Randy Moss, Joe Buck clear the air over 2005 ‘disgusting’ mooning incident, For better or worse, it remains one of the NFL's most memorable moments of the 2000s: the 2005 NFC wild card playoff where the Vikings' Randy Moss scored a touchdown and "mooned" the Lambeau Field crowd, while up in the booth Fox Sports announcer Joe Buck tut-tutted the "disgusting act."
Nobody really came out looking good in the incident; Moss came off as classless, while Buck seemed hopelessly stuffy. (Moss, for his part, was just responding to the Green Bay fans who mooned the opposing team's buses.)
