I would just be going off what others say. Some definitely think so. Hes a repole guy. Think he’s an sju grad too. Has done some good things there considering the job.

I don't care who it is as long as he/him has Jeff Capel on speed dial
In the past fiscal year Ed Norton found 2 dollars floating by him in the sewer.
