When Sinorice was drafted to the Giants in 2006, he knew he wanted to work with youth. With his new foundation ‘Dare to Dream’, it’s his mission to help empower them with the proper mentality of making dreams come true and to provide them with the educational tools to succeed in life.

Born in Miami, the single 26-year-old played college football at the University of Miami. He helped form the Moss Foundation with his older brother, Santana Moss, a wide receiver for the Washington Redskins. The two donated more than $250,000 for training
camps, community fairs and other school projects.

Let’s see what else Mr. Moss is up to…

Kim: Tell me about Dare to Dream:

Sinorice: I had the idea my last year of college. After I graduated, I joined with my brother’s foundation, The Santana Moss Foundation. I let his organizers know what I wanted to do with my foundation. I wanted to get within the school board, in any state, in
any city, and start tutoring programs, mentoring programs and scholarship funding. I want kids to know they can accomplish anything. I want them to Dare to Dream EVERYDAY. It can be something simple like finishing a paper or project or graduating from college.

Kim: I’m looking at the website and I see you have a Ms. Black Program. Tell me about Ms. Black.

Sinorice: Ms. Black was my guidance counselor at Miami Carol City Senior High School. She did so much for the students because she wanted to see us succeed. She wanted to see us go to college and further our education. It didn’t matter if you were popular or not. She went out of her way to get financial waivers for us to take the SAT. Those tests were expensive, like $50-$60 per application! A lot of parents didn’t have the money for that
expense. Especially if you had to take it more than once. She was able to get waivers for us so that money wouldn’t be an issue. Sadly, she passed away two years after I graduated from high school. Everyone always had great things to say about her like, “Guess what Ms. Black did for me”. She went out of her way to make sure the kids could take the test, pass it and move on out of the community. Nothing was about her. Everything was about us. It spoke volumes about who she was. I just wanted to dedicate that program to her. Any counselor, teacher, administrator, or school that’s currently out there doing what she did for us, I want to represent them through my foundation.

Kim: Did your personal experience in high school prompt you to create Dare to Dream?

Sinorice: It was the experiences of others that gave me the idea. After I finished school, I’d come back and friends and neighbors would tell me how poorly the schools were doing. I asked myself what could I do to help them. Since I played football, the community looked at me as a role model. They wanted me to speak to the students and encourage them to do well in school. That’s when I had the thought of starting my foundation. Each year I want to go into elementary and high schools to dare the kids to
keep dreaming. They face so much outside of school. They may not have a mom and dad at home. For some kids, their parents may be very, very young and are not on top of things like my parents were. My foundation gives me an opportunity to say “I care”…”I believe in you”…”I don’t know you, but I know if you apply yourself in school, you will succeed”. The kids see me on TV doing my thing, but that’s not what I’m about. I’m about education.

Kim: I’m often a speaker for Career Day at elementary and middle schools. 95% of the boys say they want to play in the NFL. What would you say to the ones who’s thinking about football as a career?

Sinorice: I would tell them to pursue that dream. It’s important for them to know life is not just about football. I was blessed with the opportunity to play, but everyone will not play in the NFL. I know some great ALL STARS and unbelievable athletes who grew up with me, but they’re not in the league with me. They went through so many things in life. Unfortunately, they based their whole life on “I’m gonna make it to the NFL”, and that’s not what it’s all about. There’s so many careers you can choose from in this world to be
successful. Find out what it is and apply yourself. You CAN do more than play football.

Kim: Let’s switch gears. The two main things you tweet about are God and your son. Tell the readers why it’s important to have a solid relationship with Christ.

Sinorice: It’s very important in my life. I know I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for Him. His grace and mercy has led me to meet so many amazing people. He’s blessed me with so much, it’s only right I praise Him everyday. I roll over every morning and say
‘thank you’ because I have a new opportunity to become greater. I’m not perfect, but I know He’s the reason for everything.

Kim: On Twitter you don’t seem like the stereotypical NFL player. What makes you different?

