This show-cause is great for Pearl.

He was a mediocre coach while being a great promoter. The fact that he was the equivalent of pond scum in both his personal and professional life means something to many of us.

I will guarantee if he didn't wear orange suspenders you would be in the camp of calling him scum as well. The guy is a liar. Plain and simple.

What did it mean to you? How did it change your life in any way? Good F'n Lord. Yeah, that dirty ol' pond scum bastard!

Yeah, I'm sure you slept so much better knowing that you hate the man because he is an adulterer and you got to talk about him on a message board. I'm sure that'll give you some brownie points with your God some day.

Personally, I could give two sh*ts if he's in a whore house every night or visiting a Buddhist temple. There are a helluva lot of people who are monogamous, but are complete braying jackasses in the game of life. This board has quite a few obviously.

And every bit of his ignorant moves are part of public knowledge. No one is sticking their nose in anything.

And good for you not giving two sh*ts. Less people yelling "Broooooooce" in TBA and just showing up to hope for a free Chick-Fil-A sammich is a good thing.

Yes, and all the posters on here who talk about it 24/7/365 like a bunch of old, damn women at a bridge club is some good stuff.

I've been going to games long before you were even thought of kid. But, hey, I'm sure you'll get extra tickets because you think Bruce is such a bad person because he decided to boink someone outside of his marriage. Maybe you can become a monk one day.

A piece of trash that claims to be the last good guy standing in college athletics doing the crap he was doing doesn't bother you in the least bit?

Of course it doesn't. Because you, like so many other mentally deficient folks, are only concerned in the charisma bull**** that you bought into. Don't for the first minute believe that you were duped. Of course not, it was the NCAA, Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, Unicorns and Bob Marley who had it out for Bruce. And it was folks like myself who called it from the start that he was a piece of trash who tipped them off.

I, for one, will be so happy that this level of moronic thinking will not have to be listened to during the basketball season this year. A good start will be to put you on my Ignore List. Might as well start now.

You're not responding to what others have said: if someone isn't trustworthy in their private lives, there's a good chance that they're not trustworthy elsewhere.

I certainly don't believe that this is true across the board --people aren't that black and white --but knowing that someone cheats on their husband or wife makes my antennae go up if I have to deal with them socially or at the office. It's not a question of considering them immoral; it's a question of whether they keep promises when it becomes inconvenient for them.

No, because I don't go around gossiping like a bunch of old damn women about something that doesn't have anything to do with my personal life. I could care less. The only mentally deficient one is you who thinks it somehow changes your life in any way. Someone you don't even know that doesn't have any ties to you and what they do yet you act like it affects you personally. Hilarious. Absolutely, freakin' hilarious.

You keep breaking your arm though patting yourself on the back like you "called it". Way to go kid. Bravo.

Why should I have to? I don't care. Maybe I need to type it again. I don't care.

I've worked with people and dealt with people who cheat, lie and steal all the time. It's called the game of life. Happens all the time. When if affects me personally, I then act. When it has nothing to do with me personally or anyone that I know where it could have an affect on me, I stay out of it. Pretty simple.

Just giving you what OrangeBalls would say to you.

That and he's been going to games since the early 40's. He has to keep us "kids" in line.

It's retarded drivel like his that makes coming around almost unbearable. Although worth it in every way to remind them just how retarded they are.

VFL, Orange Balls!

I thought you were putting me on ignore? Why did you lie kid?

:::cues NYYVol::: Why, you're no better than Pearl. Just as I said all along!!!

It's good to know that your moral high horse has kept you afloat all these years. Maybe you can ride in on it as you watch UT play this year. Then you can go talk about it with your lil buddies and slap each other on the back like you're some internet badass.

Yep, I'm retarded for not giving two sh*ts what someone else does in their life that does not make one difference in my life. Meanwhile, Mr. Moral High Horse is crushed when some married guy is balls deep in some other woman that he isn't married to.

Do you watch soap operas too?

Oh, OK, gotcha. Although I'm sort of cheered at the thought of anyone considering me a kid at age 56.

Leaving you two to it, then. :salute:

And it's not that hard to see that people shouldn't give a damn what others do in their personal life when it has absolutely no bearing on their own personal life. That's the paparazzi rubber necking culture we live in where everyone wants to know someone else's business.

Maybe people need to get a damn life and they wouldn't be so worried about what other people are doing.

You just don't get it.

Sure, it's not our business what their personal life is. However, how someone acts in their personal life is more than likely how they will act in their professional life also.

When the Pearl stuff came out in September, I wasn't that surprised. Why? Because he did the same thing to his wife. He cheated and lied to her. He cheated and lied to UT and the NCAA.

Now, should we go and dig up everything about everyone? No. But still, the point is this. When you hear about what people say about Pearl and what came qout about Pearl personally (and there have been a multitude of the former by all sorts of posters) it shouldn't be a surprise he cheated and lied in his professional life. It's who he is.

No, I get it. I absolutely get it. I get the hate that a number of posters have and the spittle that must fill up their computer monitors as they vilify Pearl because it makes them feel better. The worst thing that Pearl did was hurt UT. That is the main thing that most people should be pissed at him about. Whether he hurt his wife is none of our business. I don't give one damn what he did in his personal life.

Sure, what someone does in their personal life usually will bleed into their professional life, but I know a number of people whose marriages were failing and they decided to have an affair. Is it right? No, but it was doomed any way. However, for people on here to think they knew exactly what was going on in Pearl's marriage is a godd*mn joke. You, me or anyone else outside of Pearl and his wife didn't know the whole story and I don't pretend to nor do I care to. For people to try and tether the two together not only is pathetic, but sick. Again, get a damn life. It's none of your business.

I can roll with the notion that someone who cheats in their personal life is more likely to cheat in their professional life when the going gets tough, but as someone said before, people are not always black and white. So, while it turned out to be the case with Pearl, it isn't always true. Therefore I wasn't ready to judge him as a cheater within his profession until I had proof of such, based simply on the fact that he was unfaithful in marriage.

As a promoter, he brought Tennessee basketball to heights never seen. He did the same as a coach, and I liked Pearl as a floor coach 90% of the time. As a recruiter and talent evaluator, I do think he lost sight of the type of players that made his teams successful, and fell victim to obssessing over "athleticism" versus players with basketball skill, which we saw play out on the court this past season among the distractions. There was plenty of atheticism to go around but very little discernable basketball skill.

His personal affairs at home had no direct effect on his ability to do his job, though it could be argued that the general neglect of his vows indirectly carried over into his professional affairs.

What rubs me the wrong way are comments like those from the original poster. Childish comments about barbecues, his personal life, his tan, etc. are all comments that have no substance in the grand scheme of things and are only used as "filler" to run him further through the mud without really getting into the heart of what made him good or bad as the basketball coach at Tennessee.

Well, if that's your stance, I'll repectfully leave you to it. You, like Hat and a few others, obviously have a personal vendetta with the man that extends beyond and before his transgressions at UT and your opinion is stubbornly unflappable. To each their own I guess. I choose to move on and let Pearl do the same.

Whining to the press and continuing along with the same lying lifestyle is hardly moving on.

Did it ever occur to the Bruce lovers that maybe you should give Martin a chance to actually fail before claiming Pearl king of Knoxville again? I'm glad for what he's done for UT but it's over. :thumbsup:
