No excuse, but . . .

Regarding Moss, new information today from Tony Dungy, who is not exactly an apologist for inexcusable behavior from NFL players.
"I will say one thing about Moss ... probably no one in the country can appreciate what is behind that," Dungy said. "What happens — and if you play in that division, which I did for a long time, you know — when you leave the parking lot in Green Bay that's kind of a tradition their fans have. They stand next to the fence as the buses go out and they moon the buses.

"Randy has had about six or seven years of those guys mooning him as he's left after a loss and I think that was his way of saying, 'OK, appreciate the fun, you guys had your fun, here's a little shout back at you.' That's what that was all about."


I still think that there is no excuse for what Moss did. But this is a relevant fact in judging how harsely he should be condemned.
