HBO to air Moss's marijuana revelation

Oakland Raiders receiver Randy Moss admits he has used marijuana since entering the NFL seven years ago and still smokes it "every blue moon."

"I have used, you know, marijuana ... since I've been in the league," Moss said in an interview for HBO's "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel" scheduled to air Tuesday night. "But as far as abusing it and, you know, letting it take control over me, I don't do that, no."

When pressed whether he still smokes marijuana, the star receiver with the checkered past said: "I might. I might have fun. And, you know, hopefully ... I won't get into any trouble by the NFL by saying that, you know. I have had fun throughout my years and, you know, predominantly in the offseason.

"But, you know, I don't want any kids, you know, watching this taking a lesson from me as far as 'Well, Randy Moss used it so I'm going to use it.' I don't want that to get across. Like I say ... I have used (marijuana) in the past. And every blue moon or every once in a while I might."

The NFL's drug policy calls for up to 10 tests a month after one positive result. A second violation results in a fine equal to the player's salary for four games, a third in a four-game suspension, and a year's suspension for a fourth violation.

Moss has never been suspended for violating the league's drug policy and NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said it is confidential whether the receiver is in the drug program or not.

"We evaluate all conduct related to substance abuse and it is handled confidentially by the doctors," Aiello said.

Chiefs find more trouble

In a third embarrassing incident involving the police and rowdy Kansas City Chiefs players, authorities in Stillwater, Minn., said they quelled a violent disturbance caused by backup quarterback Todd Collins.

No charges were filed in the incident early Sunday at the Freight House, a restaurant and bar near the Chiefs' River Falls training camp in River Falls, Wis. But according to police reports, a woman claimed she was injured during the melee.

In separate incidents reported earlier, kicker Lawrence Tynes was charged with breaking a bouncer's nose in a bar fight in River Falls and defensive tackle Junior Siavii and safety Greg Wesley were arrested after allegedly getting into a drunken confrontation with police in a Minneapolis hotel.

An angry Carl Peterson, the Chiefs' president and general manager, told reporters on the practice field Thursday morning that starting quarterback Trent Green had helped quell the disturbance involving Collins and should not be blamed for the trouble.

"Because of his efforts, a situation which could have been pretty volatile was not. There were no charges filed, no arrests," Peterson said.
