Darnell Dockett Buys Pet Alligator Nino

July 4, 2011 by Larry Brown • Comments

Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman Darnell Dockett is a wacky dude. He’s big into sharing his life on social media and he’s pretty funny. Last week he actually live-tweeted a run-in with the police during a traffic stop and got public sympathy on his side. Now he’s one-upped that incident: he’s bought himself a pet alligator named Nino, as he wrote on his twitter.

Just before sharing the picture of his pet gator, he tweeted that he was in the everglades messing around with the reptiles. Now I’m wondering if he bought the gator or really just caught it. Hmmm

Alright, it’s time to poll the audience: Who had the better pet, Dockett, Chad Ochocinco, or Carmelo Anthony?
