"Netflix servers right now," he quote-tweeted himself.
The original tweet came from May 2015 when the sports pundit wrote, "Take a look, y’all: IMG_4346.jpeg." The tweet continues to make its rounds on the internet from time to time, proving that the internet is the lone thing that can stay undefeated.

"I don’t even remember who the hell I was talking about here," he wrote.
Meanwhile, Netflix faced a roasting on Twitter. Brands like Blockbuster and Redbox even came after the streaming giant.
