I think it's good that america knows that randy moss smokes weed. Maybe now it will become glaringly obvious that smoking weed does not by itself send a person down the path of reckless self destruction. Guess what everybody, randy moss can smoke weed occasionally and still perform as one of the greatest athletes of his generation. I agree that he probably will suffer some backlash from the league and various self righteous blow-hards in the media, but i also think it is amusing, and that perhaps moss might find it amusing as well. On the one hand you get the media reporting on moss everytime he takes a shit, and on the other you have the media complaining about how he's such a distraction. They're clearly either idiots or feigning idiocy as an attempt to pretend that they aren't the cause of moss' distractability. I would also question the intelligence of all the fans who buy into all this bullshit that is sold alongside football but is in reality fundamentally peripheral to the actual game of football.
If babe ruth were alive today all we'd hear about was how much of an alcoholic he is and how an entire generation of young baseball fans are going to be ruined, positively ruined, because he is such a poor role model.
