I love Randy Moss. 🆒

In case anybody’s wondering what he said he might shake next time, he said “dick.”

God, the sports media is pathetic.

\*\*\* Star implies he won’t stop at pretend moon\*\*\*

Yeah, that’s what he did. He implied it. He’s the fucking Zodiac killer, giving vague hints as to the nature of his next atrocity. Either that, or some dumbass asked him a stupid question designed to get him to say “I don’t give a fuck” on camera, and he responded just like they knew he would. Jesus, Moss is pretty childish, but you’ve got a choice here: you can be outraged and indignant about what he does, or you can keep playing cute little games with him so you have something to put on the front page. But when you ask him if the man is getting him down, then run to the presses with a breathless “Moss showed no remorse for his latest misdeed,” you’re not fooling anybody.

The worst part is, there’s like a 50/50 chance he’s going to get loose and score three times this weekend, and then it’s going to piss me off. Damn it.

That was easy. What I did have to correct was having first made his dick pink.

I’m sure the NFL will love to hear that. Wonder what the next fine will be if $10k means shit. I guess it’s better he flippantly give it up as a fine than use it for some charity work.

What a fucking moron.

The fines go to charity anyway. I heard on the local sports talk station today that Moss’s fine is going tsunami victims.  
Moss actually does a lot of charity stuff, by the way.

Damn, who was it that argued a bad call, got fined and wrote in the ‘memo’ section of his fine check, “Donation to the blind”?

That was never a question. Bitchslapping the Bills was the sole dominion of the NFC East. The 49ers always seemed to play second-rate franchises like the Bungles and Chargers.

Another INT or two and will you Vikes fans be calling for Culpuppy to retire as you did with Favre?

I’m an Eagles fan, so I don’t have much love for either, but Culpepper was rock solid today. The post-2000 Favre would’ve coughed it up half a dozen times if he was out there.

3 sacks, 2 INTs is now considered rock-solid? You’ve been an Eagles fan for too long my friend. 😛

Go Steelers. (And Falcons next week)

Rock solid, no.  
But he did make some plays that were pluses, but not enough to overcome the Eagles D on this day.

How many plays did Brett make today?

Enough to win the Division. Again.

It’s become downright comical how in the last few years when a Packer fan asked a Vike fan whom they were playing that week in the playoffs, the Vike fan would wait a week or two and start talking shit.

Now that the roles are reversed, look what happens. :rolleyes:

20 years from now, the stats will show Green Bay as the Division winner, with a mere footnote about the Vikes winning the wild-card game. 😛

I didn’t say he was good. He just didn’t panic and fling the ball up for grabs repeatedly, which means he beats your guy.

It could very well be remembered as Brett Favre’s last game…a game in which he threw 4 picks and lost to an 8-8 team…a game in which an opposing wide receiver wiped his ass on your goal post…a game for the ages.

anyone remember Montana’s last game? Aikman’s? Marino’s? I didn’t think so.  
I’m sure a few of you here will remember this, the vast majority of the sane world will remember his 3 straight mvp’s and Super Bowl ring among other things.

The best 4 teams are left, it should be a good sunday next week. I’ll go with Philly over NE-27-24.

Marino got yanked in his last game; it was that blowout in the playoffs against the Jags, when they got embarrassed. I think the final score was like 63-17. Aikman wasn’t even that good, and I remember that his last play was getting smashed by Lavar Arrington and wobbling off the field. Montana threw for 300 yards and lost to somebody in the first round of the playoffs – Miami or Buffalo, I think. It’s not like they don’t make a big deal out of it when these guys retire; why wouldn’t people remember? I must have seen the clip of Aikman getting helped off the field thirty times that offseason.
