Wonder if this was his his "first time doing anything like that EVER before in the history of his driving"

Welcome to GoTeamsGo, Gmen, and thanks for joining us. So are we looking at a guy who has a history of rage and out of control behavior here. He's a former Vol, right? So Ross, everyone, was there any reports of this kind of behavior while he was at Tennessee?

Gee, I don't think anybody saw it coming. Whadda Doofus. Well, he went to UT, what do you expect.



fwiw I went to THE University in Tennessee, just so you understand my angst.

Wow... that's quite a rap sheet. Lot's of incidents of violence against offensive linemen -- most of whom were his TEAMMATES! And in college he went after a weapon during practice? Holy cow!

Yeah but if you were on a team like the Titans wouldn't you be so mad that you'd be stepping on people's heads?
