So at the end of the day, if you ask any major news outlet what they'd prefer between making money and their local sports team winning, it'll be the money.

If that was the case, then Shanahan and Lou would’ve been crucified by now for the terrible last place finish they had in 2016. Well they didn’t and they’re receiving tons of praise for how the team has been built. They want a winner, what they weren’t interested in was mediocrity and they let Burke know it. His questionable decisions and churlish attitude ultimately lead to his demise in Toronto and he was basically ran out of town. It ended on a bitter note so I’m not surprised he’s lashing out on them. But he certainly has his share of the blame as well in my opinion.
