Legendary NFL tight end Randy Moss made a tearful return to ESPN at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on Sunday months after doctors found a cancerous mass between his pancreas and liver. ‘Hey y'all, I couldn't do it alone, and I really thank y'all,’ Moss said through tears on the ESPN set at the Superdome following an on-air tribute from the likes of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. ‘Hey guys, it's been hard,’ Moss continued, ‘but I got a lot of love, and a lot of people believe in me, man, so I'm happy to be here.’.

ESPN host Mike Greenberg admitted immediately after the tribute 'we told him, we wouldn't do that,' before promising that would be the last heartfelt moment on the program. 'That is a message from the entire football world, and we are thrilled to have you here,' Greenberg said to his co-host. 'Greeny, don't do it again,' Moss laughed through his tears. 'Let's get this show started.'. “It is so great to have you back.” – Tom BradyBill Belichick, Kevin Garnett and Justin Jefferson, among others, join Brady in welcoming back Randy Moss pic.twitter.com/ZwUhvgsOTT.
Randy Moss made a tearful return to ESPN at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on Sunday months after doctors found a cancerous mass between his pancreas and liver. By November, a number of fans had grown concerned about Moss before his announcement. Moss went on to thank a number of his supporters for helping him return to the air, including: 'The prayer warriors, my doctors, my beautiful wife for traveling with me.'.
Back in November, a number of fans had grown concerned about Moss' health when his eyes appeared yellow on ESPN. That led to Moss making the shock announcement about his health a month ago, appearing on an Instagram Live video alongside his sons to tell fans he had undergone a six-hour surgery and could not walk without a cane. Speaking about his cancer battle in December, Moss said: 'I've told y'all over the last couple of weeks about me battling something internally, and ya boy is a cancer survivor.'.
