Via HuffPost:
In its continued hiring spree, Fox Sports is reportedly hiring former wide receiver Randy Moss as an NFL analyst. On the surface, this appears to be a very strange hiring as Moss’ press conferences especially with New England and Oakland could border on the bizarre. But there was no doubt that Moss was a character when he played.
Pro Football Talk is reporting that Moss is on the verge of signing a contract with Fox Sports 1. While his role hasn’t been defined, it seems that Moss will be joining the new one-hour Fox Football Daily show which would air at 6 p.m. ET. Already confirmed as castmates are Ronde Barber, Jay Glazer. Mill Hill, Jay Glazer, Curt Menefee and Brian Urlacher. This could be a very eclectic mix especially if Moss doesn’t hold back and does not have a filter.
