    The National Football League has asked the Russ Feingold campaign to take down a newly released ad that uses footage from NFL games. The Feingold campaign reacted quickly. "We are making an edit to the ad to accommodate the NFL's concerns," campaign spokesman John Kraus told the Journal Sentinel. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league did not license the footage used in the ad. He said the league had contacted the Feingold campaign about removing it. The ad features various scenes of football players celebrating in the end zone. One clip shows the infamous 2005 "mooning" incident featuring Randy Moss, then with the Minnesota Vikings, in a game at Lambeau Field.
