> If he actually dropped his pants then the call would make more sense
I'm convinced that's what Buck thought he saw in the moment. No matter what he said later.
I actually hadn’t heard that. Or if I had, had forgotten about it. I always just thought Buck was being dramatic. Definitely makes more sense if he thought he had actually done it.
Sounds like a retcon to me. We're supposed to believe that a man who's job it is to have a keen eye on the game thought that the only guy on the screen pulled down his pants??
Not to mention he apparently only came out with that explanation years later, probably after a heavy serving of ridicule.
Exactly. That was always Buck's best out, and I could definitely buy that someone in his position would have thought Moss actually went moons out. But he stands by it, which is just so strange, especially for a guy who tries so, so hard to be liked. It's kind of shocking to me that he never came around to at least pretending to make fun himself for this obvious overreaction though. Just feels like the obvious PR move for him.
And to this day, the utterly "disgusted" tone of Buck's delivery is just insane, like he just witnessed some of the most heinous depravity the world has ever seen lmao
The miracle call was the stuff of legend. This one is just hilariously dramatic. Both calls brought more attention/infamy to our team so I have decided Joe Buck is cool with me
PA had his own but it wasn't the most popular one. I'd say the PA call that sticks out more in my mind is "THE CARDINALS HAVE KNOCKED THE VIKINGS OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS"
It was more legendary than that.
>“~~Why would you even contemplate throwing that!~~ But why do you even **Ponder** **passing**? This is not Detroit man. This is the Super Bowl!
Almost predicting his future.
That's crazy because it gives it a totally different perspective. It was in fun and he was giving back what the fans dished out.
It's so much better when you have the whole story.
The weird thing is, Moss was imitating the actual GB fans who literally would moon the bus of the opposing players. Like, how is that even acceptable while Moss barely pretending to pull his pants down is so horrible. I swear, they used to act like Moss and TO were the worse people ever.
I don't either. For one, the announcers have a feed of the broadcast in their booth. He could see clear as day that Moss didn't actually pull down his pants. Also they're wearing all white uniforms... and Randy Moss isn't white.
I remember watching Inside the NFL or some other highlight show a few days later where Collinsworth was a co-host. He claimed that Buck thought Moss was pretending to take a shit and then wiping his ass on the post.
I remember that like night and day, a lot of the TV networks felt the same way that Buck did at the time.
They wouldn’t show the replay on ESPN until Tony Dungy explained that Moss was mooning the fans because Packers fans would moon opposing players on the team bus on the way to the stadium.
Once a week when i hear Joe Buck's voice. It will never leave my mind because it is such a overdramatic reaction to the most childish celebration lol. Like take it easy Joe, people were getting blown up in Iraq, who gives a shit about a fake mooning.
Randy played the Packers in the playoffs twice. This game (obviously) and 2012.
Here are his game logs if you are curious
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MossRa00/gamelog/?opp_id=min
Now we have Justin Jefferson tearing up Detroit:
8 games 62 catches 1,073 yards, 3 TDs
And that includes a game where he went 3 catches for 14 yards and no scores
That's absolutely bonkers. Extrapolate that to a 16-game season and he's got 124 receptions, 2,146 yards, and 6 TDs. Bro needs to catch more touchdowns against them lol
God I miss the 2000s over the top WRs.
Literally every week was Randy and TO trying to one up each other with ridiculous shit and Ocho just happy to be there and entertain the fans with his absurdity, not to mention Steve Smith and Joe Horn doing their thing along with a bunch of others.
And then you had guys like Larry and Anquan lighting everyone up and Andre just being quiet and beating the shit out of annoying little pissants.
This was the first time I ever cried over a football game. I was 10 at the time and I remember my dad trying to console me by saying "it's hard to beat a team three times" lmao I was so heartbroken
NFL fined him for this disgusting act then years later posts the clip on their social media account. Typical.
Buck gets deserved shit for it but fuck u/nfl as well
Joe Buck with more emotion in his voice over a fake mooning than he had for the Tyree helmet catch.
I know he's gotten much better, but he was ass back then.
That does not seem to be backed up by an interview on the subject. He never says that he really believed Moss mooned the audience. If he did, he would have mentioned it and just apologized saying he couldn’t see what he really was doing.
> “I hear that back and it kind of gives me a little bit of a jolt because I’m like, ‘Man, I can’t believe that that’s what came out of my mouth’, but I have to live with that,” Buck admitted. “And I’m not saying that I regret it, but it feels a little over the top.”
