I know I'm going to get dog piled on for this...

[stevenash]

I love Doris Burke.

There, I said it.

[VeggieDog]

Who is Doris Burke?

[bjb7223]

I love Doris Burke.

There, I said it.

[stevenash]

She's toned down her 'hip' act this year a lot, she's a terrific listen.

[Swaggy P]

Can't stand her personally. Not a transphobic person at all but she sounds like a goddamn man.

[stevenash]

Can't stand her personally. Not a transphobic person at all but she sounds like a goddamn man.

She played like a man at Providence too.
She's in the Big East Hall of Fame, holds the Big East record for most career assists.

But I hear you, she's an acquired listen, personally, I'll listen to her eight days a week over say a Sean McDonough.

[JIBBBY]

I hope you are trolling? If not I've lost all respect for you Steve with this thread start.

Doris is the WORST! I actually muted the game yesterday just to shut her hole up. If I were a 100 years old I still wouldn't bang her either.

She has no business calling games in the NBA! It's a mans sport and men should call it! Woke diversity at play here.

[Headsterx]

Yeah, I don’t know who she is. But of all the female commentators I have heard throughout the years they have all been horrible. They all need to go back to the sidelines.

[goduke]

In terms of what they put on tv, I’d much rather listen to her then any of the people they put on Apple TV baseball, every single nhl hockey announcer that is female including former players daughters and bill walton who is the worst of all time

[gauchojake]

Bill Walton is one of the goats.

[stevenash]

Bill Walton is one of the goats.

He loses me when he goes off on those hippie tangents of his.
Kevin Harlan is the best, hands down.

I could learn to like Gus if he wasn't so over the top hyperbolic.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

I love Doris Burke.

There, I said it.

Nashy, I respect your opinion. I gotta think about this one.

A few considerations. When I think about female commentators in sports, I think about the history:

*NFL Today. Phyllis George and Jayne Kennedy. They were initially there to do Human Interest stories, and they did a good job with that.

*ESPN. There have been a few studio hosts who did well. Gayle Gardner and Hannah Storm come to mind. Suzie Kolber has done well on NFL.

*NFL sideline reporters. It's a mix of male/female now. At one time, it was mostly Female. And it wasn't a coincidence that they were young and good-looking.

As for female sports-broadcasters that I truly enjoy LISTENING to, wow that's a tough one. I'll give you credit for Doris Burke. And I'll zip my mouth now.

The hippie tangents are the best part 😂😂

I respect Gus J but I find him to be my least favorite big name announcer. For some reason he drives me nuts.

I grew up with Chick, Vin, and Bob Miller. Everyone else is second tier or worse. Although Kevin Harlan does crack me up 😂

[stevenash]

I grew up with Costas, the list starts there and works down.
Harlan totally cracks me up, and the best thing is he doesn't take himself too seriously.

[funnyb25]

I would eat her ass as well Nashers

BOL

I list starts with mute button and either turn on simulcast on radio or play music.

She has man hands too.

I like Doris Burke too. I think she’s great.
If I see her calling the game I usually stick around and watch.

[JIBBBY]

Doris is like nails on a chalk board. You guys need to check yourselves before you wreck yourselves!

You could take an insane homeless bum off the street and he would say the same things Walton says. Think of it like this….imagine your most obnoxious friend….now imagine him on the couch with you narrating the whole game. Sounds fun

[texhooper]

Love Doris, Gus, and Walton. Anyone that doesn’t like Doris is just bringing sexist bias to the table. She breaks the game down on the fly better than any of the male analysts, who just show up and say “hand down man down” and other such nonsense

[gauchojake]

Doris is infinitely better now than a few years ago. I actually like her and would probably fukk as long as she didn't have fur panties.

[19th Hole]

Doris Duke is acceptable because she is not Holly Rowe...
Each sounds better when masked up for covid.

Maybe Nasher wants to do some home cooking with Doris as she is nearly his homeboy.

--------

Having grown up listening to Bob Uecker hilariously going on about fishing, playing days or quirky ball players when the game is safely out of hand makes me enjoy your dreaded Bill Walton for the offbeat treasure that he is.

Pretty fuckin’ sexist thing to say, for a man who talks about how racist people are in forumville.

ZOOM Got one flying across the bow.

[flyingillini]

I would pound her fallopians into an oblivion

[Swaggy P]

Anyone who wants to bang her definitely have some homosexual tendencies. Nothing wrong with that though.

[stevenash]

Easy there vaquero, I'm not saying I want to 'bang' Doris, she's not on my bucket list of women I want to tap before I go belly up and turn into worm food, that list starts with Carrie Underwood, and I'm pretty sure before that list ends you won't find Doris's name on it, (but I'd bet she's probably freaky nevertheless).

This is what I'm saying, I think she knows more basketball than half the dudes on these boards, and I think she's a good listen.

And by the looks of a few comments in this here thread, a few think so too.

Hey, reread the thread title, I knew I would get some dog piling, don't really care, it's just my opinion.

At the risk of sounding like Polly the Repeating Parrot, it's who I am, it's what I do, and if one doesn't agree or like my opinion, that's just fine and dandy, I welcome all sides, and like I always say, I'd rather be disliked anyway for who I am than liked for who I am not.
I also think those who don't like Doris don't like her for the wrong reasons, and I'm pretty sure if I opened up a few of your closets, I bet I would find a couple of skeletons in there.

(Just saying)

I would watch it if it were play by play by Dylan Mulvaney , Lia Thomas , and Cher . Just to see the Shit Show .

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Her announcing ability matches her looks.

How's your broadcasting career doing?

[DrunkHorseplayer]

It matches my looks but is well short of my bank account.

Don't mistake my tongue in cheek playful sarcasm for anything malicious by the way.

If one has to be in brodacasting to criticize then one should have to be in broadcasting to compliment.
