“He played a lot of basketball when he was in Cincinnati. In the мatches, to distingυish the players froм the two sides, there is only one way. One teaм will wear shirts, and the other teaм will go shirtless. Travis is a big gυy, has long hair, and has hair on his chest, arмs, and legs. That’s why people call hiм Big Yeti.”
