Satire: Burke at the draft. What TSN did not show you.

Quote:
(At the Leafs draft table.)
Dave Nonis: I saw you talking to Paul Holmgrem at the Flyers table. Did he have any interest in Kaberle?
Burke: Not yet, but give him a few minutes. I used an old psychological trick I learned in law school to plant a subliminal suggestion. The next time he hears the term "all-star defenceman", he won't be able to turn down any trade no matter how ridiculous.
Nonis: Wow.
Burke: It's foolproof. In a few minutes I'll walk back over, mention Kaberle, and he'll grab his ankles.
Nonis: Hey look, he's talking to Bob Murray.
Burke: Uh oh.
Nonis: They're shaking hands.
Burke: Son of a...

(Burke wanders by the Rangers draft table and runs into Glen Sather.)
Burke: Hey Glen, I need to feed the meter. Any chance you have change for a five?
Sather: Sure. How about six loonies?
Burke: That would be... wait, no.
Sather: Fine, fine. Four toonies?
Burke: No, Glen, it's a five, all I need is...
Sather: Nine loonies, five toonies, six quarters and a mint condition Franklin half-dollar. Final offer.
Burke: ...
Sather: Six years, $39 million.
Burke: Deal.

(Post-draft buffet spread.)
Burke: Not much left at the buffet.
Bryan Murray: Yeah, but there's still one piece of apple pie left. My favorite!
Burke: Apple pie is the one you want?
Murray: Yes.
Burke: Well, that's the one I'm going to take.
Murray: Oh for ...
Burke: (Nom nom nom.)
Murray: Stop doing that!

Plus more!

Thanks... apparently he really did walk around the draft with a floppy hat and his press pass flipped backwards. He's so sneaky.

At risk of sounding like a super fan, I really enjoy your blog and your tweets. You sir, have an excellent sense of humor.

Why do the nerds have to be fat to think this up? There are skinny nerds with senses of humour too, you know.

Oh, dear, I am so sorry. What I meant when I used the adjective "biggest" was not the size of the nerds physical appearence. I am truely and will be forever sorry if I offended anyone in this forum. I cannot tell you with any more conviction and passion that what I meant was to describe the degree of nerdiness, and only the degree.

Completely wrong.
DGB is a one-man operation. It's just one nerd, sitting around by himself. And instead of Risk, it's heavy drinking.

Was this cultivated through painstaking years of being a Leafs fan?
