Troy if he is in the same condition as tampa should have this in the bag

I recommend banana pancakes.

Can't forget about the "champ" Ben White, and D. Charles...if he comes in dialed...then we got The HOUSE.

It's going to be a battle without a doubt!

I wonder if Henry will be able to hold of Raymond!
