I had very little problem with what he did on Sunday...no big deal IMO.

BUT

His reaction to the leagues disciplining of him just shows you how much disrespect he has for the game and moreso for the fans of the game.



KARE-TV of Minneapolis recorded the exchange between Moss and reporters outside the Vikings' practice facility.

Reporter: "Write the check yet, Randy?"


Moss: "When you're rich you don't write checks."


Reporter: "If you don't write checks, how do you pay these guys?"


Moss: "Straight cash, homey."

“ Ain't nothing but 10 grand. What's 10 grand, to me? ”
— Randy Moss



Minnesota's controversial wide receiver was fined $10,000 Thursday by the NFL for pretending to pull down his pants and moon the Green Bay crowd during a playoff win last weekend.



"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.

Moss: "Straight cash, homey."


Reporter: "Randy, are you upset about the fine?"


Moss: "No, cause it ain't [expletive]. Ain't nothing but 10 grand. What's 10 grand to me? Ain't [expletive] … Next time I might shake my [expletive]."


Whats 10 G's to the fans that save their earnings to come watch you play Randy? Maybe that's a bigger question.


You know, if this was almost anyone else in the league...this wouldnt be a big deal.
But this coming from a guy who in consecutive games walked out on his team before the game was over, and then pulled the stunt in GB last week, to say this kind of crap??

What a complete and utter buffoon. Too bad to....he should be known as one of the best to ever play the position but his off/on field antics combined with his attitude will never ever allow that.

Seems like a train wreck waiting to happen.

Personally I find it hilarious. He knows the media just hangs off his every word and he really doesn't care at all.
Next time I'll just shake my dick....hilarious.

He might want to be careful this weekend. We're not talking Lambeau Field this weekend friends, this is Philadelphia, home of the fans that come to scrap (ie Tie Domi) and boo even Santa Claus himself. He waves his di*k in Philly and some crazy bit*h is likely to cut it off.

The whole and entire reason I stopped cheering for the Viks is Randy Moss. It's time for him to grow up.

you heard me right....HILARIOUS!
I'm not ignoring the fact he's probably arrogant and immature. And I'm not sticking up for him, I find it's humerous purley from an entertainment value standpoint.

I like the Chad Johnson's, Joe Horn's, TO's antics after touchdowns. Shows that they are having fun. Especially on a touchdown that ices the game or gives them the lead.

All I see him as being is a phenominal football player who's really quite immature for his age. I don't see his actions as "disgusting", "degradable" and all other descriptive words used by the media.

Way to blow things out of proportion Joe Buck....Mike Ditka....Chris Berman...the list goes on.

Fine he's a loser and has no class and all that sort of thing but hey, it was funny. Did you happen to see it? He's hopping in his pimpmobile and he just said it like a joke. It wasn't menacing or anything, just a wisecrack. It was funny.

I know I know, he's a role model and kids don't need to see that kind of thing and it's a symptom of this and that but it made me laugh.

I've never cheered for the Vikings and I don't even watch the NFL.

Favre's just showing his love for the game by cleaning out the players eye.
C'mon now.....

The whole reason why i think this whole situation is just hilarious is because Randy Moss just did what Packer fans usually do to them.

After home wins in Green Bay, Packer fans head out and moon the visiting teams bus as they are leaving. I think it is just hilarious that he did it back.

Athletes shouldn't emulate fans. Take the higher road.

was this celebration considered worse than T.O. mocking Ray Lewis? Or how about T.O. mocking the Dallas Cowboys over and over again by standing on their star? To me, celebrating on the road, no matter what it is, could be considered disrespectful, doesn't matter fake mooning or the electric slide, they're all done for the same reason, rubbing it in.

I spent the week in Chicago and you would have thought that Moss had murdered someone the way they were talking down there. Every night ESPN would lead off with what he did and how disrespecful he was and blah blah blah. Tom Jackson won't even talk about it anymore because he said he is "disgusted" by his actions and think that Moss needs to start acting like a team leader. At least Tony Dungy thought it was funny.
