Randy Moss had tirade slamming Vikings meal

Randy Moss’ classless actions at a recent Vikings locker-room buffet had to have embarrassed the team, which this week dumped the controversial wide receiver. Tinucci’s Restaurant and Catering, which operates out of Newport and Woodbury and has been in business since 1958, hosted a buffet for Vikings players Friday afternoon. “We had the whole buffet set up, and we had a nice spread — chicken, ribs, round of beef with a carving station, the whole deal,” Tinucci’s co-owner Gus Tinucci said Tuesday. “(Moss) he comes in, and I’m helping one of the guys and didn’t look up, and all of a sudden I heard, ‘What the (expletive) is this? I wouldn’t feed this (expletive expletive) to my (expletive) dog!’ And he’s screaming it at the top of his lungs. “He never even came through the line. He walked up toward it, looked at it, made the big stink and walked away. He didn’t eat.” Tinucci said the locker room, filled with players, got quiet. “Nobody said anything except for one (player) who said, ‘Shut the (expletive) up, Randy,’ ” he said. “If (Brett) Favre would have had a ball, he would have beaned him right in the head. Favre looked at him like, ‘Are you kidding me?’ ” Tinucci said nobody on coach Brad Childress’ staff was there. Tinucci said a Vikings locker room attendant in charge of the luncheon apologized to him. “He said, ‘Don’t worry about it, Gus, he’s an (expletive). He’s done this every time we’ve had food,’ ” Tinucci said. Tinucci said the other Vikings players “absolutely loved” the spread. — Pioneer Press
