``But, you know, I don't want any kids, you know, watching this taking a lesson from me as far as 'Well, Randy Moss used it so I'm going to use it.' I don't want that to get across. Like I say ... I have used (marijuana) in the past. And every blue moon or every once in a while I might.''

Then why open your mouth about it??

 

[Pete's Mom]

Dude .....

 

[CharlesTD]

Wow big deal he and Ricky Williams must be party buds off the field LOL.

 

[cardaway]

If I didn't despise Al Davis, and everything he stands for, I might feel sorry for the Raiders.

As it is, they are gettting exactly what they asked for. The team prides itself on taking in people like Moss.

 

[Minnesota!]

Didn't care for him while he was here (he hit a law enforcement officer on purpose with his car!!)...can't stand him now. Glad CA has him as a problem now rather than MN. BLECH.

Vikings are SOOOO much better w/o him!

Of course, but why be dumb enough to announce it?

 

[swanmom]

"And, you know, hopefully ... I won't get into any trouble by the NFL by saying that, you know.

Apparently, the pot hasn't affected his intelligence or common sense.

Exactly, he didnt need to tell us. Thats why he wasnt drafted as high as he should have been, his past issues with "Mary Jane"

Ok, there's a funny in there.

Hey, guess what - I've got another secret...

The Pope is Catholic

shhhh don't tell anyone!

Seriously, is ANYONE surprised by this

 

[WatchinCaptKangaroo]

Who is he and should I care that someone in the public eye is smoking pot? I think more people in the public eye should smoke pot. Then the government should make it legal (with the token restrictions much like alcohol) and tax the heck out of it.

Seeing as how Randy is from around here (he grew up in Rand, WV...'bout 20 miles from here) and I used to have season tickets next to his...well, not his "father-in-law, because he hasn't married the girl...but the grandfather of Randy's kids, put it that way...I know a bit about the Randy situation. In high school, he got into a fight and put a kid into the hospital. He was tried, convicted, and sentenced to something like a month in the county jail. That cost him his scholarship to Notre Dame.

He ended up at Florida State, but had to come home in his first summer there in order to serve his sentence. When he arrived, they did a drug test...and he flunked (positive for marijuana). That cost him his scholarship at Florida State.

Next he moved on to Marshall, who was Division 1AA at the time. While there, he pretty much alienated every WVU fan in the state (about 4/5ths of the population, in other words) and got in trouble more than once, including a domestic violence charge that was eventually dropped. That didn't cost him his ride at Marshall, 'cause they're just about as scummy as he is...he fit right in.

I should put in a caveat here that says that the guy I mentioned earlier - Randy's long-time girlfriend's father - has pretty much always supported Randy. Yes, even over the whole "domestic violence" thing (he says it was a mutual fight and Randy didn't really do anything, which is what his daughter has told him).

The really sad part is, Randy could be a real hero to kids in this depressed state. Instead, he's nothing but an embarrassment.

I don't really care about pot smoking. At all. I do care about men who beat women, frequent strip clubs, buy prostitutes and so forth. Pot-I could not care less. Someday, I might smoke pot again. I did it for a long time when I was younger. It wasn't hard to quit at all. It did not lead to any other drugs nor did the class of people I had as friends suffer. It probably did some damage to my lungs and killed some brain cells.

I agree, wvrevy! He could be a hero to all children. But an embarrassment he is to the NFL!!

I stopped liking him when he hit the Police Officer in MN (I believe they found pot in his car then, also). He is so class-less.

My thoughts exactly!

LOL! Actually, he probably WAS drafted "HIGH"! We'll miss his athleticism but not his "character" here with the Vikes.

 

[kejoda]

What athleticism Diane? he only played when he wanted to.

What a jerk. I am so glad he is gone.
