Vikings: Randy Moss tells inside story of mooning incident at Lambeau Field

There are great stories and then there’s Minnesota Vikings legend Randy Moss telling Tommy Kramer the backstory of The Lambeau Moon.

Much to Joe Buck’s disliking, Randy Moss forever etched his name in Minnesota Vikings lore by way of The Lambeau Moon. Not until former Vikings Pro Bowl quarterback Tommy Kramer put it on Twitter did we know the true backstory to the most disgusting act the NFL has ever seen.

Sitting around a campfire with his Pittsburgh Pirates ball cap on, Moss tells his side of the story better than anybody ever could back in Rand, West Virginia. You are going to want to grab a cold one and a hot bag of cheese curds so you can best take this one in, Green Bay Packers fans. Moss was spitting straight fire hotter than any hot dish this side of the Mississippi up in Minneapolis.

Alright, so Moss says that he pulled his hamstring in a Monday Night Football game vs. the New Orleans Saints shortly before the Vikings’ first meeting with the Packers that season. Because the Packers don’t have cheerleaders or a band of their own, they borrow the University of Wisconsin’s marching band. The tuba players trolled the injured Moss with their sign cards. Green Bay crushed.

A few weeks later when the second installment of the rivalry series was up in the Twin Cities, Moss was again unable to play and the Packers rolled. You could sense the mounting frustration in Moss by not being able to go up against his team’s biggest rival. Well, you are never going to guess who the Vikings drew in the playoffs that year? The Packers up in Lambeau. Cue Lambeau Moon.

Randy Moss went full-blown Lambeau Moon before he was straight cash, homey

Moss built a Pro Football Hall of Fame career primarily with his outstanding initial run with the Vikings. While he looked washed up when he was with the then-Oakland Raiders, Moss had a career resurgence catching balls from Tom Brady on the 2007 New England Patriots. They were won win away from navigating a perfect season. New England lost in the Super Bowl that season.

So as we all, sans Packers fans, can sit back and enjoy this hilarious retelling of the events that led up to The Lambeau Moon, it was not well received by most people in the media or America for that matter when it happened. Had this have occurred during the age of social media, there is no telling how dangerously close The Lambeau Moon would have come to breaking the internet entirely.

Moss continues to be a living legend after revealing his side of The Lambeau Moon story.
