(yes, Reggie is watching. So keep your pants on)
No doubt fearful of an FCC fine, Fox’s Joe Buck went just a little over the top this evening, describing Randy Moss’ 4th quarter TD celebration as “disgusting….we’re sorry those images had to go out over live television.” Moss, merely feigned dropping his trousers to the Lambeau crowd. Had he actually done so, we can only assume that Buck (recently working as a Budweiser pitchman for the brewery’s classy “Leon” campaign) would’ve personally pulled the plug.
(Buck, shown here during his day off)
Following the Vikings’ win over the Pack, the Fox studio crew of James Brown (The Dullest Working Man In Show Business), Terry Bradshaw and Howie Long battled to see who could call Moss “classless” the most times. That’s the same Terry Bradshaw who has been playing the part of a leering moron (named Terry Bradshaw) on a series of Hooters TV and radio spots.
On ESPN’s NFL Primetime, they edited out Moss’ celebration, then tried to describe it without actually describing it.
i got the distinct impression from peter king’s column this morning that the nfl put the kibosh on the replay. but i’ve been known to totally misinterpret things lately so take that with a grain of salt. i wouldn’t put it past them though.
I thought the whole gang Terry, Jim, Howie… totally blew things out of proportion! How ridiculous! I’m appalled that they made such a huge deal out of it!
aside from FCC paranoia, I suspect there’s just a little bit of resentment that utter failure in what might’ve been Brett Favre’s final game was rubbed in by someone these commentators have so little respect for.
…just saw Mike Ditka and Michael Irvin howling about this non-issue. Da Coach said that Moss had “no class”. Yep, Randy should only hope he is someday classy enough to do commercials for penis pills. Irvin claimed that he’d been asked his sage advise back when the Cowboys considered drafting Moss, but now says he’s glad Randy never came to Dallas because “i would’ve had too much to clean up”. Since turning pro, Moss’s most embarrassing off-field incident involved bumping a traffic cop with his car ; he’s yet to show the kind of leadership skills that Irvin brought to America’s Team (ie. a felony conviction for cocaine possession).
I’m getting a little bored watching these paragons of virtue take aim at a pass-catching machine. OK, Moss is immature. But he’s probably Hall Of Fame-bound and seems to inspire a lot of jealousy from guys who no longer have jobs in football.

Tony Dungy was quoted as saying he found Randy Moss’ actions “Funny.” I wonder what he would have said about Moss if he had pantomimed rubbing his tuchas on Nicolette Sheridan.
Jon,
Dungy also said that in his experience as a Vikings assistant, Packer fans would sometimes surround the visiting team’s bus after a GB win and moon the opposition. If this is true (and I say this someone who is not a Vikes fan), Randy Moss ‘ stock just went WAY up in my estimation. Way to stick it to those cheesehead motherfuckers.
I think the display of Randy Moss was so—- out of line, wasn’t it enough for him ; that his tean won?
Wish these million dollar players would consider that young children are watching and have some admiration for the good players. He should be fined dearly!!!and put it towardneedy children funds. Not just Randy, but every player, including Plummer of Denver, which the Bronco’s are my home team, and have been my favorites. you note I said, have been, but if this is to continues; I know a lot of
football fan’s including myself will give up watching the players being such air heads!!!
lskipper,
The apostrophe has three uses:
1) to form possessives of nouns
2) to show the omission of letters
3) to indicate certain plurals of lowercase letters.
Apostrophes are NOT used for possessive pronouns or for noun plurals, including acronyms.
Anyhow, congrats to Randy Moss for showing his young fans how to stick it to those cheesehead motherfuckers.
stick it to those cheesehead motherfuckers.
put that on my tombstone.
Why do we assume the Packers are a dynasty when Farve is frequently inconsistent. Hat’s off to showing “any given Sunday” is true and hard work pays off. If you want class, go watch opera or ballet. Make no mistake about it, my blue collar ass wants to see competition and celebrations. Sorry you bet on the wrong team Joe… next time, do your job and stay objective! Stop whinning you racist!
Personally,I was hoping one of the Packers defensive players would bodyslam his sorry butt.
