I was all in on this Tool and now that entire year from sitting at Mitch's listening to the presser to listening to Boo's precoaching search presser feels like a fever dream. I truly believe in karma and believe that arsehat will reap what he sows...good riddance and go fug yourself Will Wade.

Couple days ago, saw an entire panel on ESPN going after this slimeball. The dude's brand is nationally toxic. Onward and upward.
