Just because your campaign to get Moss selected as MVP blew up in your face, doesn't mean you can make the thug into a choirboy. There is a Cowboy Junkies song that sums it up best:
A man in a crisis falls back on what he knows best:
A murderer to murder; a thief to theft.
Moss is just falling back on what he knows best: getting physical when he can't get his own way. Too bad there isn't a replay available, I'm sure it would show that Moss was just pushing off, as usual. Bad actors generally find the worst possible time to screw up and Moss is no exception. I am really surprised that he was able to keep his inner punk in check for this long. As I said in my blog last week, the Pats wannabe the new Raiders, and Randy wants to be the poster boy.
I have been a huge sports fan since my Dad kept me out of school for the Detroit Tiger`s opening day at Brigg`s Stadium in 1958. I believe athletes are role models and that the American dream can be realized by practicing the principles of good sportsmanship : fair play, respect, and personal responsiblity . I believe Wilt Chamberlain, Jack Nicklaus Ted Williams and Peyton Manning were the best representativ es of their sports. I believe that simply having superb physical talents doesn`t entitle an athlete to ignore the rules followed by the rest of American society. I guess I am a Cro-magnon in this era of policital correctness and I will speak out for the traditional values that have made America great wherever I can.
