How much did Randy Moss get fined for his 'mooning' celebration?

How much money did the NFL fine former Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Randy Moss for his infamous touchdown celebration in the 2004 playoffs?

Labeled a "disgusting act" by former FOX play-by-play announcer at the time, the touchdown celebration by former Minnesota Vikings superstar wide receiver Randy Moss during the team's win over the Green Bay Packers in the 2004 playoffs is a moment in NFL history that will never be forgotten.

For those who need a refresher, Moss hauled in a 34-yard touchdown pass midway through the fourth quarter that sealed a victory for the Vikings in a 2004 playoff matchup with the Packers. After the catch, the former Minnesota All-Pro receiver proceeded to celebrate by pretending to pull his pants down and rub his backside on Green Bay's home goalpost.

How much did the mooning touchdown celebration cost former Minnesota Vikings WR Randy Moss?

Despite the over-the-top reaction from Buck, some might be surprised to learn that Moss wasn't even flagged for a penalty for his touchdown celebration. However, the NFL made up for not penalizing the receiver on the field when they later fined him $10,000.

The fine given to Moss ultimately led to the receiver delivering one of the most iconic lines in the sport of football when he was asked about how he planned to pay for the fine.

Following his fine, Moss was asked by a local Twin Cities reporter if he had written the check yet to pay for his violation. The former Vikings receiver responded by telling the reporter, "When you're rich, you don't write checks."

Then in response to being asked how he will pay for the fine if not by check, Moss replied with three simple words, "Straight cash, homey."

During his NFL career, Moss was fined multiple times, including once for $40,000 when he squirted a water bottle at a game official during Minnesota's loss to the St. Louis Rams in the 1999 playoffs.