Sinorice: I let my Twitter supporters see me in a different light. People know me as Sinorice Moss the football player, but I want them to see the man that I am. Don’t look at me as a professional athlete because sometimes we get stereotyped. Look at me as a
man. Pay attention to the things I like and dislike. See the movies I have an opinion on. Recognize the things I do in my everyday life that doesn’t consist of football. See who I am as a man first before you judge me. I didn’t want to get on Twitter at first, but I saw it as an opportunity to reach out to fans and let them know they can talk to me. Sometimes they see me when I’m out and aren’t sure if it’s ok to speak. Yes, speak! (Laughs) As long as you’re not rude. Some people are very rude. Some may not like me or what I do
and they come off rude. Take that somewhere else. If you want to shake my hand or take a picture, I have no problem with that. I will stop what I’m doing to take care of what my fans want. It’s all about the fans.

Kim: It’s great to see a different side of a person. We know them in one particular role, but Twitter allows us to get a glimpse of them in their everyday life…outside of what
they’re known for.

Sinorice: Yeah, I want people to know I’m not just on Twitter hiding behind my BlackBerry saying positive things to sound good…this is really me! (Laughs) The same upbeat, cheery-
attitude guy in my tweets IS the real me. I’m not on social media to have other people say good things about me…it’s not about that. When someone meets you in person, they’d definitely be able to tell the difference, but I’m not that guy. I really mean the things I
say. You can ask any of my friends.

Kim: Tell us what your relationship was like with your parents growing up. How does that play a role in how you raise your 3-year-old son?

Sinorice: My mother and father are still together. They’ve been together all my life. Growing up I saw the love they have for each other and towards us. They had 3 boys growing up in Miami and did whatever it took for us to have what we needed…even if that
meant having several jobs. They took us places I knew we didn’t have the money for, just to make sure we had great experiences. They did what they had to do to make that possible. As I got older, I realized it was unconditional love and it’s only right for my son to
get that from me. When I look in his eyes I see the love he has for me…all I want to do is return it back.

Kim: What do you do during the off season?

Sinorice: I work out very, very hard! (Laughs) I also recently executive produced and acted in a film with Reagan Gomez and Terri Vaughn called ‘This Time.’ It’s directed by Matthew Cherry and produced by Enitan Bereola. I do a lot of charity work and I’m
also into music…I sing.

Kim: Do you really sing?

Sinorice: Yeah…(lol).

Kim: So you’re gonna have a Sinorice Moss cd coming out?

Sinorice: Who knows? I have a best friend who’s a soul singer. His name is Jessie Boykins. He has two albums out that I executive produced. On his recent album I sang background vocals. I’m truly blessed with a lot of talent. I just want to go out and spread my
wealth.

The New York Giants wide receiver is launching a program called Dare to Dream, which asks teachers and high school students to take a pledge expressing their goals, such as improving their grades by the end of the year or applying to college. It then rewards students when they achieve their goals.

Throughout the school year, the foundation works with students to monitor progress and provides support to schools such as books and classroom supplies. Students who accomplish their goals will receive a certificate signed by Mr. Moss and other rewards, such as tickets to a game or a chance to speak at their schools.

Sinorice Moss
“I tell these kids that it’s not going to happen overnight, I didn’t just wake up and become a professional athlete,” Mr. Moss says. “I worked hard and went to college and if these kids and their teachers can dare to dream, they will accomplish what they set out to do.”

Mr. Moss was born in Miami and played college football at the University of Miami, where he helped form the Moss Foundation with his older brother, Santana, a wide receiver for the Washington Redskins. The two donated more than $250,000 for training camps, community fairs and other school projects.

When he was drafted to the New York Giants in 2006, he says he wanted to also work with children in New York City.

“I started hearing about a school system that was failing these students and I wanted to show these kids that someone cared about them and that through education, they can make it,” Mr. Moss says.

This year,he ran a pilot program with Sobro, the South Bronx Overall Economic Development Corporation, which runs after-school programs for schools in the Bronx. About 20 children wrote letters to Mr. Moss, explaining short-term goals to read a certain number of books throughout the year or their dreams of becoming an astronaut. At the end of the summer, Mr. Moss plans to hold a barbecue with participating children to hand out certificates of achievement.

“Growing up in the city, there’s a lot of distractions. We want to get these kids to start dreaming, to start thinking about a future and making the right choices,” says Deidra McKoy, a youth counselor at Sobro.

Sobro works with schools like Christopher Columbus High School, which was among 19 schools Mayor Michael Bloomberg tried to close this year as part of a strategy to shutter failing schools. The State Supreme Court said the city didn’t follow proper procedure and ruled to keep the schools open.

