Just when you thought you had heard the last from Joe Exotic, AKA The Tiger King, heeeee’s baaaack!

The last time Joe Exotic made any news he was writing a NFL quarterback from prison asking for a favor.

Guess what? He did it again.

Last time, it was Ben Roethlisberger that Joe Exotic hit up for help acquiring one of Big Ben’s jerseys for his stepson.

This go ’round it’s Joe Burrow. (Hey, at least he is sticking to the same NFL conference and division.)

Here’s his letter to “Joe Burrows”…

“I see the news, magazines as well as yourself calling you the Tiger King,” Exotic wrote. “Everyone in the world is exploiting me and and my trademarks while I sit innocent in an American Federal Prison. I have been the Tiger King before you got out of high school. Tiger King is my trademark and intellectual property. My life has been destroyed … while you all ride fame and attention off my life’s work.”

First of all, no one calls Joe Burrow “Tiger King.” Especially after he publicly said he didn’t want to be called “Tiger King.”

“I do not like that one that much,” Burrow said in 2022. “I don’t like that show. I have not seen the show, because I don’t like seeing animals in cages. I don’t really like that. So I didn’t see the show, [and] I don’t like that nickname.”

“Since everyone is enjoying the fame of being the Tiger King and I am suffering wrongfully in prison in a cage, how about doing a good deed and helping me raise $20,000 for a down payment to hire attorneys,” Exotic continued.

“Maybe paying it forward, God might help you get to the Super Bowl this year, and I could go home for Christmas. Then we can work together to stop animals from being in a cage.”

Joe Exotic and Joe “Burrows” working together… dare to dream, people. Dare to dream.
