Seriously? People aren't really that stupid are they? I haven't exactly followed Brian Burke's career prior to his joining the Flames, but I've heard him use the "________ can't even spell __________" line many times and never once thought he was literally saying that the person was too stupid to spell a simple word.

Sounds like a beat writer trying to make a name for himself publishing things he said he would not.

That's the thing that baffles me about the reaction to what Burke said. Burke was the one defending Ryan and arguing for his inclusion on the roster.
