Brian Burke at Giants Training Camp; Rex Ryan a Leafs Fan

ALBANY, N.Y. - Hey, wasn't that Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke?

Here at the New York Giants' training-camp?

Indeed it was.

Burke was a guest Monday of Kevin Abrams, the Giants' assistant GM — and a Canadian.

Abrams was raised in Toronto and earned an undergraduate degree at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ont.

Burke watched from areas restricted to the media on Monday as the Giants practised in pads for the first time. He walked near a group of reporters and photographers at one point, which is when we spotted him.

A Giants publicist confirmed Burke's presence and described it as a "professional friendly visit" with Abrams.

Rex Ryan probably won't be happy to hear about it.

The head coach of the Giants' crosstown arch-rivals, the New York Jets, grew up a huge fan of the Leafs.


If Burke is on the search for truculence, he'd sure find that and more at the Jets camp in Cortland, N.Y.

I'm confused by everything happening in this article.

1) We allow Canadians to work for us?
2) Canadians can do math?
3) Rex Ryan likes hockey?
4) Rex Ryan likes the Toronto Maple Leafs?
5) What is "professional friendly visit" code for?
6) Practised.
7) The Tornto Maple Leafs are still considered a professional hockey team?
8) YOU SOUND LIKE YOU'RE FROM LONDON.

That is all.
Brian Burke's at Giants camp?

that stupid Burke infected us all. I hate the Leafs...with a passion and Burke especially. He is an example of what not to be as a GM.
Aki Berg has been going to camp for years

As long he is not from Ontario Burke will consider.
I could be wrong

what isnt Burke american?

I always found that fascinating. An American gm in Toronto. They are so proud there it seems like sacrilege. and he's not even a good gm.
I'm actually surprised Burke & Rex arent best friends

neither has ever met a microphone they wouldn't slobber all over.

Of course maybe that's the problem right there - how could the two of them ever have a conversation without one always trying to talk over the other?
I wonder what other hockey teams
