Moss' Full Moon

Amazing. Immature. Idiotic. You can use whatever adjective you deem appropriate for Randy Moss making Packer fans the butt of his joke after his second touchdown catch against Green Bay on Sunday. One that certainly fits is unique.

For anyone who missed it, Moss caught a long touchdown pass, then pretended to drop his proverbial drawers and moon the Green Bay faithful. Then he rubbed his butt against the field goal posts in a manner that can only be described as inappropriate.

It remains to be seen what the media will do with Moss' latest episode. They may blow it into a big story, like last week when he left the field with two seconds remaining on the clock. Or they may let it fly, chalking it up to "Randy being Randy." In this case, I prefer the latter.

Everyone knows Randy Moss has done some stupid things. Leaving the field early and saying he plays when he wants to play are stupid. Everyone knows he does illegal things. Running over traffic cops and smoking pot fall in that category. But pretending to moon the crowd belongs in a category of its own. I call it the "Clueless Category."

Although there are times when Randy can be a mean person, mooning the crowd is almost a redeeming quality. It shows an innocence you would expect to see from a thirteen-year old. Moss didn't flip the bird like Brian Cox and Jake Plummer, he didn't insult them by standing on their logo at mid-field and raise his arms like Terrell Owens. No, Moss pretended to moon the crowd. He pretended to show the crowd his butt. I can't think of a way to say it that sounds more serious, mature and controversial. Randy pseudo-mooned the fans at Lambeau Field. It may be insulting and inappropriate, but more than anything else it's just plain funny.
