Is Burke a little short with reporters? Yeah. Is his demeanor, or, perhaps more accurately, his public persona, and the subsequent terseness with the media, something that could use a little work? Personally, I think Burke has got it down to a finely-tuned skill (for better or worse), but Michael Langlois wonders [whether this gets a bit tiresome?](http://vintageleafmemories.blogspot.com/2011/04/never-ending-burke-hubris-does-anybody.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

My question is: do people tire sometimes of his seemingly constant edginess when asked certain things? And does it bother you that it’s always "on *my* teams, we always do this…" and "*I* always tell *my* players…"?

Not keen on debating Burke's public interactions? Head over the jump for playoff game recaps, news, and discussion.
