    Keeping quiet has cost Randy Moss $25,000. The NFL fined the Minnesota Vikings' star wide receiver on Friday for failing to cooperate with the news media. Players' contracts specify they must make themselves available to the media at specific times each week. Moss last spoke to the media on Oct. 13, then declined interviews after a win over Dallas on Oct. 17, throughout last week leading up to a loss at Green Bay, and after the defeat. Moss also declined to be available this week despite being in high demand because the Vikings visit New England, for whom Moss played the past three seasons.

    If it is part of a players contract, he had to talk to the media, but $25k? That's weird

    From now on, Randy should say 'It was a great game....hey, we lost, but it was still a great game'....no fine then, huh? That's just crazy.

    I fully understand why he would get fined here. part of your job as a pro athlete is to deal with the Media. Not everything about any job is perfect. and this is one of the things you just gotta deal with it. its part of your job

    Maybe now he'll just give answers so boring that the media wont want to talk to him anymore.