“Many of the kids wrote in their letters to Sinorice that they feared their school was going to close… it felt hopeless, it affected their psyches,” Ms. McKoy says.

The Dare to Dream foundation now looks to expand the program in other schools and create a fellowship for teachers and guidance counselors at participating schools.

To further commemorate its 10th season of “giving back”, the Moss Foundation has taken on the mission of spreading the message of “PEACE” across the country. It all begins in Miami on Sunday, January 31. The Moss Brothers are hosting children at the South Florida FanFest in the Miami Beach Convention Center.

Friday, February 5th, everyone is invited to join the Moss Brothers along with Andre Johnson at Karu and Y for a blowout party unlike any other.

“We had a lot of great athletes, but he was able to instill discipline in us, which allowed us to play at any level. We took that discipline to college and, for those of us fortunate enough, to the NFL. He kept us humble, me in particular. I was a starter for three years, but didn’t catch many balls until my senior year. He kept us humble and patient and then when the time came, he helped us take advantage of the opportunity. He made sure we were in school. Actually, he made us come to school early to watch film so we were there even before the school day started. It is a place that is blessed with athletic talent, kids who are willing to sacrifice, a community that supports the program and good people at the top.”

The only school that has more current NFL players than Carol City? DeMatha Catholic in Hyattsville Maryland. No offense to the private school scholars, but we’re more impressed by the ascent of our hard-scrabble Miamians. And more NFLers call our city their hometown- 31- than any other in the country. As a state, Florida ranked third for current NFL players produced, with a whopping 176.

The beleaguered receiver, perched squarely on the roster bubble, came up big in his final preseason showcase Thursday night, catching two passes for 35 yards, both of which went for touchdowns. That helped jump-start a revived passing offense that was outstanding early before fizzling late, as the Giants lost their preseason finale to the New England Patriots, 38-27.

However, it might not have been a loss for the 25-year-old Moss. Maybe he finally showed the coaches he deserves to stick around.

“I really wish I did,” Moss said. “I wish I did prove that when my number is called I’m able to go out there and I’m able to make plays. When my number was called tonight, I made plays for this team.”

Even Tom Coughlin admitted Moss – who is battling Derek Hagan and David Tyree for the sixth receiver spot – “looked good, played real good and made some nice plays.” The question now is: Was it good enough to earn him a place on the Giants’ 53-man roster, which is due tomorrow at 6 p.m.?

“I really don’t know about all that,” Moss said. “I feel like I’ve been on the bubble since I’ve been here, honestly. But I’ve just been working hard, trying to stay positive about my situation, and every time I step on the field I always try to go hard and do what I have to do to make some plays and prove myself to this team.”

Moss did that by catching a 23-yard touchdown pass from Eli Manning and a 12-yard touchdown pass from David Carr in the first six minutes of the game. However, his mini-explosion came against the Patriots’ third-team defense, which included a wide receiver playing at safety.

The Patriots, in fact, rested almost all of their starters – including Tom Brady and Randy Moss – which helps explain why the Giants were up 21-0 less than 10minutes in. By the middle of the second quarter, the Giants’ passing offense was perfect – Manning was 3-for-3 for 76 yards and a touchdown, and backup Carr was 6-for-6 for 153 yards and two touchdowns, including a 64-yard scoring strike to first-round draft pick Hakeem Nicks, who strained his hip flexor later but said he came out of the game only for precautionary reasons.

“I thought we did well,” Manning said. “We did what we wanted to do in getting off to a great start. We were efficient and effective as a first unit. That’s what you want to see in the fourth preseason game.”

However, the offense stalled after that, behind shaky performances by Andre’ Woodson (6-for-19, 98 yards, one interception) and Rhett Bomar (2-for-7, 40 yards, one interception) as the Patriots came back and then pulled away.

Despite the ending, it was still a better night for Moss than last Saturday night, when he wasn’t used until late in the third quarter of the Giants’ 27-25 loss to the Jets. Last night, the Giants turned to him early and often – throwing in his direction six times in all.

“It felt real good to get out there and have the opportunity to make some plays,” Moss said. “I felt like I did my best.”

