Randy Moss' classless actions at a recent Minnesota Vikings' locker-room buffet had to have embarrassed the team, which this week dumped the controversial wide receiver.

Tinucci's Restaurant and Catering, which operates out of Newport and Woodbury and has been in business since 1958, hosted a buffet for Vikings players Friday afternoon.

"We had the whole buffet set up, and we had a nice spread — chicken, ribs, round of beef with a carving station, the whole deal," Tinucci's co-owner Gus Tinucci said today. "(Moss) he comes in, and I'm helping one of the guys and didn't look up, and all of a sudden I heard, 'What the (expletive) is this? I wouldn't feed this (expletive expletive) to my (expletive) dog!' And he's screaming it at the top of his lungs.

"He never even came through the line. He walked up towards it, looked at it, made the big stink and walked away. He didn't eat."

Tinucci said the locker room, filled with players, got quiet.

"Nobody said anything except for one (player) who said, 'Shut the (expletive) up, Randy,' " he said.

"If (Brett) Favre would have had a ball, he would have beaned him right in the head. Favre looked at him like, 'Are you kidding me?' "

Tinucci said nobody on coach Brad Childress' staff was there. Tinucci said one Vikings locker room attendant in charge of the luncheon apologized to him.

"He said, 'Don't worry about it, Gus, he's an (expletive). He's done this every time we've had food.' "

Tinucci said the other Vikings players "absolutely loved" the spread.

"They were coming up and thanking me, and I don't know if that was because of what happened prior, but they did," he said. "It was quite an interesting afternoon, to say the least."

Gus' brother and partner in the family business, John, wasn't there, but asked Gus if he had responded to Moss' actions.

"What was I going to say?" Gus said. "I'm not going to make a stink; they're our customer."

Tinucci said he's confident the Moss-less Vikings will invited him back.

"The guys who hired us really liked us," he said.
