Last week, Brian Burke filed a lawsuit against a handful of anonymous cowards who invented a bizarre fiction about his personal life and posted it on Web comment boards.

I won’t repeat the specifics of the lies they spread, for reasons that are probably obvious, but the thrust of the story was that Burke was fired as GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs because of his own moral failings, not because of the team’s performance or due to philosophical differences with ownership. In the interest of full disclosure, I can tell you that some of the lies involved a colleague of mine here at Sportsnet
