How to Win Enemies and Alienate People, by Randy Moss

Dear Philadelphia fans,

You have a reputation, sometimes deserved, sometimes not, for being the biggest bunch of jerks in the country. You're always hard on opposing teams, and sometimes you're hard on your own players. Well, this week, I have a special request for you. Whatever you've got, dig deep, and let Randy Moss have it. Start when he steps on the field, and don't stop until he leaves it. Try to penetrate the giant Afro and get it into his head that he's done something stupid, becasue I don't think he's figured it out yet.

Asshole of the Week Award goes to the Vikings receiver, who had this to say about his $10,000 fine for pretending to moon Green Bay fans during last week's playoff game:

Reporter: "Randy, are you upset about the fine?"

Moss: "No, cause it ain't [expletive]. Ain't nothing but 10 grand. What's 10 grand to me? Ain't [expletive] … Next time I might shake my [expletive]."

I guess when you make $5.75 million a year, 10 grand doesn't seem like much. But if it means so little, how about sending a few of these "drops in the bucket" to help the tsunami victims in Asia, or the people displaced by the mudslides in California, or anybody who actually deserves that money. Because it's clear from his comments that Randy certainly doesn't.
