Default Randy Moss ... a card counter?

Who would have thunk it?

From an ESPN article:

"Not as many people talk about his intelligence.

Offutt says Moss is a closet math wiz. He can process numbers well and is hell on wheels at a blackjack table, constantly updating the odds in his mind. Offutt noticed this about Moss when the receiver was just a high school student in West Virginia.

"He had this amazing mathematical gift of doing things with numbers in his head," he said. "I've been an engineer for years, and he's doing things in his head that I do. And he's 17, 18 years old."

Brady said this intelligence translates onto the field.

"I think the thing people don't realize about Randy is his understanding of the game," he said. "He is the smartest offensive football player I've ever been around, from his understanding of the receiver position, his understanding of football, how to get open, how to manipulate his routes, to how to change up his speed."

Do tell why you laugh at the great Moss (AKA the real #88, #84, #19, and #81 - embarassingly I forget his high school #....but hey, unlike Moss - I ain't no numerical wiz) ???

Do you laugh because Tom Brady called him the smartest offensive player he's ever known?


Or....


Do you laugh because you didn't think he could count to 11 because he would run out of fingers and thumbs?
