It has been a tough year for Randy Moss, who stepped back from ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown” after his battle with cancer. But, he is now set to make his return when the 2025 season begins.
In an interview with TMZ Sports’ Michael Babcock, the New England Patriots legend opened up about this journey he describes as “an emotional roller coaster,” and how excited he is to get back to doing what he loves.
“Man, I look forward to it. I missed my crew. Greenie, Alex, Teddy,” Moss said before throwing in a jab at one of his co-hosts. “I really didn’t miss Rex Ryan much because he got on my nerves. So, Rex, if you’re hearing this, I am coming back, so scoot over.”
“We have a great group of guys that I work with that I tremendously missed for two months, and ESPN accepted me back with open arms,” he added. “Man, I just can’t wait for week one to get back with the crew and talk football!”
Moss stepped back from ESPN in December after revealing on Instagram Live that he had surgery in Charlotte for cancer, which was found in the bile duct between the pancreas and the liver. He then had to have a stent inserted into his liver due to complications, along with undergoing chemotherapy and radiation.
“It was an emotional roller coaster, but being able to see the support from the ESPN Sunday Countdown crew, the football fans, and just people in general, man, just showing their love and respect,” Moss explained to the outlet. “I thank everybody for their love and their prayers. I really felt everything. I felt all of it.”
