You just can't get good help for $10 million a year anymore...
It has to be a dollar for every one of our lakes.
No way that Randy Moss has even close to that many active brain cells!
Mis-read the headline. Thought it said "Vikings star fired for celebration." Thought that was a bit tough. The fine is too slack. A one game suspension plus a $50,000 fine would get his attention.
I really had to laugh when I heard one of the Vikings officials (GM? Owner? Jockstrap washer?) asked or demanded that Fox Sports not allow Joe Buck to call Vikes games anymore. What a maroon.
It was the owner. Fox Sports told him to forget about it.
LOL..........no kidding.....I had to put up with Terrell Owens in SF for many years. It's like a love hate relationship cause those guys are so good but then they turn around and make you look like the obnoxious immature brat kid from down the block
Oh, how the mighty have fallen! Who would have dared to fine Erik the Red for shaking his booty after ransacking some hapless village? People quaked in fear of Vikings before all this PC non-sense came along. But of course, Moss is no Erik the Red, either.
Way too harsh. Who hasn't wanted to give those loud mouth cheese eaters at Lambert filed the old BA
[Randy] Moss to be fined [$10K] for celebration

Randy Moss has been told he will be fined $10,000 for his end-zone celebration, a Vikings source told ESPN's Chris Mortenson on Thursday.
NFL officials would not confirm or deny the report.
Moss caught a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter of the Vikings' 31-17 win over the Packers on Sunday and headed toward the goalpost. He then turned his back to the Lambeau Field crowd, bent over and pantomimed pulling down his pants.
Moss didn't practice with the Vikings on Wednesday because of a sprained right ankle, but he's listed as probable for Sunday's playoff game at Philadelphia.
Sunday night, an NFL spokesman told ESPN's Chris Mortensen: "Randy Moss can expect to be hearing from us."

Okay. We'll put you in the "I'd kiss Randy Moss's butt" column.
That would be similar to us getting a $100 fine. Whoop-dee-do. Make it meaningful, cut his hair off.
It's not the 'moon', it's the act following the 'moon'.
Yeah, I know. Did a search first, then I found it right after I posted it. Sorry 'bout that.
Me.
Another example of: a guy who can catch-throw-hit a basket--
and, because someone can make money from that talent, he is exempt from rules and decency.
FROM Sports Illustrated:
The NBA is going to pot. But so are the NFL and Major League Baseball. Does a week go by nowadays without an athlete getting busted for marijuana possession? The list of tokin' offenders is too long to catalog here, but it cuts a wide swath, from Mets reliever Grant Roberts -- who was pictured smoking in a New York tabloid in September -- to Randy Moss, whose run-in with a traffic cop was compounded when marijuana was found in his Lexus.
From The Smoking Gun:
Meet Randy Moss. The 27-year-old Minnesota Vikings receiver was arrested yesterday (9/24) by Minneapolis police and charged with two misdemeanors. According to this arrest report, the mercurial football star drove his 2002 Lexus into traffic agent Amy Zaccardi after she ordered Moss to pull over (the athlete had just made an illegal turn). Moss, hit with careless driving and failure to obey a traffic officer charges, should have known that the bump and run is restricted to the gridiron.
Randy Moss is nothing but a jerk.
