MOSS ADMITS HE USES MARIJUANA ON OCCASION

Raiders WR Smokes `Every Blue Moon'

NEW YORK - 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."
