Michelle Beadle played the ultimate trump card on a Twitter troll and embarrassed the person enough to the point he deleted his Twitter account.
A guy named David Cochran who has a history of tweeting out nasty remarks towards sports media members went overboard Monday with a tweet directed at female sportswriter Molly Knight. Knight offended Cochran by saying America could unite over its desire to see Florida State lose:
We, as a nation, might disagree on politics and Love Actually– but we can all agree Oregon needs to clobber Florida State.

Cochran, who is a big Florida State fan, sent this nasty response to Knight:
Beadle, who is friends with Knight, wasn’t about to let the jerk get away with his nasty comment. Someone informed ESPN host that the troll in question, Cochran, is a registered sex offender, so she turned the tables on the man:
Hey @d_cochran….less time worrying about boys playing football, and more time not being a molester. http://t.co/vrLbcUv6Hq #FSUTwitter

That links shows our Seminoles fan is a registered sex offender for committing lewd or lascivious acts with someone under 16 and sexual battery with someone under 12.
At least we know the same people who are jerks and creeps on Twitter are also jerks and creeps in real life. No surprise that once he was called out, the man deleted his Twitter account.
