Great line by just fired pro sports GM...
 
Dejan Kovacevic ‏@Dejan_Kovacevic

Fired Leafs GM Brian Burke to Sun columnist Steve Simmons:


“The best part, Steve, is that I probably don’t ever have to talk to you again.”

Burke can be douche. He's probably got the biggest EGO for a GM in any sport. Smart guy, but sometimes should just shut his trap.

Burke was considered a coup IIRC for the Leafs to get him. I didn't follow what he did or didn't do I just found the timing of the firing to be curious. :)

Maybe a close second to Burke...this towns team (Sabres) way too long tenured GM Darcy Regier.

He used to GM my local team the Canucks, and did a fine job of taking them from the basement to a competitor. But he seems like a tough guy to get along with from owners and media side of things.
