Moss gets the last laugh here. Not only is his contract too huge to feel a tiny sanction like that, but his team won the game. He was tasteless, but I guess that's just sports.
He's a F'n punk hiding his punkassness behind the color of his skin! What a total and complete disgrace to all.
He's sticking with the Green Bay tradition, though.
What's this all about? I don't follow baseball. [grin]
A meaningless gesture by the NFL.
The fans deserved what he gave em.
Paul Harvey said the other day that President Bush's reaction to Randy Moss' "mooning" incident was to appoint him ambassador to France.
Moss is indeed a punk. I suppose that I'm hopelessly old school and think such antics embarass your team. And back in those olden days, your teammates would let you know you were out of line forcefully.
Contrast him to Ben Roethlisberger who, without a lot of fuss, signed over his playoff paycheck to tsunami relief.

You can take the punk out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the punk. No big deal, I'm getting used to physically talented bums making our youth think it's cool to be crass. That hair, by the way, is laughable.
Coach Dungy said he has seen the Packer fans do it personally on a number of occasions and assumed that Moss and the Vikings have also been mooned on their past walks of shame and in a moment of glory, Moss was returning the favor.
So what gives? Who's filtering your news?....
I think his moon thingy was not as bad as everyone made it out to be. I have seen worse.
I never thought I would see a funnier hair style than Don King's, but Moss managed to do it.
From Sid Hartman's column in the Minneapolis Star Tribune: It is a letter sent to Moss by someone at St. Joseph's Home for Children, a Minneapolis charity to which Moss has been a great benefactor.
It was titled "That Is Who You Are," and read:
"Lately you have been analyzed, criticized and demonized by people who haven't got a clue about the real you. I do not understand it.
"With people dying daily in Iraq and whole families lost due to the recent tsunami, there are more important things to talk about than two seconds at the end of a football game or some harmless fun in the end zone.
"Sport analysts and your critics need to get a grip and lose their sense of righteous indignation. Many of them do not speak from perfection, balance or fairness. They should be thanking you for giving them the gift of something to talk about. And while talking about and writing about you makes for great radio, great television ratings and newspaper profit, trashing you doesn't feed a homeless family or comfort a frightened child.
"You know how to do this. You are making a positive difference in the lives of others. You do not take credit or publicize your charitable efforts. Never forget, Randy, that your private kindness to others is the measure of who you really are. Always remember your family, team, those you care about, your own personal belief in you, and in a higher power, are the elements of life that are the most important.
"I hope that you will continue to stay true to you and you will keep on 'keeping it real.'
"Continue to love the game and your team. Play with passion. Pound the Eagles and please know that there are thousands of us who support you."
