    She's not bad looking and is actually one of ESPN's better announcers. Way better than the clowns like Laphonzo.

    She's doing the games because she's one of the ESPN basketball announcers.

    A better question would be why she's employed by ESPN.

    Think Burke is is a pretty good announcer. Does her homework and knows the teams she is broadcasting. But like most announcers, more is better. Keep the stories short. Let the game be the star.

    Doris Burke and her partner are busy defending the RU/SJU officials during the UConn/Pitt game. Talking about how great they are, how many final four games they've refereed.

    The guy says "possible travel, possible out of bounds..."

    Yeah, so according to him, it was a debatable call and they shouldn't get so much heat. GTFO.

    SHE IS THE WORST.

    Cheryl Miller is the only good woman announcer.

    Erin Andrews is a bombshell (if she is still around).

    But this chick announcing the Pitt/UConn sounds like a man so it doesn't really bother me.

    Not watching the Pitt game, but it's really funny if the announcers are sticking up for the refs in the Rutgers game. They spent 10 minutes after the game yesterday with stop camera shots proving that the refs were wrong. Wonder if pressure has come down from the Big East and ESPN to change their story.

    They were not defending those refs, Doris stated 'im not softening my stance'

    It's just time to move on, nobody was as heated as i was but its over...

    Too much "girl power" in general going around nowadays...trying way too hard in my opinion.

    I get it, women can do what we can, ok, fine...how about the pissing standing up thing though? have they mastered that yet?

    She's not a bad colour person. She has less flubs than most colour commentators. Give me the team of Gus Johnson/Len Elmore or Bill Raftery with any play by play guy for my money any day, though, they are the gold standard. I think she gets held to a higher standard (well, no duh), but clearly is more prepared than most Male colour commentators.

    She was a standout hoops star at Providence, knows the game like most of the men at ESPN that never laced up a pair of Nike's, well prepared, and if you can get past those meaty man hands of hers, she isn't that bad looking at all.

    I like her, a lot.
