Mike Commodore really is an Uber driver

A quick look at Mike Commodore's Twitter feed over the weekend may have confused fans of the former NHL defenseman.

As it turns out, Commodore actually is spending time driving folks around Scottsdale, Arizona.

"I'm single, I've got no kids, I was just looking for something to get me out of the house and keep me out of the bars," Commodore told TSN's Bob McKenzie. "I don't really do too much except play golf or go to the bar, so I figured this would be a good social thing for me.

"I don't mind driving. I like to meet people and I like to talk to people. I'll definitely do it again, one night a weekend or maybe even during the week."

Commodore appeared in 484 career games from 2000-2012, including a stint in Columbus, which proved to be a talking point.

As told to McKenzie:

I asked them where they're from and they say, 'Columbus,' and I say, 'I used to live in Columbus.' They asked me what I did and I told them I played hockey. They say, 'For who?' I say, 'The Blue Jackets. They thought I was full of s--- and asked me what years, so I told them.

They say, 'So you know Rick Nash then?' I say, 'Yeah, Rick is a good friend.' They say, 'What about Jared Boll?' I say, 'Yeah, I know Jared...I can do the whole roster if you like. Why don't you just look me up?'

Perhaps he'll be able to talk hockey with another passenger soon.
