My Letter from Gary Bettman

So I wrote a letter to the NHL commissioner, Gary Bettman regarding the Coyotes Situation and here is what I got back from him.

Dear Geoff,

Thank you very much for writing me with questions about the situation with the Coyotes in Phoenix. Here is the most up to date information.

We have decided to lower the sale price significantly to ensure a quick sale. We are doing everything we can to keep the Coyotes in Phoenix and with lowering the sale price to under $100 million, we expect the sale to be complete by the end of January. We are 100% confident that the sale will go through to Greg Jamison and the Coyotes will stay in Phoenix. Greg Jamison will be purchasing Jobing.com arena in conjunction with the team to ensure the team stays for decades to come.

We at the NHL appreciate your concern about the situation and I hope you have alleviated your fear.

Sincerely,
Gary "The Hammer" Bettman

If you have not figured out by now this is a 100% fake letter. I wrote it just to show how easy it is to fabricate a letter from anyone and post it on the internet.

My Experience with Roc and Manuch

People following the Coyotes ownership situation have certainly heard about Roc from Roc and Manuch. Roc has been tweeting that he knows someone in the Jamison ownership group and has been given the privilege of tweeting out insider information about the sale.

Roc has never given his source nor has the Jamison ownership group confirmed they have any relationship with Roc. The other day he tweeted that the Jamison group was out of the ownership picture. He said his source, who is part of the ownership group texted him and told him this news.

I tweeted to a few people, NOT ROC, and said why should people even believe this radio personality.

Roc replied to this tweet that was not even to him and called me out saying I was a bad fan. He DM'ed me saying that I should unfollow him if I don't like it and then he promptly unfollowed me so I could not respond to his DM. He tweeted that I was being a keyboard warrior and he wanted to meet in person. Mind you all these tweets have now been deleted.

I told him I would love to meet up with him and tweeted him 3 times asking him where and when we could meet and he never responded.

Several days ago Roc also tweeted that he was not going to tweet about Coyotes news again because of all the haters. So then he still tweets news and then gets upset when people question his sources.

For the record, I have never questioned Roc's commitment to the team nor his status as a fan. I am not mad because he seems to think he is just the messenger of bad news. I am pissed because he said I was a bad fan and called me out to meet and then deleted the tweets about it and unfollowed me so I could not respond to his DM's and still has not told me where and when we are going to meet up.

Ps. Hey Roc, Anytime and anyplace I will be there to meet up with you. I will say EVERYTHING I have tweeted to your face. Will you do the same??? I am waiting.

Geoff
