Larry Fitzgerald Sr. brought chaos to the football world after claiming a serious health concern related to NFL legend Randy Moss. Yes! He informed the world saying that Moss is suffering from liver cancer. But according to the reports, the reality is different from this.

On December 10, Larry Fitzgerald Sr. took to his X platform and wrote, “66th NFF Hall of of Fame Ceremony here in Las Vegas just heard that Vikings HOF Randy Moss has liver cancer. Let’s show the power of prayer and pull Moss through this.🙏🙏🙏.I love you Randy.” He claimed that Moss is dealing with serious health issues and needs prayers from his fans.

But this claim prompted Randy Moss’s son, Thaddeus Moss, to reply to him with frustration. Hence, while writing on X, Thaddeus tweeted, “This is disgusting. You have no right to try to make private matters public for the sake of engagement. I do not believe my father talks to you , so check your fucking sources.” He clearly revealed that anything around this about his father is all fake claims. Hence, after observing all these, Fitzgerald Sr.’s son, Larry Fitzgerald Jr, decided to take the matter into his own hands, helping his father to stay out of the issue.

In the process of doing this, he wrote, “Dad, I think it’s best to respect his privacy on this. If he feels ready to share more about his health, he will. In the meantime, let’s focus on sending him positive energy, prayers, and support rather than speculating.” Besides all these, some fans are even asking Fitzgerald Jr to make his father delete his tweet – because the Fitzgerald family is unnecessarily dragged into it – and second, because it’s of course Randy Moss and his family’s personal matter.

Nevertheless, this claim is attracting the NFL community. Among those, one is surely Brett Favre who too was given a reality check by Randy Moss’s son.

Brett Favre showed concern for his ex-teammate Randy Moss!

Brett Favre and Randy Moss’s union was a short-lived one! But still, they are considered as one of the best duos in the NFL world. During his tenure, via StatMuse, Moss had 13 catches for 174 yards and scored 2 touchdowns in 4 games with Brett Favre in his career. Also, Favre connected with Moss for his 500th career touchdown pass. That happened in the Vikings’ 2010 season game vs the Jets.

What’s your perspective on:

Is it ever okay to share unverified health news about public figures like Randy Moss?

Have an interesting take?

So, obviously this bonding was pure and strong. That’s why after hearing the cancer news of Moss, Favre wrote on X:Just heard that Randy Moss has liver cancer. Prayers to him and his family. Randy is and will always be one of the all time greats to ever run a route. Definitely on the NFL WR Mt. Rushmore.

With this, he shared two pictures: one image portrayed Favre in his Green Bay attire while Moss in his Vikings uniform; and then the next image, which showed both the players together (in the Vikings). Nevertheless, it was obvious that Favre was caught in misinformation. Therefore, Moss’s son, Thaddeus Moss, commented here too – “Brett, the support is appreciated, truly. This is not true. My father will address the world when he is ready to.”

Hence, this reply prompted the former quarterback to edit his well-wishing message, deleting the “liver cancer” part.
