Randy Moss Calls In an Old Debt, Not Getting Straight Cash

Lending people money almost never works out the way it should. Usually the lender gets screwed and the two individuals end up with a pretty hearty dislike for each other. Former Minnesota Viking (Oakland Raider, New England Patriot, Minnesota Viking [again], and Tennessee Titan) Randy Moss learned that sad truth, and finally got his payday 7 years later.

Moss lent $160,000 to a hair salon owner by the name of Kelvin Jones in 2005 while he was playing with the Oakland Raiders. Jones took the money with the intent of starting a fancy hair salon in Palm Beach, Florida, and he would repay Moss in a pre-structured 96 installment payment plan. Fast forward 7 years, 4 teams, and one collection attempt later, and Moss hadn't seen any of the money Jones owed him.

Moss was finally awarded his money this week after a judge heard testimony from both parties, including information about how Jones ignored a previous lawsuit over the matter. The judge ordered Moss be paid back his $160,000 plus an additional $62,000 in interest, fees, and penalties.

The check is supposedly in the mail. Unfortunately the judge wasn't able to make Jones pay in "straight cash, homie" - hopefully the check is good.
