What Are You Thinking?

To WR Randy Moss, for chastising a local restaurant owner for their food during practice last Friday. The incident would come to light after Moss was surprisingly released by the Minnesota Vikings on Monday. According to numerous sources, Moss lashed out at the restaurant owners who were catering the food, putting many people in an awkward situation. Moss reportedly said aloud, "I wouldn't even feed this to my dog." Moss also ranted about how he used to eat that way growing up because his family had no money, but it's changed now that he has a lot of money. The rant apparently alienated teammates, and was the last straw for coach Brad Childress.'

C'Mon Man. Wow is all I have to say about that one. Moss is about inches away from being alienated by the NFL altogether. When Moss was released, 26 teams passed on him before the Tennessee Titans claimed him off of waivers. If that isn't any indication of where teams stand on his childish behavior, I don't know what else would indicate it. Moss throwing around his millions of dollars in people's faces is not acceptable, something a 19-year-old rapper would do. Moss is 33 years old, so there is no excuse for his behavior. When he was traded by the New England Patriots in the beginning of October, his rants about wanting a contract extension forced him out. Now he's on his last legs. If he doesn't shut his mouth, he won't be with a team beyond this season.

To Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, for not challenging what should've been a touchdown for RB Rashard Mendenhall in their game against the New Orleans Saints. The play occurred in the second quarter, shortly after the Saints successfully challenged that WR Antwan Randall-El didn't get a touchdown on a pass from QB Ben Roethlisberger. They were placed at the one-yard line. Mendenhall put the ball over the pile line in what appeared to be a touchdown. NBC subsequently showed numerous replays indicating the same. However, the challenge flag didn't come out, and the Steelers were stopped short of the end zone on their following plays. They settled for three and lost the game eventually 20-10.

C'Mon Man. I have the slightest feeling Tomlin simply wasn't paying attention. Tomlin said afterward that the replay millions of viewers saw on national television was not the same one his people saw upstairs. That's lame, and it gets a little tiring how analysts consider this man one of the best coaches in the NFL. Put him on the Cleveland Browns, and he'll be worse than Eric Mangini. He has no involvement in his offense. He was a defensive coordinator with the Vikings before he got here and Dick Lebeau still runs the Steelers' defense. Tomlin is left in no man's land. He's a motivational speaker at best, and he was handed a Super Bowl winning team when Bill Cowher retired. People need to stop giving this man credit, and give credit to Roethlisberger, Harrison and Polamalu, who are getting the job done.

To Boston Celtics' F Kevin Garnett and Michael Wilbon, for Garnett's incident involving Detroit Pistons F Charlie Villaneuva in their game on Tuesday night. After the game was over, Villaneuva tweeted that he was very upset with Garnett because Garnett called him a "cancer patient." Garnett responded by saying he told Villaneuva he was a cancer to his team and the league. Wilbon, on ESPN's PTI show, said he knows Garnett and doesn't know Villaneuva and knows Garnett would not say anything like that.

C'Mon Man. The "cancer patient" joke from Garnett is something 13-year-olds say to each other. Garnett is 34. Grow up! I have a hard time believing Garnett would tell Villaneuva he's cancerous to his team and the league in the heat of a game. Why would Garnett care anyway? It's clear he's lying, and Danny Ainge and Doc Rivers have come to Garnett's defense. They should, because they are all family in the same organization. However, what in the world is Wilbon talking about? Here's a man, along with Magic Johnson, who talks glowingly about the same NBA players. It gets tiring and they're bandwagoners. It's about time Wilbon keeps quiet about Garnett, Lebron, Kobe and Durant, because he says nothing but positive things about them, like they aren't human beings. He shouldn't be on the NBA shows, and he should be removed from PTI because he brings nothing exciting to any show. It's quite disgraceful that he would even take sides in this scenario. At the end of the day, I don't agree with Villaneuva stating that on Twitter. However, Garnett just needs to apologize to him and that's the end of it.

C'Mon Man.
