Great show (#65) Bart!!!

As a Packer fan, I am compelled to comment on our buddy Randy Moss.

What he did was tasteless and crude but I understand the following from
attending past Packer-Viking games and that is Randy almost certainly put up
with hateful fans shouting insults that go far above normal booing and catcalls.
The same goes on most places.  A superstar player is a target of abuse.
Favre gets the treatment anywhere the Packers go.

Far worse was the clothesline hit that Jacksonville’s Donovan Darius put on
Robert Ferguson a few weeks back.  Ferguson was paralyzed for about a half hour,
from what I understand.

The announcers and talking heads did not give that situation near the lip service
they gave berating Moss for what was no more than an immature schoolboy type action.
To them, a gesture is far worse than a possible critical injury caused by a flagrant hit.

When an illegal hit causes a player to miss games, he should be fined and have to
sit out the length of time the player is injured.  THEN the suspension can start.
The league could assign a physician to the injured player to determine fairness.

That would stop many of these hits and keep football from turning into hockey.
