obviously, not a florida fan, and not a big fan of the mouth on Noah, but after watching him against somebody o/t TN....i got to say, the kid is just plain good. Florida's lucky to have him.....and i can tell you this much, i'd take him on my team.

He is good but he is a jerk. He has no composure whatsoever.

You've met Noah personally? Spent some time with him? Made the judgment that he's a jerk based on sound evaluation of your direct observations of him as a person as opposed to guessing based on 30 seconds' worth of interviews over the course of 7 months of a season?

I didn't think so. Watch who you call a jerk. Uncalled for.

Oh, and by the way, your comment about composure made me laugh out loud. Bruce Pearl: Model of calm and cool, isn't he?

Gosh, I can't tell. Something wrong with me for witholding judgment on people's character if I haven't met them?

If you want to call him annoying, I have no problem with that. I thought Spurrier was annoying when he was at UF and I said so. I can see how Noah would be aggravating to watch, especially if he has taken an arch rival to the Final Four (that got anything to do with your posts?). But let's hold off on the personal attacks on people we don't know anything about.

I won't call Pearl a showboating jackass or some of your players crackheads (oops) and you don't call UF players jerks or a-holes or anything similar if you haven't met them. Deal?

Haven't you seen the threads on the volboard about coaches? It doesn't stop them there so why would it in this case? Who cares if they have met them, they watch them on TV.

Some need to watch him play some more games. Like him or not, he's a heck of a player.

Thanks for that post utvolpj. Sorry if I reacted really strongly to this but it is a pet peeve of mine when people cross the line between making an honest objective judgment (i.e. he's a good player, or he's annoying) versus anything normative, like he's a jerk. I expect that in a loud sports bar, but not on this board. Too many good folks on here with interesting things to say to get bogged down with personal attacks on people that we don't know and aren't available to defend themselves. And so with that I won't get bogged down in it, either, and I'll just end my participation in that part of the thread.

First of all LG, only one of our players is a crackhead; the other one is a pothead. :D And if it only took two losses for flamoyance to turn into "showboating jackass", there's no telling what you'll be calling him in a couple of years.

Just like the time when I had an avatar of my 2 friends that were professional wrestlers, right? Do you recall what you said about them?

Well, if I said anything along the lines that they may like each other in a romantic way, it was based on my objective judgment based on the simple fact that they are male wrestlers. I am sure I did not say they weren't nice people. In my world, we call something like college male wrestling "res ipsa loquitor," which loosely means "the thing speaks for itself."

Thanks for making my point. You contradicted yourself. It's ok for you to say something bad about someone that someone else likes, but no one can say anything bad about someone you like. Pot meet kettle.

The Naturals. They are a tag team with TNA.

I didn't mind answering you. I just didn't want to be chastised for knowing wrestlers afterwards.

I know how you feel. I once had a 20 minute conversation with Lex Lugar at a Braves game and it took 6 months for my friends to shut up about it. :lol:

Disagree. I was clearly joking if I said or implied that all male wrestlers are gay merely by fact of wrestling. A clearly absurd statement and no way could anyone think it is truly believed. Its an exaggeration across all of male wrestledom and on its face a goof.

On the other hand, people calling Noah -- a particular guy -- a "jerk" is singling one guy out and pretending that the poster has some basis in fact for saying it.

My comment might be off color and silly -- it was intended to be, I am sure. But the comments about Noah are just mean-spirited.

Totally different.

Nope! Get your story straight. You said that they were gay because they had the color pink in their wrestling shorts.

Maybe if Noah didn't have that constant "in your face" attitude, people wouldn't think he was a jerk.

Where have we gone as a society when we can't even make fun of professional wrestlers?
