definitely not PC and kind of a shame he wrote it but it's his business and he can turn down anybody he wants. Ironic that HL used to be bigger than gobbo but it's a comment said in privacy so you shouldn't be surprised

...eagerly awaiting GobboMom rant.

My reaction to this is that I can't believe Jimmy had the guts to not only ask them, but to post this response here. I'm glad the majority of everyone in this thread supported him. I also can't wait for the day Jimmy gets to rub Howard's face in this.

you should go have words with howard yourself imo

Wow, I just watched the whole thing. Am I alone in thinking Gobbo played that heads up match beyond horribly?

boo [censored] hoo. If Gobbo were in the position Howard was in, running the company and really didn't want someone on the team, I'm sure he would say stuff about people A LOT worse than that. I think he's so particularly acidic because he's trying to get the point across, to keep the FT guy from emailing him Gobbo's retort or something like that.

I've found that most people, once you get to know them, have one or two things about them that could be construed as 'wierd.' So do worry about it gobbo.

3 things.

1. This avatar cracked me up hard.

2. Why is everyones Mom on the boards? Do I need to get my Mom to sign up? How many Mom's are signed up? Any Milfs?

3. Very unprofessional of FTP and Howard. Gobbo seems like a nice guy, mabye a little weird and a bit of a freak, but a nice guy. Only joking Gobbo.

gobbo should respond rebuy style by emailing 100 different different responses until he gets a reaction.

A freak has allowed me to stay in a hotel room in Vegas during WSOP, free of change.

A freak has treated me to outback steakhouse.

I have even harbored a freak in my home.

Conclusion: Freaks are awesome.

Lederer must feel embarrassed, and he probably shouldn't have called Jimmy a "freak," but just to take his side for a minute...

Howard represents FTP and is obviously counted on to make good decisions for the pros who join the team. Fact is, Jimmy, as good a player as he is, does come across a little weird on TV. He IS very young, he HAS made some fairly negative statements about other pros, and it's *probably* true that his type of image is not the image FTP wants to promote. So he was just making a fairly reasonable business decision, even though the way he made it was impersonal and insulting.

But the point is, he wasn't saying it to Jimmy and wasn't trying to harm Jimmy. I blame the FT emailer for outing Howard and showing Jimmy an email Jimmy had no business seeing. Believe me, I've said tons of things about people behind their backs that I only said because I knew it wouldn't get back to them. We all have. Doesn't mean we're all scumbags.

The villain here is FTP, with Howard only being a minor accessory.

QFT.

x2. Still pretty funny though
