Randy Moss bluntly shades Tyreek Hill over his ‘nowhere all-time' NFL standing
Randy Moss doesn't think Tyreek Hill has the chops to match the wide receiver greats. The Pro Football Hall of Famer dragged the Dolphins pass-catcher in an interview with the South Florida Sun Sentinel last week, telling the outlet that Hill doesn't belong in the conversation of best receivers ever. 'He's nowhere all-time,' Moss said. 'Where is he at in today's game? Tyreek Hill is probably top five. I put him top five.' Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (10) heads out onto the field during player introductions before the start of an NFL football game between the Dolphins and the New England Patriots, Monday, Sunday, Oct. 29, 2023 in Miami Gardens, Fla. AP Hill, 31, caught a stray from Moss after a disappointing 2024 season. After finishing with at least 110 receptions and 1,200 yards through the air in each of the three previous seasons, Hill had just 81 catches for 959 yards in 17 games, both totals his fewest since he played just 12 games in 2019 with the Chiefs. It was the first season Hill failed to make the Pro Bowl in his nine-year NFL career. Hill ranks 42nd in both career receptions (798) and receiving yards (11,098), giving him a long way to go to catch up to the all-time best at the position.

Getty Images He's a bit higher in career touchdowns (82), ranking 30th all-time. Moss, of course, has long been in the conversation for best wide receiver ever, sitting second in receiving touchdowns (156), fourth in receiving yards (15,292) and 17th in receptions (982). And if you ask him, there's no doubt in his mind where he sits among the NFL wide receiver legends. 'Is that a real question?' Moss told the Sun Sentinel after he was asked where he ranks. 'Are you being political or are you being real? 'Because if we're talking political, we'll say Jerry Rice. If we're talking real football, where I knock your ass out, it's me.'

"We get to talk once a week": Jason Kelce hails Travis as a ‘great uncle' and the ‘best friend' he could ever ask for
Jason Kelce's praise for Travis leaves NFL fans in awe (Getty Images) Jason Kelce has always been vocal about his admiration for his younger brother, Travis Kelce . But in a recent heartwarming interaction at the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe, the retired Philadelphia Eagles center took it a step further by calling Travis his 'best friend on the planet. ' Jason Kelce's rare emotional words about Travis Jason and Travis, now arguably one of the most beloved sibling duos in sports and entertainment, showed just how tight-knit their bond has become. Speaking with reporters on July 11, Jason admitted that while they've always been close, things have changed for the better in recent years—especially since they launched their chart-topping podcast, New Heights. 'Travis and I have been close for a long time,' Jason told Starcade Media. 'Now with the [New Heights] podcast, we talk to each other more than we ever have. We loved each other growing up. We still love each other. Now it's more like peer to peer, whereas growing up, being the older brother, it was a little bit different.' This weekly podcast, known for its candid takes and viral moments, has not only connected them with fans but also deepened their personal connection. 'Now, he's my best friend on the planet,' Jason added. 'We get to talk once a week and our families are close. He's a great uncle.' That admiration extends beyond the mic and into family life. Jason, who shares four daughters with his wife Kylie Kelce, frequently credits Travis for being a hands-on uncle. 'Travis has great advice. He's a great uncle. Outstanding uncle,' Jason shared in a past New Heights episode, recalling how Travis joked about handing the kids back after some fun time. Their father, Ed Kelce, was also present with them at the Lake Tahoe event, symbolizing the strong foundation that their family values are built upon. Despite their enormous fame—especially with Travis now dating global pop icon Taylor Swift—the Kelce family remains grounded. Jason acknowledged that while fans love the brothers' online chemistry, they're careful to preserve their private lives. 'I think we try to share the right amount on the internet, the viral moments and whatnot. But you also try to keep some of the stuff private… We're a family that loves each other, we love being around each other.' Even Travis couldn't hide his affection for his nieces. During a Super Bowl 2025 press conference, he gushed, 'Those girls warm my heart. They're the absolute best.' From football fields to podcast charts, and now golf greens, Jason and Travis Kelce continue to set sibling goals—not just through fame, but through the authentic, unshakeable bond they share.
