The Cincinnati Bengals have a legitimate star in Joe Burrow.
But besides his talents as a quarterback, the LSU star has also earned a reputation for being a bit of a trash-talker.
Burrow likes to talk smack on the field, and he’s always throwing shade at other players with his captions on Instagram as well.
That’s why it’s only right that he brings back one of the most iconic and most disrespectful celebrations this game has ever seen.
Talking on Barstool Sports’ Pardon My Take podcast, Burrow claimed that he might recreate Randy Moss’ legendary fake moon celebration if he scored a rushing touchdown next season.
Joe Burrow says he might bring back the Randy Moss fake moon taunt if he rushes for a touchdown during a road game this season.
“Do it against Pittsburgh.”
Burrow: “OK.”

Of course, he claimed that he would only do that on the road.
Needless to say, with the current state of the league, that would only make Roger Goodell make an example out of him, and that could cost him a lot of money.
Then again, Burrow just signed one of the most lucrative contracts in sports history, so he should have more than enough cash to spare to pay for that fine.
Taunting is a part of the game; it’s a part of sports.
There’s obviously a line that should never be crossed, and even Moss admitted that he wasn’t proud of that celebration.
But we’re talking about people who are getting paid to literally put their lives at risk on every single snap, so it only makes sense that they bring some excitement to the table after putting on a show on the field.
