Moss' Moon

I love being lectured about morality and class from the network that's running "Your Mother Was a Whore" or "Who's Your Daddy" or whatever they're calling it. And have we forgotten "The Littlest Groom," which exploited dwarfs for ratings?

Randy Moss is a lightening rod. I'm guessing that hairdo doesn't go over well in the Red States. Me? I like 'fros better when they're bigger. The media should be thanking Randy because if he hadn't mimed that moon they would have had to ignore his playing through obvious pain and still making a game-deciding play. Had Favre done something remotely similar they would have stopped the game for a Purple Heart ceremony. (Speaking of Favre, it's a good thing none of those interceptions were his fault otherwise we might have to question that legend that's crammed down our throats.)

Now people are calling for Moss to be suspended and saying he hurts the team? No guy that good hurts any team. And what was the big deal? I laughed and so did my wife and kids. I don't think this is the decline of civilzation here. It was juvenile, admittedly, but that's what made it funny (to me anyway). I think we'd be better off as a nation if we expressed our outrage over wrongs that really matter and that have real human consequences, rather than trivia like this.

(Update: According to Tony Dungy, among others, the Packers fans are renowned for mooning the opposing team bus after Packer wins. Dungy says he's personally seen it a half dozen times. And they do it for real, not a mere simulation. Now I'm even more in Moss' corner. Don't dish it out if you can't take it. And the media should chastize the Packers fans and describe their conduct the same way, too. Just to be consistent. Me? I think think this is harmless stuff all around.) END.
