Can’t believe people care what this guy says. He’s literally a monkey pulling crap out of his ass and throwing it on your screen.
June 20th, 2012 at 8:26 PM
This guy is a fucking twat. Just ignore him.
God dammit TBL, stop posting about these douches, like him and Cowherd. You just contribute to them never going away.

Yeah but Rovell once replied to one of TBL’s tweets, proving that TBL is big time. Also a few more posts like this and TBL will get to spend another day with Jay Bilas.

Feels appropriate and fitting. A douchebag joins the Douchebag Kingdom.

Verna Christopherson, 79, and son Mark were driving home to St. Petersburg, a few bucks richer after a night on the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino slot machines.
By the time they spotted the alligator in front of them on the highway, it was too late.
The car ran over it and launched several feet into the air.
The gator went flying, too.
“He was real fat,” said Mark Christopherson, 56.