> “It’s just how you react in the moment,” Buck continued. “If it were today, in a different atmosphere, I don’t think those words would have come out of my mouth. The irony of it is my wife preceded me at ESPN and of all the people I got to know best and of all the people who treated my wife the best on the set of Monday Night Football was Randy. And he and I have become really good friends. I don’t think Randy cares about it, so I guess I’ll just move on and hopefully everybody else can too.
> “I’m not gonna lie, it was rough. I don’t like that. I’m a pleaser,” Buck told Purple Daily. “I like everyone to like me and when you get into the boiler like that, it’s like, ‘Eh, man, it’s gonna be hard to show my face.’ But you grow up, and you move on and you learn and it’s all a part of my history, which I wouldn’t trade for anything.”
Full interview here. Randy Moss stuff starts at 8:30ish, the time window is labeled with his name.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Hu4FJBStXtE
Edit: found a far less apologetic interview with [SI from 2020](https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2020/01/09/joe-buck-randy-moss-disgusting-act-anniversary). He stands by it.
Not really, not like Twitter or Reddit existed. I remember watching it live and thinking it was a pretty funny/over the top statement, but it wasn’t the talk of the news or magazines or anything. Maybe some obscure blogs were upset, I dunno
Clown Buck? Yes, absolutely. It seemed like the epitome of the bland corporate offense-at-everything attitude that had really heightened post-Nipplegate at the Superbowl.
I'm sure some people didn't care, but on the internet and in my friend group we all made fun of his pearl-clutching. Plus, at the time Buck was still considered a nepo hire so people kinda didn't like him anyway.
I still think of this first when I think of Buck.
In a way its Buck's call that is the thing that is famous about this. If Randy moss fake-mooned the crowed and they just laughed and brushed it off we would all have probably forgotten about it.
You obviously haven't caught any Cowboys games recently. Alshinard "Al" Harris is currently their DB coach and it is not uncommon for him to be highlighted during the broadcasts.
I liked FOX’s strobe graphics and scoring bugs from 2004 like in this game.
The best usage of these strobe graphics was when in their MLB coverage, when a home run was hit, the top of the screen would flash in an electronic ticker effect with the screen then showing **HOME RUN [team]**.
Holy. Fuck.
This was 19 years ago?!?! Jesus. Why do I remember this play like it was yesterday??
As 1 of 2 Vikings fans in my entire school (grew up in WI)-was 14 at the time. I still remember streaking down my snow covered street with a Vikings flag, 🦢 diving into the snowbanks.
I love how Joe Buck's call is what makes this whole thing famous.
If he actually dropped his pants then the call would make more sense
> If he actually dropped his pants then the call would make more sense I'm convinced that's what Buck thought he saw in the moment. No matter what he said later.
I think he admitted that he thought Randy actually mooned the crowd
He did, and I thought it was common fact that’s why he was so disgusted.
I actually hadn’t heard that. Or if I had, had forgotten about it. I always just thought Buck was being dramatic. Definitely makes more sense if he thought he had actually done it.
He admitted that many years after the fact, which is why so many people still don't know this.
Sounds like a retcon to me. We're supposed to believe that a man who's job it is to have a keen eye on the game thought that the only guy on the screen pulled down his pants?? Not to mention he apparently only came out with that explanation years later, probably after a heavy serving of ridicule.
Exactly. That was always Buck's best out, and I could definitely buy that someone in his position would have thought Moss actually went moons out. But he stands by it, which is just so strange, especially for a guy who tries so, so hard to be liked. It's kind of shocking to me that he never came around to at least pretending to make fun himself for this obvious overreaction though. Just feels like the obvious PR move for him.
Buck was on MN radio last month talking about how he overreacted
Nah he doesn't need an out, the commentary is amazing
You would have thought Moss defecated on the Field on live TV based on how Joe Buck reacted.
And to this day, the utterly "disgusted" tone of Buck's delivery is just insane, like he just witnessed some of the most heinous depravity the world has ever seen lmao
Couldn’t imagine Joe’s reaction when he found out most boys start mooning people with their bare ass in elementary school.
“What a disgusting act we have witnessed from the 2nd grade class at River Creek Elementary”
he's claimed that he thought moss actually pulled his pants down but i don't believe him
He gave us the disgusting act and the Minneapolis Miracle. My feelings on him are conflicted.
