"KEEP THE TEAM IN PITTSBURGH? WTF!" BASILLIE SAID. "NFW! NFW!"WATERLOO, Ontario - Jim Basillie, Chairman of Research in Motion, the company that makes the BlackBerry wireless device, is buying the Penguins for an undisclosed amount.
This news source asked Basillie for an interview, and the text messaging pioneer suggested a face-to-face meeting so that he could provide detailed responses to our inquiries. Our reporter traveled to Ontario and met with Basillie in his office Wednesday night.
We asked Basillie if he planned to keep the team in Pittsburgh, and he responded: “WTF! Did you say Pittsburgh? ROTF! NFW! NFW.”
We asked Basillie if he is married. "G/f," he responded.
We asked him if he had a game plan to improve the team in the foreseeable future. He said: "IMO, NFW."
Would there be any changes at all that the average fan would notice when he took over? "SOS," he replied.
After two minutes and ten seconds, our reporter rose and thanked Basillie for his time. Basillie shook his hand. "THX," he said. "TTFN."
