I'm retired and arthritic. Apart from ... slowly ... church, family, gardening, woodworking, tinkering with my sports car, trout fishing, family, & etc., all I do is surf NCAA sports and sites related to all my interests. My computer stays on all day and I've got my trusty Droid in my pocket. I bet I'm on line twice as much as most.
That said, I cannot ever remember anyone on any site I've ever been to pulling a stunt like this.
Mr. Martin pulled himself out of the hell of poverty and slum gangs through football. As a high schooler he heard the gunshot that killed his brother. He was determined NOT to live that life. He came to Tennessee, patiently waited his turn behind Manning, and LED OUR TEAM TO A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. He was not a great QB, he WAS the RIGHT QB for a team not loaded with stars, it was loaded with team players. Along the way Tee set the NCAA Record for Consecutive Passes Completed at USCe.
No, Tee wasn't a great QB, but he was much better than average.
As I said before, after he tried other things, he hung around Knoxville trying to get on staff to start a CFB coaching carrer but UK picked him up. Then USC. And, on signing day, in his own office, while discussing recruits from all over the nation, he comments on one who PLAYED IN ONLY ONE GAME his senior year, and that comment is, .... now get this ... "he's soft".
Well dang it! He is! Jalen Hurd IS soft! He ain't had pads on for most of this whole year! He's rehabbing fer ... ah.
Anyway, this hive of hornets takes offense at the evaluation of a junior grade professional to others he works with in his own office that happens to get caught on an open mike. And he gives the correct evaluation. If Jalen had been an out of state recruit all I'd have heard is how "he's injured, we don't want him" like the kid from Carolina last year who wound up not enrolling.