Author: Chris Kredible

CK: What’s going on with you? How you feeling?

I’m in New Jersey, just got finish working out about a few hours ago, so I’m just home kicking back.

CK:People forget football players are regular people too.

Yeah most definitely, I consider myself the same as everyone else, just blessed with the opportunity to play football.

CK: That’s what’s up, well I hope you been training hard for this Superbowl run we (Chris is a die hard Giants fan from Harlem) about to have this year.

Man there’s no need for hoping, all I do is train hard.

CK: Alright man, I’m just saying I lost some money last year and I was upset. But you know things happen, we went 12-4 so I can’t complain.

Yeah things definitely do happen (laughs).

CK: So my first question, its always been amazing to me how a family could produce professionals athletes, not once, but twice. So how is that for you? What was football like growing up for you?

It’s good you ask that question. I went home last week and was given a picture of myself, my brother Santana and my dad. I was like 3 years old in the picture, just real small. We had suits on, looking nice. It mad me laugh, because the picture reminds me of my son and my son saw the picture thinking it was him. It just made me say wow. Who would have thought the two of us would go so far. Just one of those moments. Growing up, lots of competition around the house, Santana, myself and my younger brother Lloyd who also played football, he was by far the most athletic outta both us. Santana was always into football, wanting to play catch, and it was always an inspiration watching him do great things and knowing I had the same abilities. It worked out for both of us.

Catch must’ve been crazy between ya’ll.

Funny thing is, I used to stand Santana up all the time. I just wanted to chill sometimes and be in the house. But when we did, it was fun, played lots of throw up tackle in the house even though we got in trouble.

CK: That’s comedy, did your dad play football.

Nah, actually my mom was the athlete and played sports. He kinda gets mad at it at times, but its the truth (laughs).

CK: What’s your relationship like with your brothers?

We real close, I love them to death. But we’re so different. They like to go out to the parties, I like to stay in and kick it. I don’t drink or anything so its just not my thing. But we chill sometimes, but you all do separate things.

CK: That makes sense, you guys do seem to have different demeanors. There must be shit talking at home being that you and Santana play in the same division.

You’d be surprise we really don’t do that. Its more for us to say, “Yo bro, I hope you have a good game, I wish you the best.” Its not about who wins, we just care about each other performing at our best. The year we won the Superbowl, they beat us at home and Santana said to me “Yeah I got one!” And I wanted to say “Man that’ll be the only one you get”, but its all love I just said he got it.

I guess that’s cool, If I had a brother that was on the Redskins I would talk mad shit and tell him we gonna bust their ass.

We don’t play directly against each other though. There would probably be more trash talk if we didn’t play the same position. Like if he was on defense then I guess we would talk trash to each other. But its different, because we both play the same position so we just want the best for each other.

Do you ever get brotherly advice from Santana?

Yeah of course, that’s why I feel like I had a big advantage especially in college. I was able to see him, see how he worked, his passion, things he did right and wrong, he could watch my game and tell me what I did right and what I did wrong. I’m really hard on myself so I study what I do wrong and even when I don’t get advice from my brother, I just think about what he would do.

Santana is a great player and I think the Jets made a stupid move letting him go, but that’s neither here or there.

(Laughs) Yeah.

CK: Florida breeds football talent the way Joe Jackson breeds stars. What is it about being from Florida that translates into good football players?

That’s a great question. I feel like Florida is just blessed man. Just so many tremendous players, the same way Texas and California produces great athletes, they just do.

CK: Is in the water? (Laughs)

(Laughs) I don’t know man, I can’t touch on what it is, but I guess there’s so many guys who want to be successful and that play sports, there’s so much competition so it just makes you better. Whether its schools or your local neighborhood, you got people who are good enough to be in the NFL and whatever professional sport who just never made it for whatever reason. You play against these people all the time so when you go to practice, its nothing major. You get so good playing against all the competition

CK: How is it growing up in Florida?

You have your hard times like growing up anywhere else. You have your hoods, things you think you would never see, I had an opportunity to witness, its just apart of growing up. I grew up in Liberty City, one of the toughest cities in Miami, then moved to Carol City, around the time when it was middle class, but there was still violence all through out Miami. Fortunately I was blessed with two parents who kept us on track, kept in school and stood on us, worked 2-3 jobs to support us and stuff like that inspired me too do good.