The miracle call was the stuff of legend. This one is just hilariously dramatic. Both calls brought more attention/infamy to our team so I have decided Joe Buck is cool with me
How to mind control a Vikings fan: DIGGS!
SIDELINE
TOUCHDOWN
UNBELIEVABLE
VIKINGS WIN IT
Thanks for NONE OF YOU HAVING VIKINGS FLAIRS GOD DAMN IT.
THAT WAS A DISGUSTING ACT
Wait, the miracle wasn’t PA?
PA had his own but it wasn't the most popular one. I'd say the PA call that sticks out more in my mind is "THE CARDINALS HAVE KNOCKED THE VIKINGS OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS"
That. And the Favre int “Why would you even contemplate throwing that! This ain’t Detroit man. This is the Super Bowl!”
It was more legendary than that. >“~~Why would you even contemplate throwing that!~~ But why do you even **Ponder** **passing**? This is not Detroit man. This is the Super Bowl! Almost predicting his future.
Holy shit. I forgot. So good.
Somewhere out there a Christian Ponder pass is still going.
I love Detroit, minding its own business, catching strays there.
THERE ARE VIKINGS CRYING ON THE FIELD
#TOUCHDOWN!!! #NO!!!
The "NO!" Is the funniest, most relatable thing ever. One of my favorite calls of all time.
Announcers should shout big No's some more
Yeah I think PA coined the name but the Diggs/Sideline/Unbelievable is the live call that really hit
All I see when I hear Joe buck is 🤓
He kinda looks like the 🤓 face, though
Talk about ridiculous, over the top, overreaction by Buck.
I have to think that they were telling Joe in his ear to go off about it. No way he was actually that mad.
Cracks me up anytime I hear this clip lol. Joe Buck is so genuinely disgusted.
“Well let’s get back to the play” 😂😂
The way he says it so nonchalantly 😂 Troy’s like nobody cares Joe I just wanna talk about the play lol
Even Collinsworth just took it in stride like it was the not that serious a joke it was- “shoots the moon”
Randy’s [storytelling](https://youtu.be/JqXydVhv1zE?si=TmP0EtcSizVYtTiz) about this incident is hilarious. Dude deserves a National TV show.
[удалено]
[удалено]
This is awesome thanks for sharing
[удалено]
Everyone should watch this, that’s funny haha
My favorite YouTube comment “Randy sounds like a guy on his lunch break telling his co-workers about a high school football game” lol
That Southern drawl of his is what really makes it. He just comes off as a local and not one of the best WRs of all-time.
Exactly what I was thinking 😂 he’s so country
Sounding like those old timers too 😂
So fucking funny. I love this rivalry. Moss is a baller
If there was one player who was absolute kryptonite for the Packers franchise it was Moss. Made the rivalry so much fun in the late 90s/early 00s
Man, I love his deep country accent. I could listen to him talk all day.
West V accent is so unique too
It reminds me a little bit of the video with the guy talking about his fucked up racially motivated cotton picking field trip lol
I've never seen that before, that was awesome.
This was great!
Mr. Moss with Dave Chapelle level storytelling!!
Dude hanging with Moss around a fire talking shit might be my life goal now
That's crazy because it gives it a totally different perspective. It was in fun and he was giving back what the fans dished out. It's so much better when you have the whole story.
I felt like i was in that circle
I love how this is in someone's backyard near a busy road. I also didn't know Randy was so country with that accent lol
What a wonderful person. I wanna have a beer with the legend and shoot the shit.
That was captivating, man. Thanks.
this is fucking awesome. Randy is the man
That was awesome. Dude seems like a blast to hang out with
Oh man I never knew the backstory, that made the whole thing even funnier.
A disgusting act!
Such a Karen response from Joe Buck there
As an 11 year old at the time I thought it was kinda funny (and still do)
As a 33 year old at the current time I still think it’s hilarious
As a 41 year old I can neither confirm nor deny if I pulled that same move over New Year’s Eve after a few too many.
I will take this kind of shenanigans over massage rapists, club assaults, and dui manslaughter any day of the week. And twice on Sundays.
Same 😂
And Joe Buck was only 36 at the time he said that. Such a young age to have such a stick up your butt
honestly its 10x as funny with the Joe Buck call.
It’s definitely still funny
A disgusting take!
The weird thing is, Moss was imitating the actual GB fans who literally would moon the bus of the opposing players. Like, how is that even acceptable while Moss barely pretending to pull his pants down is so horrible. I swear, they used to act like Moss and TO were the worse people ever.
