Deserves its own thread.

On or about the dates and times set out in Schedule “A”, the Defendants, individually or
jointly, wrote and published, or caused to be published the following defamatory
statements about and concerning the Plaintiff (the “Defamatory Statements”):
-----
Contrary to popular belief, the reason for Burke's firing was not his willingness to pull off the
Roberto Luongo trade….
- THIS PART WAS OMITTED FROM THE CLAIM DESPITE BEING THE BEST PART -
Brian Burke outside of hockey is somewhat of a Hound, akin to that of a white Tiger Woods.. Burke has been through two marriages, the latest of which is now on the rocks. Combine this with the greatest of personal tragedies as his son announced he was Gay, only to be killed in a car accident shortly thereafter. So therapeutically, Burke is now enjoying to the fullest extent what little time he has left by hopping into the sack with as many wayward Ditchpigs as possible.
Rogers Sportsnet’s Hazel Mae certainly plays the field as well. Her marriage to minor league baseball player Kevin Barker is widely regarded as a sham. Her career took her to Boston where she was the Anchor Hog for The New England Sports Network and the Major League Baseball Network. While there, she took the time to grease the poles of many of the Boston Red Sox players.
Well it didn't take long for Brain Burke [hilariously sic] and Hazel Mae to hook up. In the summer of 2012,
Sportsnet removed her from the glass desk because she wouldn't fit, insisting that she stand while
on air. The reason she wouldn't fit is that she was pregnant. She became so dishevelled looking as
the summer wore on that Sportsnet sent her home while they decided how to handle the impending
scandal.
Scandal, you say? Well yessirr......The father could have been any number of worthy candidates,
but the lucky dad is, in fact, our very own Brian Burke.
So splashdown was back in December. Hazel and Burkie have been at odds as to if, how and when
to release the news. Sportsnet still doesn't know what to do with her. On the other hand, new
owners of the Toronto Maple Leafs in Bell Canada have little, if any, tolerance for egotistical.
belligerent, sex-addicted senior executives and decided to eliminate the problem by gassing
