Here is a near word-for-word transcription of what I overheard two prominent Toronto sports media types say when the Leafs were in Calgary several years ago:
A: "That Lupul kid isn't very good."
B: "Yeah, I mean... I'd take him on my beer league team but it doesn't go much further than that."
A&B: <arrogant laughing>
A: "It doesn't help Ron (Wilson) is awful."
B: "I think we should try to get him fired."
A: "Yeah, we could put some stuff together."
Me: <mind blown GIF>
I know Burke can be... a little much for some people sometimes, but I've heard him speak about dealing with the media and the ONLY time I've heard him complain about it is with Toronto.
