EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Randy Moss was fined $10,000 Thursday by the NFL for pretending to pull down his pants and moon the Green Bay crowd during Minnesota's playoff win last weekend.

Peter Hadhazy, the league's director of game operations, penalized Moss for unsportsmanlike conduct in a letter that the NFL released.

"Your actions were based on poor judgment, did not reflect well on you or the Vikings, and were insulting to many," Hadhazy wrote.

"They have resulted in widespread criticism and needlessly detracted from Minnesota's dramatic playoff victory. Fans should look to you and your teammates to see how to compete and win in football. But when you lose your focus on playing and engage in sideshows as you did on Sunday, you forfeit much of this," he wrote.

4. He's an idiot

Ideally, any professional athletes would be both classy individuals as well as, being talented at what they do. When you can't have both, some teams eagerly seek out the talent, while ignoring the lack of class.

7. This Hadhazy guy is a real tool...

...worrying about an endzone dance while ignoring the criminal past of many of its players, shamelessly exploiting scantily-clad cheerleaders, and hawking every erectile-dyfunction remedy known to man.

The NFL has clearly earned its nickname of No Fun League.
