Randy Moss’ son, Thaddeus Moss, has clarified that his father does not have liver cancer, countering recent rumors sparked by Larry Fitzgerald Sr. on social media. Fitzgerald, the father of former NFL star Larry Fitzgerald Jr., had claimed that the Hall of Famer was battling liver cancer, prompting former NFL quarterback Brett Favre to request prayers for Moss. In response, Thaddeus Moss took to social media, expressing gratitude for the support but firmly denying the cancer diagnosis and stating that his father will share news about his health when he feels ready.
Over the weekend, Randy Moss revealed during ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown” that he is currently “battling something internally,” which has led him to take an extended leave from his role as an analyst with the network. ESPN has publicly supported his decision and looks forward to his return when he is ready.
Moss has maintained a level of privacy regarding the specifics of his health situation. He shared on Instagram that he has excellent medical support and encouraged others to stay proactive about their health with regular checkups. His statement about wearing sunglasses during his broadcasts hints at an effort to manage his condition while still engaging with fans.
This situation reminds us of the importance of fact-checking and respecting individuals’ privacy during difficult times. It’s commendable how Thaddeus Moss stood up to clarify the situation and protect his father’s well-being. As Randy Moss focuses on his health, fans and the football community are rallying behind him with well wishes for a speedy recovery.
