If you see Randy Moss wearing sunglasses on ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown,” there’s a reason for the choice.
The Hall of Fame wide receiver-turned-analyst opened Sunday’s show by saying he will be wearing blue-tinted glasses because he and his family are “struggling something internally.” Moss has made it clear that he is on the mend.
“I’ve got some great doctors around me. I couldn’t miss the show, I wanted to be here with you guys, I feel great. But if you see me with these Michigan turnover glasses on, it’s not disrespectful,” Moss said. “I’m fighting something.”

In a video posted to Instagram before the show, Moss said the “internal” issue had been going on for the past week and that she would be wearing the glasses throughout the show.
“Throughout the holiday week, your son is struggling with something internal,” Moss said. “I’ve got a great team of doctors and I’ve got a great family around me.”
In the video, Moss added that ESPN insider Adam Schefter called the pair of blue sunglasses “Michigan turnover glasses” — a timely joke in the wake of Michigan’s win over Ohio State on Saturday.
Moss did not provide more information about the illness or the reason behind the glasses, but encouraged people to check with their doctor. “You all get your checkups, get your blood work done and we’ll work through it,” he said.
Moss has been an analyst for “Sunday NFL Countdown” since 2016, and is the longest-tenured panelist on the show.
