So, say, you're 18-0, and facing a team in the biggest game of your career, a Patriot wouldn't, say, invite said opponent to their premature victory parties, right? Nope, no room for ego in the Patriots locker room. Vox - Randy Moss has had his trouble, but most of it is pretty far removed from today. And there's a big difference between smoking weed and Pacman "making it rain" (bullets?) in a strip club. Yes, both are illegal and should be punished by the NFL. And dumb. But one's done in private, the other brings an element of danger to the public. There's a big degree of difference between Moss and Pacman. That said, he's far too young and talented to be out of the NFL for life. If he doesn't play in 2008, he'll play in 2009. I hope he goes somewhere that can figure things out for him; he's had a tough life, frankly, and could use some guidance to figure things out. onanygivensunday - leave your ego at the door?

You don't have to compare Randy Moss to a criminal. Randy Moss is a criminal in his own right. He was kicked out of Notre Dame for his involvement in a racially-motivated fight. He then went on to red-shirt at FSU, but after he reported to serve his 30 days in a work release program, he tested positive for marijuana, 60 days were added to his sentence and he was kicked out of his second school. At Marshall, he got into a fight with his girlfriend and charges were dropped after both agreed to attend counseling. In 2002, Moss refused a traffic officer's order to stop and bumped her down the road until she fell to the ground. A subsequent search of his vehicle turned up some marijuana.

Whether Adam Jones is innocent or guilty, there is a man paralyzed because this “Pacman” guy wanted to have fun that night. If Pacman wasn’t at that joint that night, that guy isn’t paralyzed today (but admittedly, I don’t know that guy’s current condition). Apparently Jerry Jones (and anyone else who wants this guy) can sleep at night. But money and winning lets you sleep well … I suppose.