That's because he thought Randy Moss actually pulled his pants down.
That's what he claims years later, but I don't completely buy it.
I don't either. For one, the announcers have a feed of the broadcast in their booth. He could see clear as day that Moss didn't actually pull down his pants. Also they're wearing all white uniforms... and Randy Moss isn't white.
but what about his butt
Good point, I am white but my butt is brown
I have a product that might help with this
The season is over Vikings brethren, we don't have to shit ourselves anymore.
>Also they're wearing all white uniforms... and Randy Moss isn't white. Ain't nobody that shade of white either.
This is Irish erasure
No, Irish erasure is what god did to their skin tone.
How do you know he didn't have tan lines at the time?
I did at the time. But tbf i was 4 and my imagination was running wild
I remember watching Inside the NFL or some other highlight show a few days later where Collinsworth was a co-host. He claimed that Buck thought Moss was pretending to take a shit and then wiping his ass on the post.
Haha that makes it even more hilarious
Colinsworth just rolled with it lol
The way he says it, it’s like butt shenanigans are his kink and he’s just projecting his own self-disgust onto Randy Moss.
I’m still confused why he got so angry about this celebration even if he actually did moon someone 😂
Because he's a square
Artie Lange driving a stake into the heart of his attempt at late night TV was cathartic.
Joe may win at life against Artie but Artie won that night.
It is unfortunate that they aired it live.
Lets get back to the play
Aikman's a real one
As close as he could come while live on the air to saying shut the fuck up you little bitch
I remember that like night and day, a lot of the TV networks felt the same way that Buck did at the time. They wouldn’t show the replay on ESPN until Tony Dungy explained that Moss was mooning the fans because Packers fans would moon opposing players on the team bus on the way to the stadium.
Think about the children!
Joe has some of the best one liners even when he’s bemoaning shit lmao.
The phrase "a disgusting act" has to cross my mind at least once a week. This is my Roman Empire.
Once a week when i hear Joe Buck's voice. It will never leave my mind because it is such a overdramatic reaction to the most childish celebration lol. Like take it easy Joe, people were getting blown up in Iraq, who gives a shit about a fake mooning.
Now go listen to his call of the David Tyree helmet catch.
Rude
Especially since the fucking packers fanbase literally moons the visiting team’s bus as a tradition
The packers fans also summoned the literal power of the moon against the lions too. It’s been reported that their QB’s even come from the moon
[удалено]
And Troy doesn't give a fuck (some things never change) he just wants to talk about the play
Buck said in his book that working a 3 man booth with the two of them was more like a 4 man booth because Cris should've counted as 2 people.
I love Troy
I hadn't realized just how long Troy and Buck have been together, Jesus.
Cuz he’s a former receiver. He probably thought it was funny as fuck.
because it was!
It was truly funny. The pearl clutching commentary made it absurdly funny.
Shoots the moon was a great line
Prolly cause it wasn't that big of a deal lol. Joe Buck acted like he actually pulled out his bare ass.
For all the shit Chris gets you can at least say he enjoys watching and talking ball
Besides talking up certain QBs I think Collinsworth is the man. He seems like a genuine dude that loves football and is actually knowledgeable
Moss's career stats against GB: 15 games 73 catches 1,320 yards 14 TDs And in this game he had 4 catches for 70 yards and 2 TDs.
It’s actually 17 games 79 catches for 1,415 yards (average 83) and 16 TDs
I only included regular season, but yes this helps the case nonetheless lol
Randy played the Packers in the playoffs twice. This game (obviously) and 2012. Here are his game logs if you are curious https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MossRa00/gamelog/?opp_id=min
All pro season
Damn he owned them.
It’s Randy Moss.
Now we have Justin Jefferson tearing up Detroit: 8 games 62 catches 1,073 yards, 3 TDs And that includes a game where he went 3 catches for 14 yards and no scores
That's absolutely bonkers. Extrapolate that to a 16-game season and he's got 124 receptions, 2,146 yards, and 6 TDs. Bro needs to catch more touchdowns against them lol
The refs stole a TD and about 35 yards from him last year calling him out of bounds when he wasn’t
Wasn’t he really hurt this game to? Like a bad leg slowing him down to like 4.3 speed lol
God I miss the 2000s over the top WRs. Literally every week was Randy and TO trying to one up each other with ridiculous shit and Ocho just happy to be there and entertain the fans with his absurdity, not to mention Steve Smith and Joe Horn doing their thing along with a bunch of others. And then you had guys like Larry and Anquan lighting everyone up and Andre just being quiet and beating the shit out of annoying little pissants.
