Nice backtrack. You need a serious prescription for that foot in mouth disease.
Should probably just admit you asked a stupid question and be done with it.
Not a backtrack - your sense of logic is severely lacking. As I clearly explained, a lot of media "know people" but knowing people doesn't mean they have an inside scoop.
Remember, the Rangers chose not to keep him. He is not a Rangers insider.

wow you actually think he doesnt know all the people in the front office and the players and staff? He has been with the team for almost a decade, he is extremely well liked.
I really dont even understand your position. Its completely foolish.
Didn't I specifically say "of course he knows people"?
Didn't I specifically say that a lot of media folks also know people, and go on to explain that just becaue the media knows people doesn't mean they have knowledge of all the internal discussions and plans?
Perhaps you should go back and read.
Are you really blind to how the media deals in rumor and speculation, and depend on convincing people like you they have a source that allows them to know all. Are you really blind to how often they are wrong?
And, as I mentioned, look at what Lewin said. He made a statement that is almost certain to be true and any half *****, half brained joe on the street could have made, and he made you believe that it was inside info.
It's like the televangilist who starts preaching to "someone out there who is feeling lonely today - who may have lost a job or a loved one - who may be experiencing financial or health difficulties". He has made broad statements that apply to 2/3 of the population, yet he convinces enough mindless people that he knows something about them specfifically that they send him enough money to get rich.
I'll grant you Lewin has much more access than fans, and I'm sure he is well liked, but once again, the Rangers CHOSE not to retain Lewis, and Lewis is not a Rangers insider.
