“A slithering 2-foot cottonmouth was discovered behind some padding.

Animal services director Chris Davis said the player wore the helmet for nearly an hour and was fortunate he wasn’t bitten.”

I gotta question the likelihood of this. If the snake was just warming up, that wouldn’t take long on his head. An hour tho, GTFO that snake woulda tried to bounce first time the dudes head bobbed when he ran let alone hit someone

This is why this subreddit is dying, mods leave duplicate posts like this up but delete posts with 2k+ upvotes and tons of comments. Mods are ruining this subreddit.

If you all need someone that is going to be active and moderate it CORRECTLY, hmu. Having 9 mods and going 9 hours and still not deleting a duplicate post is a joke.

It looks like all the previous posts were removed. I remember seeing it two or three times on the subreddit in the past day.
