Joe Exotic and Big Ben are pen pals. Sort of.

The infamous Joe Exotic from ‘Tiger King’ on Netflix sent former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger a handwritten letter asking for a favor.

Joe Exotic published the letter to Ben Roethlisberger on Twitter. In the  handwritten letter to Big Ben, Joe Exotic  rants about Carole Baskin, Congress, Freedom, and several other things.

“Hey Ben, not sure if you have heard of me or not. It’s Joe Exotic the Tiger King. As you know the United States of America has kidnapped me so Carole Baskin and PETA could try to pass the Big Cat Safety Act because I’m the only one that could educate Congress why this law should never pass. Anyway they got my a** in prison for now and I need a favor from you, please sir.”

“I have this amazing stepson named Johnny Graham and I promised him an autographed jersey by you because he thinks you are the s–t and he holds you on a pretty big pedestal. There is one on eBay but I don’t have the $600.00 to buy it for his birthday. My fans helped get everything else he wanted I’m just missing your jersey.”

Read The Handwritten Letter Joe Exotic Sent To Ben Roethlisberger below:

“Can you help a man out that is fighting for his own freedom? Every kid needs a hero and you are his!”

“If so, just private message me and my people will go from there.”

“With all the respect, Joe Exotic.”

Big Ben can’t be thrilled about being linked to Joe Exotic, but here we are. Respect to Joe for shooting his shot, that would be an amazing gift for his stepson.

Maybe Big Ben will make an appearance in Tiger King 3?
