Thaddeus Moss, son of former wide receiver Randy Moss slammed Larry Fitzgerald Sr. for spreading false news about his dad’s newfound battle with an internal health issue. In a tweet that has since gained popularity, Larry Fitzgerald Sr. offered support to the veteran wideout while addressing that the former player has liver cancer.

On December 1, Randy Moss publicly disclosed that he was facing a medical condition, describing it as “battling something internal.” He informed his fans that he might need to wear sunglasses during his on-camera appearances for the foreseeable future. Subsequently, on December 6, ESPN announced that Moss would be taking a leave of absence from Sunday NFL Countdown to address “a personal health challenge.”

Thaddeus Moss, Randy’s son came out, ripping into Larry Fitzgerald Sr. for the relay of misinformation. Thaddeus maintained that Fitzgerald and his dad don’t maintain any regular communication channel. He also expressed that Fitzgerald should verify his sources beforehand.

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 f—ing sources.

Thaddeus Moss replied on X

Thaddeus Moss then thanked Favre.

Brett, the support is appreciated, truly. This is not true. My father will address the world when he is ready to.
