[elocomotive]

Hahaha. I just assumed this was a joke thread and didn't even open it an hour ago. Can't believe this actually happened. Not that it totally shouldn't have, it's just surprsing.

to be fair (deported), this is the second time he has had to step in and clean up the turds Burke left on the floor on his way out the door because new ownership didnt like him

This is going to be a very interesting season in Toronto. I expect more than just the Luongo trade to occur because if they acquire Luongo the fans will expect the team to make the playoffs.

fucking toronto media asking Raptors questions at a Leafs conference ahha

Same here

Good, I've hated that fucker ever since he was the disciplinarian and gave LePuke that joke of a suspension for what he did to Drapes in 97, not to mention the whole "We're just a little Canadian team" whining bullshit in 02 when he was with the Nucks.

Fuck em.

that was ONE weird press conference. Nonis was shell shocked the whole time

Nonis cant be happy about this as Burke is his friend and like i more vulgarly explained above ... this is the second time an nhl franchise has told his friend to go jump off a tall bridge and he's (Nonis) been tabbed as the replacement

not a very appetizing way to become a gm imo


/very surprised Burke's ego is allowing him to stay on as a "special advisor"

Yesterday TFC Canned Manager Paul Mariner, today Brian Burke. If they get Colangelo tomorrow, thats a "Corporate Gordie Howe Hat-Trick!"

Dave Nonis has just traded Andrea Bargnani.
