Raiders Great Is Coping With A Medical Emergency

Randy’s Plea

The ESPN football analyst didn’t disclose details of the illness he might be battling, but pointedly told “all you men” to “get your blood work done and we’ll work through it.”

“People were talking about my eyes last week,” Moss said as he put on a pair of sunglasses and turned the camera toward Ryan, who also appeared to don spectacles in support of Moss.

“I’m battling something, man, and it’s something internal. Your boy is going to get through it,” Moss continued. “I got a great team of doctors and got a great family around me.”

Moss addressed his use of sunglasses while on camera. Fans took notice of the glasses but he was transparent with why he was using them.

“If y’all see me with these … it’s not because I’m being disrespectful because I’m on television; it’s because I’m battling something,” Moss told the ESPN audience.

The 47-year-old Hall of Famer played 14 seasons. He played for the Minnesota Vikings, Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots, Tennessee Titans, and San Francisco 49ers. Moss’s 156 touchdown catches rank second all-time. Moss ranks fourth in receptions for 15,292 yards, fourth all-time trailing only Rice (22,895), Larry Fitzgerald (17,492), and Terrell Owens (15,934).

“I just ask for all the prayer warriors … to put their blessing hands on me and my family through these hard times,” Moss added in his Instagram posts.

Moss didn’t reveal what illness he may be battling yet to the public. But it seems as if it was the public who noticed something was wrong with Moss’ health that may have potentially saved his life.