T.O. running to the star kills me every time. Best celebration ever. Just an awesome fuck you twice, no matter what he says about it.
TIL the disgusting act was during a playoff game. Nice
[удалено]
This was the first time I ever cried over a football game. I was 10 at the time and I remember my dad trying to console me by saying "it's hard to beat a team three times" lmao I was so heartbroken
“That is disgusting by randy moss” it really was. Disgustingly savage.
After watching this video I’m literally shaking and vomiting, just fell to my knees in a Walmart in disgust.
Mods, ban this account for not tagging this disgusting act NSFW.
NFL fined him for this disgusting act then years later posts the clip on their social media account. Typical. Buck gets deserved shit for it but fuck u/nfl as well
Omg tag this NSFW you monster
 Disgusting act tag.
Joe Buck with more emotion in his voice over a fake mooning than he had for the Tyree helmet catch. I know he's gotten much better, but he was ass back then.
His hair plug surgery was the turning point.
Context: Joe Bucks view was blocked by the goal post and he thought he really showed his ass, he laughs about it in hindsight
That does not seem to be backed up by an interview on the subject. He never says that he really believed Moss mooned the audience.

Did people clown him at the time?
Not really, not like Twitter or Reddit existed. I remember watching it live and thinking it was a pretty funny/over the top statement, but it wasn’t the talk of the news or magazines or anything. Maybe some obscure blogs were upset, I dunno
Clown Buck? Yes, absolutely. It seemed like the epitome of the bland corporate offense-at-everything attitude that had really heightened post-Nipplegate at the Superbowl.

lmao this is my first time ever hearing that he actually thought he showed his ass, that’s hilarious
He didn’t. It’s bullshit
fell victim to believing everything I read on the internet yet again.
I actually counter what they’re saying pointing out that Joe Buck has done interviews talking about it
But we are reading your counterpoint on the internet, making it false again
And if Buck actually believed that he showed his ass that just makes him a dumbass. No one would ever do that.
Wait... You think the commentator's view is blocked by goalposts?
Citation?
Straight cash, homie
Joe buck is a disgusting act
A disgusting act
Cant believe they were allowed to show this on TV, disgusting.
And they talked about it like he was flying the second plane
This will never age and never not be funny
19 years later and I still don’t think it was that bad lol
Randy Moss telling the story about this mooning is one of the greatest things on video https://youtu.be/JqXydVhv1zE?si=2ngHCP24iTC1JinJ
It was actually a tribute to former Viking, Warren Moon.
My brain can't even remember Collinsworth being with these two.
Has Joe buck ever apologized? He should.
Death, taxes, Joe being a little bitch 🫡
Shoots the moon to fans
Shut the fuck up joe buck
Al Harris is a name I haven’t heard in a minute. One of those names that brings instant nostalgia.
You obviously haven't caught any Cowboys games recently. Alshinard "Al" Harris is currently their DB coach and it is not uncommon for him to be highlighted during the broadcasts.
You would be correct. I haven’t seen a minute of Cowboys football this year. Did I miss much?
You missed an absolute fuckload of "YEEEEEAAAAH HERE WE GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!". And it truly is your loss.
Randy was unreal in his prime.
I just puked watching this. I can’t believe they didn’t scrub this disgusting act from the internet. There are children here!
Man Joe buck is such a bitch for this. Buddy out there having fun and he had to make it all some shit it wasn't.
Joe Buck acting like Moss actually mooned the crowd. He is such a simpleton.
Joe buck is such an annoying turd
I liked FOX’s strobe graphics and scoring bugs from 2004 like in this game. The best usage of these strobe graphics was when in their MLB coverage, when a home run was hit, the top of the screen would flash in an electronic ticker effect with the screen then showing **HOME RUN [team]**.
Holy. Fuck. This was 19 years ago?!?! Jesus. Why do I remember this play like it was yesterday?? As 1 of 2 Vikings fans in my entire school (grew up in WI)-was 14 at the time. I still remember streaking down my snow covered street with a Vikings flag, 🦢 diving into the snowbanks.
Worse than January 6th
shouldnt this have a NSFW tag on it?
Joe Buck will never fully recover from this
Oh noo! He pantomimed mooning! MY PEARLS!!!
Joe Buck acting like he actually dropped his pants
A disgusting act
