Well everyone, the raffle has come to a close, and the results are in. One lucky winner has been randomly selected to hang out with Troy at the Sports Spectacular ceremony in L.A.! Thanks to netRaffle for processing the selection.

So let’s get right to the point. Ok, take a deep breath. Drum roll please. The Grand Prize winner is…

Big congratulations to Michael Toffee of Las Vegas, NV!!! He and a guest will enjoy an evening with Troy, complete with a pair of tickets to attend the Sports Spectacular 2011 Auction, Dinner, and Award Ceremony on Sunday, May 22, 2011, along with many other swanky accommodations!

    Im so very happy for Michael! I hope he has the time of his life! Im glad to be a part of helping this charity out. Troy, I hope you could one day consider Massey Cancer Center at VCU Hospital in Richmond, Virginia and do some fundraiser’s to help with their research for all Cancer and childhood Cancers too. Im a 4 year breast cancer survivor and this Cancer Center is awesome in doing everything they could to make it possible for me to say Im in remission! I thank my God every day for that!. They have a separate Center within the Hospital for the children’s Cancer center as well. I wish I could see you at James Farriors Charity event in June. Hopefully one day my # 1 wish will come true to meet you one day. Im not going to give up my hope nor did I for my cure. You take care and keep that beautiful Heart of your’s. It’s most precious in the way it cares so much. God bless you always! Love, Kathy H. Burton

    Lucky winner indeed. I wished my bf to won too :-( he’s a big Palomalu fan. We saw Troy at Legoland last March & he was totally stars struck by him. Good thing he didn’t forget to take a picture of Troy with his son ;-) that would be a bummer!

    That day was one the highlight of his life. He then said: “Now I believe dreams do come true” he almost cried. But this raffle gave us a chance to hope… better luck next time ;-)

I am currently working at MCAS New River Jacksonville NC.My sister called today to tell me that our mother is not doing so well and I might have to make an emergency trip to her home.One thing she will always treasure besides her husband, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren is the picture my nephew took of you and her at the LOWES parking lot. She told me that you saiud a prayer for her in spanish and I would love to have it repeated to her before her time comes.As a professional I know time is precious for you are probally so busy getting ready for the season that a visit to my mother would be hard press but if get a chance you could say that prayer one more time it would be the the most preciuos gift anyone could give or call the house, there phone # is 724-898-1779 . I appreciate any thought that might have hope all goes well for you and yours.

      In Germany we say: One can dance only at one wedding!MAP-team!!! Are you crazy? You got your makert-place ( your niche ) already!!! The only thing is to fill it out and not to garnish with extents desired from a few. Leather is from yesterday and there is no daubt leatherbars for instance became less and less. You got a bad idea to a wrong time. If you wish to upgrade your webside the more kinky way just do it with unseen novelties. Where is the precum smear messing the suits, where are the semen spotted silk ties, where are the men jacking into their black budapesters, where are the bosses emptying their used filled condoms on their clerks suits.Wake up, please! This is a suit side the best of the world!

    I’m always a day late, a dollar short…..My youngest son is graduating hs this year. Although he passed all his classes with flying colors, he is a “classified” student. Which means his grades were not “good enough” for scholarships into colleges with football programs. My son has played football for the last 13 years (missing 1 season for torn meniscus surgery, and part of another season due to the other knee needing meniscus surgery) Football has been his life. Even while off season and injured, he could not stay away from the field. It also helped him deal with his brother being diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma back in Nov. of 2009. He was named one of the captains of the team during his senior year and received awards for First Team All League Defense and Most Valuable Defensive Player.
