I'm a sports fan.
Not only do I like many team sports, but I've played many of them as well. I understand that games like baseball, hockey, and football are won by the team, and not by individuals like Randy Moss.
Of course there are many egotistical, infantile, prekindergarten players in many sports. But Randy Moss has just been added to my list of players that I will never, ever cheer for. In fact, I will forever cheer against him.
Dancing in the end-zone, and simulating a moon to the fans of Lambeau Field was just the icing on the cake for me. What really pissed me off about this moron was how he deserted his team on the field in Washington last week. Almost as bad was him trying to justify it on ESPN shortly thereafter. Sideways bashing his coach at the same time.
The guy has ZERO class.

a little info for ya chris.
Moss was imitating the exact thing Green Bay fans do in the back area by the buses to the losing team as they board their bus,.. turnabout is fair play.
Mike Tice is a garbage coach. He had a WINNING team, openly deserted them when he courted the University of washington to hire him as their new head coach, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEASON AS THE HEAD COACH OF A TEAM IN THE PLAYOFF HUNT. unheard of. there was a reason that the defensive coordinator, not the head coach got the gatorade shower. He deserted his team and his team is not under his control anymore, at least not in their minds.
as far as Randy goes, Randy will be Randy. The Vikings are having fun, they laid a whooping on a team, and the rest of the team is right there with him. Randy Moss is the most elite player in the game. nobody has an effect on a defense bigger than he does. he makes his QB better, he makes a sub average running back a 1000 yard rusher. he is a weapon unlike any other at his or any other position (other than maybe Quarterback) he is eccentric, crass, and pure west virginia, but his teammates love him. What doesnt make the news are the touchdown balls he signs for sick kids during the week, the food he passes out at homeless shelters, the hospitals an united way programs he visits on a regular basis, on his time.
This argument pisses me off.. there is no RESPECT for THE GAME. its a GAME, it is prostituted to the nth degree... outrageous and entertaining. these people are not role models for what they do on the field. And the announcers are just as bad, Joe Buck going off on randy moss..uhh arent you in those Budweiser commercials with "Leon" who is modeled after Randy Moss... hey ESPN.... Janet Jacksons boob is uncalled for, but you can show the series Playmakers which shows sex, violence, and drug use.
WE create a sport and a culture of violent unpredictable adrenalin driven emotion and wild eyed lunacy and then balk when someone does something we think is innapropriate.
Go on with your bad self Randy... they dont want you shooting the moon in the endzone, tell them to keep you out of it in the first place
nobody can guard you 1 on 1 anyway
and i still hate the vikings for not playing like this one week earlier.
