First of all, we would to thank the many, many fans throughout this country that wrote cards and letters to The Texas Renegades, America's Team, while we were down. Secondly, we want to thank the SHL for waitin’ and takin’ the time ‘cause we know how important it was, the Challenge Cup it is to the hockey fans, it is to the SHL promotion, and the Texas Renegades, America's Team. With that wait, we got what we wanted, the chance to regain the Challenge Cup. We don’t have to say a whole lot more about the way we feel about some of these other so called teams; no respect, no honor. There is no honor amongst thieves in the first place.
They put hard times on the Texas Renegades and their families. You don’t know what hard times are daddy. Hard times are when the textile workers around this country are out of work, they got 4 or 5 kids and can’t pay their wages, can’t buy their food. Hard times are when the auto workers are out of work and they tell ‘em to go home. And hard times are when a man has worked at a job for thirty years, thirty years, and they give him a watch, kick him in the butt and say “hey a computer took your place, daddyâ€, that’s hard times! That’s hard times! And you SHL trolls you put hard times on this league by talkin’ shit bout the Texas Renegades , that’s hard times. And we all had hard times together, and we admit, we don’t look like the athletes of the day supposed to look. Our belly’s just a lil’ big, our heiny’s a lil’ big, but brother, we are bad. And they know we're bad.
There were two bad ass teams… One was the back to back Renegade cup winners and they're dead brother, and the other’s right here the S24 Renegades. SHL trolls, the Challenge Cup belongs to these people. We gunna reach out right now, we want you at home to know our hands are touchin’ your hand for the gathering of the biggest body of people in this country, in this universe, all over the world now, reachin’ out because the love that was given us and this time we will repay you now. Because we will be the next Challenge Cup champions on this hard time blues. Texas Renegades tour, S24.
And trolls, … Let me leave you with this. One way to hurt the trolls, is to take what they cherish more than anything in the world and that’s the Challenge Cup. We gon’ take it, We been there before. This time when we take it daddy, we gon’ take it for you. Let’s gather for it. Don’t let me down now, ‘cause we came back for you, for that team that died a couple years ago and never got the opportunity to win another Challenge Cup. And we're proud of you, thank god we have you, and we love you. We love you!
