Randy Moss reacts to "mooning" fine (NFL pompous player alert)
St. Paul Pioneer Press | January 14, 2005 | From The Deer Stand

Posted on 01/14/2005 5:32:11 AM PST by From The Deer Stand

Minnesota Viking Randy Moss reacted to the $10,000 fine imposed by the NFL for his simulated mooning incident during their game with the Green Bay Packers last Sunday. Moss was quoted as saying, "It ain't nothing but 10 grand. What's 10 grand to me?" When asked Thursday if Moss had written the check yet, Moss responded, "When you're rich you don't write checks." When asked how he would pay the fine, Moss replied, "Straight cash, homey." Dante DiTrapana, Moss's agent, said he would appeal the fine. The $10,000 is a small penalty against Moss's $5.75 million salary this season.

What can you say? When he's right, he's right.

Is anyone the least surprised by this aftermath?

I saw the interview. It was actually more like, "It ain't nothing but #*&&#!@ 10 *&##$ grand. What's #*&&#!@ 10 *&##$ grand to me?"

Why I refuse to watch or patronize professional sports. Attitudes and overpaid whiners.

Break his legs and he is nothing but a thug on the streets peddling cockroaches.

Not only that but he suggested that "next time maybe I'll shake my ####."

If the fine was 1 million dollars he would be singing a different toon :-)

They seemed to forget to post the entire comment.

Ain't nothing but 10 grand. What's 10 grand, to me?" said Moss, whose salary this season is $5.75 million. He then jokingly suggested he might perform a more vulgar celebration next time.

One of the things I found out, and this hasn't been widely reported, is that Green Bay fans regularly line up and moon the team busses when they are leaving after a loss.

It was mentioned by Tony Dungy during a radio show and confirmed by Mike Tice.

That's 0.17% of his salary or the equivalent of fining a working stiff about half a day's pay.

In my 51 years, I've seen enough of the degradation of athletic behavior that it doesn't suprise me anymore. I also didn't find myself particularly offended by what he did. It was just kind of stupid like so many of them. Moss has an undesirable combination of impulsivity, narcissism, and lower intellectual functioning that makes him particularly unlikable however.

And how did you "find this out"?

I happen to know people who attend Green Bay games, btw, so careful with your sourcing.

I was an absolute sports junkie in my younger days, I've pretty much weaned myself from professional sports viewing.

It started with the NBA. Where are the players that a young boy can look up to? I can't think of a single player I'd invite into my home.

Then it was baseball. The "records" that have been broken need to be removed from the books. Barry Bonds can hit all the home runs he wants, but his records will be meaningless to me. BALCO... Bonds can run, but he can't hide. Don't think McGuire was involved with BALCO, but I'm convinced he was doped up.

I haven't even bothered to watch any pro football this year. It's a "scandal" a week, judging from the post on FR. If I want that, I'll check into Jerry Springer.

I'll stick with the college games, but they'll be just as bad before long.

He said he might wiggle something MORE shocking this weekend! LOL

A frontal wiggle.

Agreed. I was a baseball junkie in my youth and listened to games on the RADIO and kept track of my team via homemade programs and BINDERIZED them! Until the first baseball strike in 75 away. After that, when I saw it was all about money, screw em!

I heard that, too, and can't help but think that the real mooners are probably enjoying this more than anyone else.

And the gratuitous "careful with your sourcing" comment, give me a break. What are you going to do about it if I tell you that the best friend of my second cousin by marriage heard it from her hairdresser?
