Allow me to fill in the blanks...... Public service should come with some responsibilty. I am sick to death of gangsters like Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Gary Condit, Tom Daschle, and Al Gore dominating the news and being rewarded for it. The voters have to say enough is enough and blacklist these idiots so they will continue to lose political support.

Me thinks we have bigger fish to fry.

He pushed her with his car till she fell down

No, she jumped on top of Moss' car and fell off when he proceeded forward at less than 5MPH according to witnesses.

Under what procedure would a control officer of any shape or form be allowed to act in this fashion. Especially one whose only authority is to take down numbers and call them in.

This woman's a nut job.

Neighbor's I saw on the news last night, stated that Moss was always very courteous while driving in the area. Its full of children, and he always took the time to wave and show them the utmost care and concern.

Vikzilla, I see your point but Moss was way out of line here. If you tried to make an illegal turn and a traffic officer stopped you, would you continue to drive even if she stayed in your way and even jumped on your car? Do you have MJ cigarettes in your car without your knowledge? Do you make moronic statements like "They have to discipline me, I don't know why"? Maybe Moss drives carefully through his neighborhood but in this case he clearly did not.

Moss has tremendous talent but is a head case and unless he gets some guidance or learns self-control his career will always be less than it could be. Judging by this case he still has the attitude that everything bad that happens to him is someone else's fault - he had the chance to stand up like a man and take responsibility and blew it.

Moss is a prima donna and a class A jerk.He got 16 yards on 4 catches Sunday.Troy Brown,a perennial team player and a gentleman had 16 catches the same day.Moss is just like Terry Glenn,a legend in his own mind.

[cinFLA]

Why isn't he being charged with assault with a deadly weapon?

I assume that is a rhetorical question.

[vikzilla]

I see your point but Moss was way out of line here

I agree he was way out of line. He is charged and will plead guilty to careless driving, etc. Let's see, thats worse than speeding but not as bad as reckless driving

He was not charged for possesion. Why? Possesion in MN is more than 1.4 grams of pot. (28.2 Grams = OZ)Your avg. joint is a gram. Therefore, MN has determined that having this much weed on you is less important than speeding in your car.

So why deny it? If it is not a criminal act, why wouldn't you? It's not going to do himself, the NFL, the cops, or anyone any good.

Well, maybe the ambulance chasing civil lawyer representing this woman.

[vikzilla]

I don't think this type of behavior would be tolerated by the Denver Bronco or SF 49er organizations, to name two.

Who did Romanowski play for when he was using, and illegally procurring prescription drugs?

[FatherTorque]

Because witnesses at the scene reported that it was clear that he wasn't trying to hurt someone. Therefore no felony charges are warranted.

Brrrrrrttttt, wrong answer.  Moss got off with what he did, because he can afford a high priced lawyer and could get this thing tied up in the courts forever and cost the city lots of money.  Which is the same reason he didn't get charged with the weed.

If it had been me or you, we'd still be cooling our heels in the lockup. 

There is justice in this country, as long as you can afford it.

[vikzilla]

I can't imagine a single team willing to take a chance on Moss at this point,

Yeah, your right. I'm sure Ray Lewis is in the same boat.

AHAHAHAH

[vikzilla]

There is justice in this country, as long as you can afford it.

I agree completely. I was refering to what I heard Minneapolis police spoken refer to as the reason.

The high dollar lawyer excuse doesn't hold water when these facts meet the light of the day.

[Pahuanui]

To equate any of this with Rape or Tysons' misogynist actions is utter nonsense.

The only nonsense here is you implying that I consider equitable the degree to which they tend to act.

I already said the comparable area was the stabilizing presence of a more experienced, mature figure.

Duh.

[Charles Henrickson]

National Felons League.

[vikzilla]

I already said the comparable area was the stabilizing presence of a more experienced, mature figure

I stated earlier, that if you were a fan, you would know that Carter was the problem with the Vikings and Moss over the last few years.

A stabilizing presence/mature figure was a new age clap trap invention from the media.

[aruanan]

Moss's encounter with the traffic officer was an example of what happens when insufferable arrogance meets irremediable stupidity.

[HelgaHawk]

I agree with you 100%.

[GSWarrior]

That's why he's a Raider.

[river rat]

Hey owners! Get a clue! Insert the following clause into all contracts for these stupid bastards:

We'in payen you big bucks.
We'in be needen many fans buyen tikets to get the bread to be a payen you.
If'in you do anything that draws heat or bad press - each one of those dumb shit events will be acosting you $500,000 on the 1st such event -- going up an additional $500,000 on each additional screwup.

Semper Fi

[vikzilla]

OK, they didn't know. They did know about Dale Carter though. Good Luck this season.
