Derek Wills is the biggest homer in Calgary as are some other guys on fan960.

Nice hyperbole, incorrect, but nice try. If you actually listened to what Burke said, he refuted exactly what you stated. He stated that media’s role is not to be cheerleaders. His ex-wife was in media so your comparison fall flat on its face.
With media, the sad reality is 90% of them give little more insight than a sizable number of people who post here. Calgary media has 3-5 personalities that are great & the rest are interchangeable plugs. I put Wills in the plug camp, for now.
He sells sunshine, partially because he’s trying to build rapport & trust with players over the long haul. Most of the players have been here longer than he has & he realizes that he’s dependent on his relationship with them to do his job.
