A Rolling Moss Gets Stoned

Really, I hate most athletes. They are such jerks. Shaq always gets me annoyed. And of course, there’s T.O. being a complete jagoff. But here’s another bonehead move of the week—which Ken Brenner from D.C., the Channel 9 sports guy, used to have a segment for—it was called The Weenie of the Week.

This week, it’s Randy Moss for going on HBO and proclaiming that he has used marijuana while being in the NFL and that he would probably do it again.

Then afterwards he tried to recant by saying “A lot of people are jumping to conclusions because they really don’t know the real story or haven’t even heard the real story yet,” he said. “That was really me talking in the past tense of way back in the beginning of my career and my childhood _ especially in high school and college.”

Somebody should teach Randy how the function of tense works in our language. That if you are talked about the past, you should refer to it in the past and not in the present or the future.

Also from the Post:

Moss’s agent, Dante DiTrapano, said HBO was trying to intentionally damage the player’s reputation. He also said Moss was talking about past use.

“In an attempt to promote their dying network, they have maliciously couched his remarks in a manner that is confusing and leaves room for negative interpretation,” DiTrapano told The Associated Press. “Randy is not in the NFL substance abuse program and has complied with all urinalysis required by the league, the team, insurance companies, endorsers, etc.”

I underlined a portion there.

THEIR DYING NETWORK? HBO? The network with the Sopranos? Six Feet Under? Larry David? This is a dying network?

I think Randy and Dante must smoke up together.
