Maybe that is why Randy's side business is a SouthEast version of Jamba Juice. To open a smoothie franchise requires a different thought process and insight than standard franchsises or restuarants because a planning is required for success.
Nonetheless, I have not ever heard of a Black Man that runs as fast as Randy being addressed by his intelligence. I usually hear how fast he can run or how high he can jump.
Marshall Faulk was the smartest person on the Colts when he was there and no one ever seemed to mention his football IQ.
This is the first time in my life where a freakish black athlete is called intelligent. Usually African American freak athletes get termed as instinctive. Greg Lloyd was an electical engineer playing football like myself. Our intelligence was never discussed, even though it was our stength.

in actuality the quote was the smartest WR they have ever been around- is there a difference between being a smart WR and a smart individual? i say yes- do i think Moss is dumb? no- i think he is country, rich at a young age, immature earlier in his career- and frankly someone that had no reason to be motivated ( when in oakland) nobody questioned him in minn-other then having a strong desire to smoke weed- if he wasnt concerned with his legacy while in oakland then why should the public? the whole time he was there jerry porter was a 100 times worse in regards to attitude, effort, and respect. it is funny- Moss is becoming Brady's harrison- who would have ever thought of that
One of my coworkers grew up in the Garden District of New Orleans and went to high school with Payton. He said he was the dumbest person alive. I mean real dumb. So I agree that there is a difference between types of smarts. I just think that it was neat to hear a black athlete complimented on his intellgience on any front(real life or sports) because it's rare.
