First off, you can remove anything prior to his NFL days, because that's what we're discussing. His high school or college days are irrelevant to the discussion about comparing him to a known drug addict who has not only struggled to stay clean, but who has made himself unavailable to the game itself.1995 - After signing a letter of intent to play his college football at Notre Dame, Moss took part in a racially-motivated fight at his high school in Belle, West Virginia. Moss pled guilty to battery and received probation and a 30-day suspended jail sentence. Because of the incident, Notre Dame revoked his scholarship.
