Those were the famous words Randy Moss told the press when asked how he was going to pay his fine after his arrest for pushing a traffic cop with his Lexus in downtown Minneapolis.

Below are just a few examples of Viking player arrests. Nab all the bonuses in this combo for some serious straight-up points.
