Great presser. He'll have a job sooner than later, though after being the Leafs GM and his opinion of the power, cache and pull that provided him, its either going to be a bigger market, or, complete and full control of a lesser franchise top to bottom to fufill that sense of importance.
As for Simmons, I am sure Burke even had reservations about saying that, simply because he knows that he's giving Simmons the extra attention that Simmons crave and has made his career on.
He's spent and made his career stirring the pot with some misguided opinion and trying to get under the skin of those who don't do as he likes, from his time at the Herald back in the 80's. But I think it was an exceptional amount of disgust Burke has for him, and couldn't hold that back at the last opportunity he was forced to have to take questions from him.
