To the Fox announcers and Randy Moss haters everywhere...

Yeah, where else would we learn how moral and righteous Jimmie Johnson, Terry Bradshaw and the rest of the crew are, from one of their 40 wives?

Oh, but Moss has a lot of class. It’s just all fourth class and not first class.

I like it too. I thought Moss’s move was funny, but I definitely prefer what Harrison does after he makes a good play: get ready to make another. It’s hard to do that when you’re bending over with your hands on your ass.

There is a place for celebration in sports, I think, but after every single goddamn good play (touchdown or otherwise)? You’d think it was the first and last of folks’ careers.

[sub]Still think it was hilarious, but I’d rather have seen him act like it was nothing new.[/sub]

Thing is. . .it wasn’t hilarious.

What Joe Horn did was a little funny. Some of the stuff TO did was a little funny. Maybe unnecessary, but at least a somewhat thought out and humorous. Standing on the Star in Dallas is needling without being classless.

Moss just faked a moon. That’s not funny. It’s just classless. . .fakin’ stickin’ your ass out at people. Big deal. You know they’re pissed off at the TD, that the game is over. You can, at that point, do an obnoxious celebration without wiping your shit-ass on their goalpost, can’t you?

Think about the delicate women in Lambeau. Look, I love mooning people as much as the next guy, but I save it for my moronic male friends. . .I even feel a little embarassed if their wives get caught in the crossfire.

Although, now that I think about it, I’d bet that most of the women in Green Bay are more manly than my friends.

NFL is going to have to go to college rules concerning celebration if this stuff keeps up.

Real nice impression you made on the kids & family that you mentioned in the pre-game interview Randy. Do you want them to grow up and emulate you? What will become of them if they go thru life like that? You better hope they’re as good, or better than you in sports. Who’s going to teach them respect? Their mother hopefully. Enjoy your skills, because when they go, you’ll be gone too. You can do anything you want now. Squirt water at a ref? No problem, he’ll score next week so we’ll slap his wrist. Skips tutoring class with Elza, not a real problem, we need him to make it to the bowl game. ‘Bump’ a parking meter person? His foot must have slipped off the brake, and don’t be late for practice. Walking off the field, he’s just Randy being Randy-we need him next week. Mooning the people in GB, partially paying your salary dumbass-it was all in fun, and how can they beat Philly without him. The ‘Randy Ratio’, yea, help me out here. Does the “I” in “team” come at the beginning, the middle or at the end??

Thanks to Culpepper, Minne’s on the rise, and a Favre-less GB will be lucky to finish 3rd next year (thank you Bears!). Enjoy your skills and fortune and fame now. There’s a market for it right now, and people will put up with almost anything and anybody to win–even you. When those skills leave you, and they will, you’ll be gone. Yesterdays hero usually takes a fall. I await that day with growing enthusiasm. Then lets see what kind of a human being and father you will be to your family. If i was a betting man, i’d bet you drop the ball. I’ve seen it so many times before.

to steal a phrase from another Doper, suck my pasty-white man-tits Randy.

To you. It was to me. I understand other folks not being amused, but kindly don’t tell me that my reaction is null:)

Well, they already have penalties for group celebrations, yes? This would be the logical next step, and funny though I thought Moss’s celebration was I can’t say that I’ll miss celebrations after every bloody score.

On the other hand, Randy Moss’s hairdo is a very respectful salute to black cartoonist Aaron McGruder (Boondocks.) His hair is trimmed to look exactly like Huey Freeman’s. :smiley:

I just heard something on a local sports talk radio station that gives Randy’s actions a little context. Apparently there is some sort of tradition at Lambeau of fans mooning the Vikings bus outside the stadium if the Packers have beaten the Vikings. So Randy was just giving it back. The guys on the radio were citing Tony Dungy as giving this explanation (Dungy was a Defensive Coordinator for the Vikings before he became a head coach).

And again a common denominator is reduced to it’s lowest form.

You’re kidding right? Since when is the NFL family friendly entertainment? It’s a violent game. The advertisements are primarily chicks with big tits hawking beer and trucks. And have you ever been to a game? The behaviour in the stands makes makes Randy Moss look like Miss Manners.

Get a clue.

It made me laugh. I don’ buy into the “classless atheletes, it’s the end of this sacred sport as we knowi it” mentality. don’t put these clowns up on a pedistal and then you won’t be so disapointed when they act like assholes. And the “but what about the kids?” crowd? Parents can teach their kids what is appropriate and what isn’t that they see on TV. If they can’t do that, we have bigger problems to worry about than a pretend bare ass on TV.
Oh, and I just want to add that you NFC fans are so cute. Little rivalries, you dislike each other. Awww. you guys can have your fun. However, you need to get ready to let the big boys come out and play once they’re ready. (Fill in the blank here out of StL, Atl, PHI, or MIN) ________ , Prepare to get violated, prison-style, in the superbowl – doesn’t matter whether it’s PIT, NE or Indy. :slight_smile:

What about when the Jets make their stunning run through the playoffs and sweep aside the debris of the rest of the AFC? Awwyeah, J-e-t-s JETS JETS JETS.

I don’t put them on a pedestal. I expect everyone to show class. And I’m disappointed when anyone acts like an asshole.

The fans don’t pay their salaries, the television networks do.

What bothered me about this whole thing was that it was corny. OTOH, If the other teams don’t want Randy Moss or TO celebrating, don’t let them in the endzone.

Really? wow.
I couldn’t live like that. I’d be disappointed all the time.

Does Moss represent any clothing/sneaker/etc companies?

The folks at Charmin might want to give him a call.

Wow, what kind of people do you hang out with? The majority of the people I run across on a day to day basis are rarely assholes. It isn’t hard. Courtesy, respect. Most people have been taught these concepts. Most even practice them.

Here’s a wish for you to encounter a better class of people in the new year.

This seems like it should go without saying, but I guess not: The people I choose to hang out with are a very small subset of the people I see on TV, read about in the news, and encounter in everyday life.
>>The majority of the people I run across
>>on a day to day basis are rarely assholes.
Same goes for me. But if you watch or read any news, read much in the pit, watch any sports, hang out much in public, Ever go out to eat, go shopping, go to a movie, you know, general living…At least a couple times a day, whether or not I know the person, I think “what an asshole!” about someone. I just can’t imagine being disappointed every time that happened.

Trying to “creatively” outdo your previous little celebration schtick eventually makes one become a tired old sideshow that only first-time tourists pay to see. Obviously, Randy has already peaked for you as well as me.

Randy is too stupid to figure out that people pay to see his great catches, not his anti-climatic teenage antics. No awesome touchdown reception is too tiresome to see…can’t say the same about his laboring antics.
