If one was to work on Fox Sports, traveling around to interview players all while providing their thoughts and insights on the league, you’d consider them part of the ‘media’, right? I mean, it only makes sense.

That’s the job of recently hired Fox Sports analyst Randy Moss, who despite being part of the media doesn’t want to be referred to as a media member. In fact, Moss would prefer you refer to him as ‘FOX Football Daily and our Sunday show analyst’. Yeah, I’m not kidding.

Per SI.com:

"“I don’t like that term,” Moss says, on the phone from FOX’s studios in Los Angeles. “I just like being called part of FOX Football Daily and our Sunday show. I am not part of the media. That’s not my label, and I don’t want it to start now. I love the game of football, and this is just a new way for me to be part of the game. Everything from the makeup to the studio to the lights, camera, action, I am enjoying everything. I like to adventure out and learn new things, and this gives me the opportunity to keep learning.”"

Straight media, homey.