CK: Yeah its a harsh reality many people of ethnicity have to face. You’ve been hit with the injury bug a few times. Do you feel any pressure to do good this season?

I don’t feel pressured at all. I look at it like this. You can read whatever you want to read, people write whatever on the internet. I got injured my first year and I’ve been healthy since, few nips and bruises, but I been good. People like to say oh I’m injured prone, but it hasn’t even been serious. I only got injured my rookie year. Everything else might be a sore bruise here or there, it comes with playing football. But I haven’t been injured just to clear that up (laughs)

CK: I remember that.

That’s what being a professional athlete is about. Unfortunately it was my rookie year so that was a set back for me, but I’ve been straight since then.

CK: Ok so you good? My man Q the Question ( Q is a die-hard Eagles fan from Philly) seems to think the Eagles have a shot and I’m trying to tell him we going to bust that ass.

Its good to have your own opinion about different things. If that’s how you feel the Eagles are going to do, you have the right to your own opinion. I can tell you one thing though, the New York Giants and this organization is a team that’s dedicated to winning and being successful and definitely looking for another Superbowl.

CK: Right. So you’re 5′9 right?

Yeah.

CK: So in high school you were probably even smaller?

Yeah I was small man, 5′6 maybe.

CK: That to be a challenge and obviously you got through that making it to the NFL. How did you work around that challenge?

I used my speed and talent. Me being smaller doesn’t mean anything. I have jumping ability and speed. So when I was younger, I would practice at perfecting that. I don’t think size matters.

CK: You got young players who may feel discourage to pursue football, because of their size. For younger upcoming players who are shorter, what advice would you give to them.

I’ve been doubted all my life so I just show people my capabilities. Can’t let people tell you what you can’t do. For people to make judgement on what people can’t do, or I can’t play in the NFL, you’re wrong. To the young guys growing up, you got to realize whatever you wan to do, you must put your heart into it, and do it.

CK: How do you like playing for the Giants? How do you like it?

I love NY period. If I had my choice I’d stay here my whole career. Love NY, teammates, the organization, I just love it here and I feel at home. I love the fans and it just feels good here.

CK: How is it playing for Tom Coughlin?

Man when I first started I heard different things like he’s real strict and wants you to wear certain things going to the game and away. Very hard nose. Hearing that, I was like aww man, something I got to deal with. I remember if he was walking towards me in the hall and I would turn the other way (laughs), because just that aura he has and he might of said something to you that ruined your day (laughs). So it was something I had to get used too my rookie year, but the next year he really opened up and changed. He listened to the players, joked around, and just really became a really great coach and it translated into a Superbowl that same year.

CK: Coughlin gets criticized a lot for his decision making, but I don’t get it because we’ve been successful since he’s been here, we got a Superbowl and went 12-4 last year.

I feel like its unfair to blame coach Coughlin for everything. It comes with the territory, because he’s the head coach, and even Eli. But its on us. Its our job to make plays, its unfair to blame the coaches when very seldomly its their fault.

CK: What’s playing with Eli Manning like?

Me and him are similiar. Both have older brothers who are successful. I remember when Eli was getting bashed and he’s not a leader and this and that. He leads by example, he’s one of the best QB’s in this league, but doesn’t get much recognition. He will never be Peyton, and vice versa. He works really hard. When we won the Superbowl and he was the greatest. Its just unfair how people bashed him and he needs his recognition he deserves.

CK: What are some of the challenges Giants face this season?

Its really hard to say, because we haven’t even started training yet. Once we train I’ll be able to answer that question better.

CK: What are some things you think the Giants could work on, including yourself?

Coming together as a team and staying consistent. Staying on top of our craft, making sure we perform and staying with the same motivation we have when we win games and just making sure that stays with us week in and week out.

CK: Alright I’m not trying to lose money this season.

(Laughs).

CK: The NFC East is not a cornball division, probably if not the best, one of the best divisions in the NFL. All the teams in the division could be potential playoff contenders. How is it playing in that division?

Its a tough division. Every one of those teams could potentially make it to the Superbowl. The Eagles have a great team, the Cowboys can be a really dominant team and if the Redskins get their shit together, lord knows what they can do, their very capable of winning. I really love playing in this division, I get to play against my bro twice and just overall just such a good division.

