And it’s got nothing to do where he spends most of the time, sounds like he’s in Calgary a fair bit, was in the Dome during the timing of the stick throw from that interview. Doesn’t have to even be a sit down interview with a local media guy, even a phone call to ask him his thoughts. He seems to have no problem talking about the team with the Easten guys, is he just not being asked by the local crew?
It might be a case of Burke letting Treliving deal with the local media while he handles some of the requests from the outside media. Just a division of labour situation so Treliving can concentrate on the more important aspects of the job.
