In a notable absence from ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown during Week 14, the celebrated Randy Moss finds himself grappling with a personal health challenge that necessitated his withdrawal, as disclosed in a succinct press release by ESPN on Friday.
On the show, heartfelt tributes poured in for the Hall of Famer, who was unwavering in his request for them to carry out his beloved “You Got Moss’d” segment—an emotional echo of his enduring legacy.
But it wasn’t just ESPN that rallied in support of Moss; the folks over at FOX NFL Sunday also expressed their well wishes. Former teammates and colleagues offered their thoughts and prayers, with none other than Tom Brady venerating him as “one of the all-time great teammates and friends.”
“Our prayers. All our positive energy. We love you so much man.”

Brady’s heartfelt sentiment continued, “Our heart obviously is with you. Our prayers. All our positive energy. We love you so much, man.” His words reflect a bond that extends beyond the gridiron.
Moss’s illustrious career intertwined with Brady and Rob Gronkowski lasted a touch over three seasons in New England and left an indelible mark on the sport. Post-retirement, he briefly graced FS1 before finding his home at ESPN, where he has remained a beloved figure ever since.
