Just days ago, former NFL star wide receiver Randy Moss announced he was leaving his commentator gig at ESPN in order to deal with a health problem.
Speculation started to spread about the nature of that health problem, and it turned out that Moss was diagnosed with bile duct cancer.
He ended up undergoing a procedure to get rid of his cancer, and he took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to send a message about looking to eradicate the terrible disease.
“LET’S MOSS CANCER,” he said.

LET'S MOSS CANCER— Randy Moss (@RandyMoss) December 13, 2024
During a pro career from 1998 to 2012 (he sat out the 2011 season), Moss became one of the best wide receivers the NFL had ever seen, and he was named to the Pro Bowl six times while leading everyone in receiving touchdowns five times.
He combined tremendous speed and leaping ability with a 6-foot-4, 210-pound frame, making him a nearly impossible cover for defensive backs, and that speed led people to compare him to San Francisco 49ers legend Jerry Rice in his early days.
He still holds the record for most touchdown receptions in a single season (23) and the most touchdown catches by a rookie (17).
Moss spent some time with the coaching staff at Victory Christian Center High School in Charlotte, N.C. after his retirement from the NFL before becoming an ESPN analyst in 2016.
