POSTED 8:57 p.m. EST; UPDATED 8:00 a.m. EST, January 10, 2005 DUNGY DRAWS MORE CRITICISM Folks around the league privately are blasting Colts coach Tony Dungy for sharing his two cents regarding Randy Moss' Sunday evening goal post faux mooning of the Lambeau faithful. "It's not the kind of thing you want to see on national TV," Dungy said on Monday in reference to the Moss mooning, "but I understand what it was all about. "Anyone who has played in the NFC Central knows what that's about. The fans in Green Bay have a tradition in the parking lot after the game where they moon the visiting team's bus," he said. "It's kind of a unique send-off. "I had seen it seven times because when I was with the Vikings, we lost to them seven times up there." (Actually, Dungy was only with the Vikings for four seasons, from 1992 through 1995. And during that span Minnesota was 2-2 at Green Bay. As one high-level NFC exec pointed out to us on Tuesday morning, Dungy picked up six more as the coach of the Tampa Bay Bucs from 1996 through 2001.) Said one personnel exec regarding Dungy's decision to 'splain away Moss' behavior. "Has he lost his mind? Why is it every time there is an incident involving a black player -- Moss, the [Terrell] Owens thing -- [Dungy] has to chime in with some stupid comment. It usually sounds like he is Jesse Jackosn. So stick to football, or get the f--k out and hang out in Congress or something."
