Chris Helein Speaks - Says Mort Got It Wrong

Heard back from Chris Heiien, chief of Skins PR - he says the players got every ticket they would normally get and in fact there were a few left over. He called the ESPN report "totally wrong," and said there no validity to it at all.

Obviously, we can't talk to the players while they are warming up, but if there was anything weird going on there is no way it wouldn't come out. Guys would tell me. Can't imagine the team would lie about this, given that very fact, and Helein, who has always been a straight shooter with me and has been great to work with, was confused as to how ESPN even got this info.

So there it is. Looks like a dead deal, and if it's not we'll address is again.

Enjoy the game.

Cheers.
