‘I love you, man’: Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, Kevin Garnett, and more welcome back Randy Moss to NFL Countdown
"It's been hard, but I've got a lot of love and a lot of people believing in me, man."
A day after Dick Vitale made his triumphant return to ESPN, Randy Moss did the same on Sunday NFL Countdown.
The former Patriots star stepped away in December to receive treatment for cancer. He had surgery to put a stent in his liver and underwent a procedure to remove the cancer.
Moss, while speaking on Instagram Live, referred to himself as a cancer survivor.
ESPN welcomed back Moss with a tribute video that included guest appearances from Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, Kevin Garnett, and more.
“Welcome back, Randy,” Brady said. “I’m sure all the guys on the set have missed you, but we’ve all missed you as well. You’ve been a fixture on that show for a long time.”
Brady said that while Moss was a fixture on the field, he’s impressed and inspired everyone with his strength and resilience off the field as well. He called him a brother.
“I love you more than anything in this world,” Brady said.
In classic Garnett fashion, he saluted him with a “Randy…Moss…!”
“One day at a time, man,” Garnett said. “I love you, man.”
Moss teared up and called himself a “cry baby,” but it was clear the gesture meant a great deal.
“It’s been hard, but I’ve got a lot of love and a lot of people believing in me, man,” Moss said. “I’m happy to be here, man.”