CK: What can you tell people about the NFL that we wouldn’t know?

Its not just what you see on Sundays. A lot of people look at it as you play football. Its our job, our life. We work Monday through Sunday. I put my heart into this. We work so we can perform. We also do lots of charity outside of football, its not all about playing football.

CK: How do you feel about the whole Plexico situation?

Its a tough situation. He’s a great friend, great competitor, great football player. Wherever he lands he will fit right in, he just that type of guy. He has that “it” factor. Can’t stop him. Now with the whole situation, things happen that we can’t explain, and I wish him all the best. He working out, he’s healthy so he should be straight.

CK: Do you think it is fair the way they treated Plexico?

Man people never realize that playing in the NFL you have a bull’s eye on you, no matter where you go. A lot of guys feel very unsafe because they travel back to their cities and hoods. When you go back, you may think you still have friends there, but there’s lots of jealous people who want what you have and willing to do a lot to get it. Not all your friends are really your friends. There’s lots of people who don’t see that because they don’t have to go through with that. One of the reasons why the whole situation with Plexico went down was, our teammate Steve Smith was robbed at gunpoint a few days before. I think it was Amani “Who said until you had a gun pointed at your head and a light flash in front of you in the matter of seconds you would think you were dead, you would never understand.” I think its sad that professional athletes need to carry around weapons, because I’m regular just like everyone else, but that’s not the reality we live in. As a professional athlete, we’re targets.

CK: What do you like to do outside of football?

I love to sing. Actually own my own independent record label, me and my best friend Jesse Boykins run it, he had an album out on Itunes now. I’m an aspiring actor, I want to do small films and sitcoms. I just got sent a script to look over, and I’m getting ready to knock out a role I got for a small film right before training camp. I’m a home body, love to go to the movies, broadway shows, love being with my family and being with my two year old son. If I could spend all my free time with him, I would, he’s my heart. I would give him the world if I could.

How long you’ve been singing?

All my life, probably really started around 3rd grade.

CK: Did you sing in the choir?

Nah, but I was always singing in church with my cousins. My mom could sing too, she would sing around the house. I wouldn’t go as far as getting signed or anything, I would rather play the background or something.

CK: So its just for the love?

I just love music man. All types of music, alternative, rock, pop, country, r&b, neo-soul, rap. I don’t knock any genre, because it takes so much to do music, so I just really respect it, its hard work to put out an album so I try to listen to anything.

CK: What’s some of your favorite albums? What’s do you listen to consistently?

Aww man, I have so much music. I put my Ipod on shuffle a lot and just jam to whatever comes out the speakers. From Jay-Z to Nas, Common to Mos Def, MC Lyte to Queen Latifah, I got it all, Jodeci to Chris Brown to Ne-Yo. Right now I got Chrisette Michelle playing in the background.

CK: What’s your favorite sport outside of football.

Track and Field, but I also like baseball too. I didn’t have the opportunity to play it when I was younger because down in Miami, Track and Field was always during the baseball season. So I just stuck with track.

CK: What do you watch?

I watch basketball the most, I tend to catch the playoffs more than anything else, but yeah I watch baseball, and sometimes hockey.

CK: You watch sitcoms?

Yeah of course I’m a homebody (laughs).

CK: What’s your favorite shows?

Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, TLC.

CK: That’s definitely a homebody answer.

(Laughs) yeah man, of course ESPN. I love “King of Queens”, “House of Payne”, “Meet the Browns”, I watch “CSI Miami”, “Law & Order”, I was a Criminology major when I went to school so I like to try to figure out cases before the show does (laughs).

CK: Lots of athletes don’t talk about their college experiences, so you went to school for Criminology?

Yeah graduated from University of Miami, December ‘05.

So that’s something you wanted to do if you wasn’t playing football?

Yeah, something I will look into if I wasn’t playing football. I wanted to go to school for architecture but that was too much. But yeah Miami is filled with crime and crooked cops so it was just important for me to get into that. I wouldn’t want to be a police officer but more of a detective or person behind the scenes.

CK: Is it fair to say you would be doing that if you weren’t playing football?

Yeah, well I would really want to be in a sitcom (laughs), but if it came down to that, then yeah.
