Randy Moss' son Thaddeus reports on his father's illness

The son of Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss reacted angrily Tuesday to a social media post that appeared to reveal the illness his father is currently suffering from.

The former Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots star revealed on ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown” on Dec. 1 that he is “struggling with something internal” and asked for prayers. Later in the week, ESPN said Moss would be taking a leave of absence from the network to deal with an illness that he did not disclose.

However, journalist Larry Fitzgerald Sr., father of retired NFL wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, wrote in a post on X that he had heard that Moss had been diagnosed with liver cancer.

This sparked a response from Moss’ son Thaddeus, who called Fitzgerald’s post “disgusting” and added: “You have no right to try to make private matters public for the sake of engagement.”

The report was reinforced by Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre, who played with Moss when the wide receiver briefly returned to Minnesota in 2010.

“Brett, we really appreciate the support,” Thaddeus Moss replied to X. “That’s not true. My father will address the world when he is ready.”
