You argued profusely with me about that and all I did was report what I heard. I can't tell you if he's the dumbest smart guy around or the smartest dumb guy around. I've never met him.

But there must be something about his personality that makes people believe he's not the sharpest tool in the shed, whether that's true or false.
I don't doubt you that he's not into football all that much.

I doubt anyone who says he isn't smart.

And I already said it's clear he's an introvert. It's VERY easy to mistake a quiet, private person as suffering from a lack of intelligence.

All that said, if he permits Pioli to keep his job? He's not very sharp at all, and Pioli is taking advantage of him.

I think that's quite a leap. Everyone knows that even though he gained his wealth through birthright, he's done nothing but build upon it, not tear it down. Fellow owners mentioned that he was crucial to the NFL CBA of 2011, so he's obviously sharp.

Since I've never had the opportunity to met and interview him, I obviously can neither confirm or deny your statement but there must be something in his personality that makes people believe, at least in the beginning, that he's not as sharp as one would expect.

Blaming this particular journalist for his experience and opinion is silly.

In my experience it's never wise to try and gauge someone's intelligence based on how they come across in a conversation. Intelligence and communication skills don't always go hand-in-hand.

Laughing at the guys who probably scrape shit for a living saying just because Clark was a valedictorian at SMU doesn't mean he's smart.

Just because you're not book smart doesn't mean YOUR version of smart is equal to book smart. It's not. Not even close.

Agreed

Valedictorian is NOT an award you can buy, it's meritorious. I don't particularly care for Clark as an NFL Owner, but people trying to paint him as dumb, really need to check themselves.

Nobody has ever heard of an educated idiot? You can have all the book smarts in the world and not have an idea of how to do many things. I would have to know in what context that this person believes Clark isn't smart. It might be that she doesn't believe he has the business acumen to be doing what he is supposed to be doing. We're all guessing here. It needs to be put in context.

Sen. McCain claimed a few months ago that Amb. Rice wasn't smart and she's a Rhoads scholar.

For the purposes of talking to this dumb**** NY Post reporter, Clark's educational background suited him just fine.

You can say he's a bad owner, but it's dumb as hell to call him stupid.

Book smarts will get you most places you need to go if you have the right attitude and commitment. I don't think Clark is a case of an educated idiot.

Are we to debate the clinical differences between making really bad choices when you have all the apparent faculties and resources needed to make great choices, and being stupid?

I guess "stupid" is less than being clinically reeruned, "reeruned" being based in chromosomes. So I guess we'll define his innate ability to make bad choices, without the apparent defense of chromosomal challenges, as being "a bad owner" but not stupid...

Dare I ask how we factor the money-grubbing gene into the chromosomes conversation. It may be having an impact on the performance of this team..

That dumb **** didn't do his homework before spouting off at the mouth. You have to have some intellect to be a valedictorian at SMU. He's just not a Wall Street type con artist. Knowing how Lamar was, Clark is probably as down to Earth as one can be with that kind of money. **** this guy.
