I just don't care.
He smokes pot. As long as he's not doing it on the field, I couldn't care less. To me, he's a man to be admired on the field. As long as he keeps his shit together on the grid iron, I don't give a flying fart what he does in his 'free' time.
Let me tell you something, filtherton is right on the money on this one. I think smart kids and smart fans of the game realize that it is the athlete's actions on the field and not all the shit that happens away from the game that is important. I mean, emulate the man's desire, his drive to play hard and his determination to win, not the money, not the power and certainly not the antics away from the game.
It's just some more "story that isn't really a story" shit from the hypocritcal and self-righteous sports media blowhards that delight in writing stuff like this. I find it a bit ironic that despite all the media attention this guy gets, despite all the soap-opera shit we all heard about surrounding his departure from Minnesota, despite all the prophecy from those sportswriters in the know about how outrageous Randy Moss would be in a Raider uniform, despite all the speculation that Moss was going to bring his poison from Minnesota to sunny California there's been nothing...nothing coming from the Raider Nation but good things. He seems to be fitting in just fine and doing a helluva job according to his new teammates.
If the NFL want to punish the guy, punish him for the crime when he gets caught, don't hang him on some off the cuff remark made to a reporter. As far as I'm concerned, he seems to be doing his job, so, I don't care too much what he does when he's not in uniform. To be perfectly honest, I applaud his honesty. At least he didn't lie about it and prove himself the hypocrite unlike some other sports figures we've heard about lately...*cough Palmiero cough*
