Here's Fortress prez Mike Novogratz, clad in a snakeskin jacket that he claims to have made himself, getting misty-eyed talkin' wrestling at last week's gala for "Beat the Street” (a program that funds middle and high school wrestling teams).

Fortress President Michael Novogratz: “I just like wrestlers. For me this is about wrestling culture…about male bonding in a lot of ways…there are 450 people here, probably all men.”

wtf
re the tag– pretty sure that’s illegal
Men who enjoy other men in tights “wrestling” with other men in tights = TEH GAY
If you enjoy fake “wrestling”, you may also enjoy fake “women”.
You ARE GAY if you enjoy wrestling.
Does he own Chrysler bonds?
wow
Male “bolding” ????
Meredith will be pleased. Can I buy tickets for Wall Street Smackdown 09?
Note: its high school wrestling that he likes. That not Gay, its pedo.
Hope that snakeskin jacket came with sperm repellent.
@8- middle school too
Saw Mickey Rourke’s recent role as the “Wrestler”. I think he nailed it.
that is the tackiest jacket I’ve ever seen.
-disappointed fortress shareholder
Sir, ‘bolding’ is the preferred nomenclature. It has something to do with shoving an engorged, blunt, object into the Male standing next to you.
References: blunting, bonding & fagging.
How many snakes did he have to kill and eat to make that jacket?
printing all replies?
@15- huh?
You always want a former collegiate wrestler with you if you ever get caught up in a bar fight.
#3 is a closet ghey because he types IN ALL CAPS ZOMG!
I’m sending Thain over to kick you in the jimmie.
capital fucking G
Some forms of the herpes virus (like shingles) can spread via wrestling mats. You may now commence with other humorous observations pertaining to different strains of that virus and its spread.
Heard he just joined NAMBLA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAMBLA
Not that there’s anything wrong with that….
nambla called – they would like their spokesperson back…did the powers that be at fortress approve that little interview?
hell 18 even HS will do — wrestling moves will do you more good in any street fight than most martial arts
SNAP INTO SOME NAMBLA, BROTHER!
@22…actually, there are a lot of things wrong with what that organization is about.
By the way, thanks for the link, no one would have known what NAMBLA is had you not provided it…
@26 I aim to serve the DB public. Any avid fan of Howard Stern would know this. Being a stuck up, humor lacking robot you wouldn’t know that.
@22
I had a summer internship at NAMBLA when I was in the third grade.

Its still real to me, dammit!

@22/27…I’m sure the DB public would be served by your refraining from future postings.
‘Any avid listener of Howard Stern would know that you aim to serve the DB public.’ I’m not sure even you understand your posts.
Just to clarify, I was mocking the fact that you felt the need to post the wiki page for NAMBLA. More than likely, most individuals are somewhat aware of the organization, and as such do not need your guidance. Thank you, baba-booey.
@18 Agreed. There’s no quit in those folks. Pure mean and can take physical pain.
Fuck snakes. Disgusting creatures.
Say it with me – special holds.
31 Just like lax boys.
#3 Batman picked Robin exactly for those reasons. I believe he Wrassled in Superhero Sidekick Middle School too…
too swine, didnt flu
Charlie G aka the steam room bandito also enjoys wrestling
Someone smacked this dude with the fugly stick.
-mrp
the fucking losers on this comment board are making fun of novogratz?
guys, you really gotta get lives. i am pretty sure 95% of the commenters on this site have never even talked to a girl, which is why bess levin is their fantasy date – they never actually have to talk to her or let her see how socially inept they all are. wow.
@39 = novogratz. if not have you even watched the video, novogratz deender? it’s homoeroticism personified.
40 – seriously? you are saying novogratz likes to have sex with males? my point is bess likes to stir you all up by posting stuff like this, so instead of going outside and talking to girls you can post comments on the internet and continue to not be 1/1 million of the man novogratz is. please, get a life.
@41- whether or not this was posted to “stir [us] all up,” (and one could argue that’s the point of DB) the fact is the video is ridiculous. the president of fortress is out in public wearing a SNAKESKIN JACKET, for starters.
“so instead of going outside and talking to girls you can post comments on the internet and continue to not be 1/1 million of the man novogratz is.”
hahahahh
wait, give me a second
okay, hahaha
I love it when Bess gets me all stirred up.
Spunky Soup
God bless that man, tacky jacket and all, for supporting real wrestling. Anyone who thinks wrestling is TEH GAY hasn’t spent much time around wrestlers.
In all fairness Novo used to crush more ass than any Goldman partner before or since. I think he actually left Goldman for it.
50ft serpent?
5 inches more likely.
@45
True wrestling is not the gay. I used to wrestle. However, college wrestlers display a sort of homoerotic behavior that makes even me uncomfortable. They love wearing their spandex out at night and many of them like 300 far too much. They can out-creep anyone.
-former college football player who used to throw soap on guys asses in the shower
He sounds like a gay.
Let’s go corner the nerds and make them show us their penises. That would make them so gay!
/family guy’d
#48- just because you werent good enough to make it as a college wrestler makes it gay? thats a strong point.

@51/52, you’re a gay.
This is an interesting video interview with Mike Novogratz where he discusses global macro trading: http://www.opalesque.tv/youtube/Mike_Novogratz/1
What a bunch of heterophobe commenters
