But he's still competitive as fuck and wants to win. You can't exist at that level and not be crazy competitive.tepista wrote: ↑19 Mar 2019, 2:18pmTrout ain't like Harper or a lot of these guys.

Wait till he finds out that Kennedy was assassinated.tepista wrote: ↑19 Mar 2019, 5:21pmOn his radio show, (Stephen A.)

There's a limited number willing to pay that money sure but plenty more who would pay a little less and basically any of those 10 teams are competing.
