TB17 0 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 uhhhh, not like that a hole.he's definitely not an a-hole. He may be annoying to some people, but he's a good person. Just because he's outgoing and is borderline nuts, doesn't mean he is a jerk.Are you guys the same kind of people who dont find TD celebrations funny? Link to post Share on other sites
Dogpatch 2 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Just watched his interview with Tiffany Michelle and he seems like a class guy. I don't like a lot of over the top antics at the table but meh. He seems okay.The chacaron video was hilarious though. Link to post Share on other sites
Chicago99 0 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Am I the only one who thinks he's got some sort of tourettes/Rain Man shit going on?I don't know what the medical condition it is, but yeah, that was what I thought too. It's like he can't control himself and then goes over the top to make it seem like he is doing it for fun. Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltBlue 662 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 is this all from the broadcast where he does taht gorilla dance after winning a hand? or has there been a more recent episode since that?He's done it several times now. The most recent episode aired Tuesday night.During his interviews, he seems fine. I doubt he has Tourette's. I had a best friend that had it and it's more characterized by tics than the behavior he's displaying. It appears that he just gets hyperactive when he's excited. Link to post Share on other sites
vbnautilus 48 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Nah, it's not Tourette's. It actually looks to me more like a chorea than a tic, but it's really just him hamming it up. He seems like a nice guy, but it was kind of embarrassing to watch his antics, since it was just a little too put on and was obviously not being received well. Link to post Share on other sites
sandwedge 30 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 A brief hijack if I may...About a month ago, I played in a live game with an old man with Tourette's. Every once in a while, he would just scream "Hey!" extremely loudly, and them would quietly apologize to the person next to him, saying, "sorry, tourette's'.I was in the middle of one of the craziest sessions ever, and it just added that extra surreal twist to the plot. I was really concentrating on the hands that night, and what I found funny was that it took him doing it about five times before I even noticed.and now, back to the regularly scheduled programming...

Fade2241 0 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I hated watching him when I saw the PPV final table. I have to admit I laughed when we said that line about buying junk hondas and driving them into walls. Link to post Share on other sites

David_Nicoson 1 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Are you guys the same kind of people who dont find TD celebrations funny?I hate touchdown posturing as well.

I don't think Humberto's TRYING to be rude when he goes into his shark bit, but it is. Anyways...we've beat this subject to death already. Link to post Share on other sites

SlowPlayedNuts 0 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Not a huge fan of the man but i think the key is that he does not belittle his opponents. He looks like a jackass but that is on him. He never says anything about how poorly anyone has played or mock them in any way. Humberto gets in your face and brings his opponents in to it which I think is completely different. I don't get why the NFL cracks down on Chad Johnson grabbing some pom poms but doesn't do anything about all the guys who get in each other's faces jawing after a 4 yard gain.

Viking145 0 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I played with him on day 6 of the ME and here is my take:He is a nice guy (and very young) who was having the time of his life. I think it looks terrible on TV and it might have seemed inappropriate to some of his opponents, but I do not think he meant to needle or to aggravate anyone. When we got down to 10-handed he was as excited as anyone could be, and I think he may have trouble keeping his emotions in check, therefore, he exploded into his dances and chants, etc. It would not surprise me if this was some form of ADHD expressing itself.Short answer: decent guy, crazy antics, he does not intend anything negative by it.
