Gotta love the idiot!

Raiders wide receiver Randy Moss is waiting to hear from the NFL's medical director of substance abuse regarding whether he will be placed back into the league's drug program.

After Moss told HBO Sports last month that he has occasionally smoked marijuana, the NFL's medical director, Dr. Rick Spodafora, called Moss in for testing on the grounds that through his words, Moss has indicated that he has resumed his drug-related behavior.

Four years ago, Moss entered the NFL's drug program. The seventh-year pro was subsequently tested up to 10 times a month, but he rotated out after testing clean in the two subsequent years.

But Moss refused Spodafora's recent testing request. Fox Sports reported Sunday Moss' attorney, David Cornwall, set up a meeting to lobby on Moss' behalf that spoken words during an interview were no grounds to be readmitted into the testing program.

Cornwall met with Spodafora last Tuesday to discuss the issue.

In an August interview with HBO's "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel," Moss said he still smokes marijuana "every blue moon."

"I have used, you know, marijuana ... since I've been in the league," Moss said. "But as far as abusing it and, you know, letting it take control over me, I don't do that, no."

When pressed whether he still smokes marijuana, Moss said: "I might. I might have fun. And, you know, hopefully ... I won't get into any trouble by the NFL by saying that, you know. I have had fun throughout my years and, you know, predominantly in the offseason."

Spodafora, who is independent of both the NFL and the National Football League Players' Association, is still considering Moss' argument. No timetable has yet been set for a decision. If Spodafora rules that Moss can be tested and the wideout still refuses, Moss could be suspended since suspensions could come from two missed drug tests -- as Moss has already refused to participate in one.

That's big of you, Randy.

As long as you have your fun. I can imagine what the average construction worker must think when he reads **** like this. A guy is making millions a year, and can't simply shut up about his drug habits. It's a shame that someone more worthy couldn't have been blessed with his talents.

Ha! The Raiduhs are about to find out that their attempt at playing one of the top receivers in the NFL today is about to fail. It's nice to see that they have the basement slot secure... !Booya!

You have to wonder about Greasy Al's mentality! Did he really thing Moss was going to not exploit the fact that he's a raider and earn the darwin award for the year?! :hitself:

I really hope Randy loses some money or game time for this. Plain stupidity to blab about using drugs, much less using them in the first place.

It's okay for Kyle Orton to be in public with a half empty bottle of Jack and booze stains on his shirt and chin, or Todd Collins to climb speaker columns drunk out of mind, or BVP to be drunk at a football game throwing the bird around, but .....

God forbid you smoke a blunt in the privacy of your own home.

Hypocricy - "not that there's anything wrong with that."

Yeah, it's hypocrital, but also LEGAL! I am all for legalizing pot but until it's done, the idiots need to adhere to the league rules.

Nobody was impressed with Orton/BVP but certainly not illegal in regular life or the rules in the NFL (which players agree to go by) but Moss is a turd who not only admited to breaking the same laws we are governed by but the rules of the NFL (that he agreed to).

I agree with the "it's not legal", so deal with it argument.
Certainly not one to be defending that idiot, but I find it curious what society allows and condones.

I am waiting for the 60 minutes report 10 years after he retires where he admits to Morley Shafer the 3rd that he "huffs paint on occasion & may still do". I bet they shoot the report in front of his shopping cart/home with his custom made Hefty bag roof.
