JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Why did this alligator cross the road? It was probably trying to get away from this guy.
Known as the Blue Collar Brawler, Mike Dragich helped Jacksonville police and Florida Fish & Wildlife on Sunday getting a big alligator off of a Southside road.
Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office shared video on its Facebook page Monday.
JSO “joined forces with Florida Fish & Wildlife, the Florida Hoghway Patrol and none other than local gator-wrangling legend, the Blue Collar Brawler, to wrangle this beast off the road and keep everyone safe,” the post states. “Just another totally normal day in the Sunshine State.”

Seeing that twitchy type of male energy is getting more rare now days when even fighting is a crime and woman raised boys rarely move quickly and aggressively.

Bama fans haven’t had reason to fear the gators since the 2008 Florida Tebows. LOL

Bama went 7-6 in the “midget’s” first season in 2007. In DeBoer’s first season last year Bama went 9-4. So far, the new monster is tracking better than the last one.
