. . . with FOX

I talk when I wanna talk.

Hopefully, Randy Moss won’t apply that twist to his on-field epitaph when he’s sitting in the TV studio.

The future Hall of Famer has a tentative deal with FOX, a source with knowledge of the situation tells PFT. The deal isn’t finalized, but no glitches currently are expected. (Especially if he’s paid a certain specific way.)

The full scope of his duties isn’t currently known, but Moss is expected to contribute to FOX Football Daily on the new FOX Sports 1, a show that will feature Curt Menefee, Jay Glazer, Brian Urlacher, and Ronde Barber. Moss also could appear on the new all-sports network on Sundays, too.

A colorful figure who could have been the greatest receiver of all time (in his mind, he was), Moss will likely say what he thinks without pulling punches or kissing butts. And that will make him compelling.

The question is whether he’ll stay interested and engaged. The novelty of television can wear off quickly for former players who need to approach broadcasting as fans — especially during production meetings and seemingly endless rehearsals.

I talk when I wanna talk.

Hopefully, he’ll choose to talk a lot, because he could have good insights, and he’ll deliver them in an entertaining way.

No, that is what will make him annoying, ... Menefee, Glazer, Urlacher and Barber all know how to act in front of a mic, I think Randy's gonna' be odd-man-out on this one and there'll be some theatrics, no doubt.

Does he have to pass a piss test?

Maybe they can try to do a-la-cart announcers like everyone wants to do with cable companies and paying a-la-cart for the channels you want. That way they could play the game on TV and you pick and choose which 2 bobbleheads you want to listen to.

Dear god you must be kidding me. Stupid is as stupid does.

Lets give the man a chance. Fire Deion Sanders

SloMotion

Yeah, from that perspective ... I'm not crazy about Neon Deion either, but at least when he's offering up a viewpoint it's from a man who played balls-to-the-wall & didn't quit on his routes (so-to-speak) like Moss. I think that's what would bother me most about Moss trying to tell me anything about a game, the fact he never really played a full one.

Hell just go ahead and put T.O. up there with him, ensuring I will never watch a pre-game or halftime again. More time to drink and grill, I guess.

Crusader

Well its Fox, they have never been known for their good judgment.

A man so great, whenever a receiver catches a jump ball like pass we scream "Moss'd 'em!". Moss is the man! And I love Deion and Irv Dogg on NFL Network. Marshall kind of bores me...T.O. and Chad would be good at this too.
