Well, this should be interesting. Randy Moss is joining the crew of Fox Football Daily and Fox NFL Kickoff, two of the new signature shows for the new Fox Sports 1.
Who knows? Moss might have been auditioning for a TV gig during last year’s Super Bowl media day. He made headlines when he said he was “the greatest receiver ever.”
Greg Rosenthal of NFL.com compiled more excerpts:
On finances: “I collect the game check and my family spends it.”
On what Moss wants out of life: “I think it was (Michael Jackson’s) sister or his brother — one of them said, ‘Michael just always wanted to be normal.’ I’m not putting myself on Michael Jackson’s pedestal, but I kind of understood where they were coming from. I always wanted to be able to go to the park and play a game or go shopping or go to the grocery store. I’ve always wanted to be normal.”
On returning to football: “I think that for me to be able to take a year off; I’ve said it before that I really did cry, I really did. I love this game of football so much. I don’t like everything that comes with it, but going out on the field between the white lines and playing football is something I’ve always done.
“I’ve been doing it since I was six years old. For me to be able to just walk away from the game, knowing that I wasn’t ready, mentally or physically, it really hurt me, man. It really depressed me. It warmed me up to know that I wasn’t ready to leave the game.”
On whether he’s ever had an imaginary girlfriend: “If I did, I never told anybody about it.”
It’ll be interesting to see if Moss gets into the TV thing. If he does, Fox may have something here. But knowing Moss, that’s a big if.
