If you see Randy Moss wearing sunglasses during ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown, there’s a reason for this choice.
The Hall of Fame wide receiver turned analyst opened Sunday’s show to explain that he would be wearing blue-tinted glasses because he and his family are “struggling with something internally.” Moss made it clear that he would be fine.
“I have some great doctors around me. I couldn’t miss the show, I wanted to be here with you guys, I feel great. But when y’all see me with these Michigan convertible glasses I have on, that’s not it case.” disrespectful,” Moss said. “I’m fighting something.”

In a video posted to Instagram ahead of the show, Moss said the “internal” issue had been going on for the past week and that he would be wearing glasses for the entire show.
“During the week of the holidays, your son has been battling something internal,” Moss said. “I have a great team of doctors and a great family around me.”
In the video, Moss added that ESPN insider Adam Schefter called the blue-tinted sunglasses “Michigan turnover glasses” — a timely joke in the aftermath of Michigan’s win over Ohio State on Saturday.
Moss did not provide more information about the disease or cause behind the glasses, but encouraged people to contact their doctor. “You guys do your checkups, get your blood work done and we’ll work through it,” he said.
Moss has been an analyst on Sunday NFL Countdown since 2016 and is the longest-tenured panelist on the show.
