Summary? I’m lazy
Here’s the Yahoo article that details his whole life story. Fascinating, really.

TLDR version of a really long article (100% worth the read):
Remarkable life story - which led him to become an acute care nurse, which is what he was doing when he originally became “internet famous” - in his 40s.
His father was shot by a random drunk (survived), and his two brothers were killed in a car wreck. During Katrina, he worked at the hospital for 21 straight days without leaving, and turned to football and art to escape - which is when he began gif making and found TigerDroppings.
I think he’s moved into a different role but is still in the nursing profession now - ETA: Hospice care as of last year.
In the article, he says you can’t make money “blogging” - which was true a decade ago. But I bet some of these content publishers would pay big money to have him on staff - and I don’t think he even knows it.

One of my favorites, wow that was a long time ago.
There was one with Miles stealing the crystal ball from Saban, jumping on a jet ski, and riding off. Can’t find it though :(

LSUFreek should be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Mid-to-late 2000s he posted his amazing GIFs and Farks on the now defunct Soonerfans.com. It was impossible not to laugh. He did some at OU’s expense although I can’t remember them. Getting insulted in that manner by Freek would be the equivalent of getting insulted by Don Rickles.

He posts here from time to time. I’m sure he knows how appreciated his handiwork has been over the years.
