Now that ESPN has taken over XM College I had to listen to 5 minutes of how good she was and if I didn't like it I was a problem.


I don't stay up for that game and could care less if women do announcing.

Just curious what board thought. Is this a poliboard question?

Her voice sucked when she was doing MAC and big east football games...it still sucks now. Has nothing to do with her being a woman and everything to do with it sounding like nails on a chalkboard.

Why is it that a lot of the female broadcasters have husky (and I don't mean in a sexy way) voices? It just doesn't work in a broadcast booth. They just sound like dikey former softball players.

She sucked but probably was the best on on the broadcast team that night.

Rex was awful and Sergio was .................................

Agreed. It was a bottom of the barrel type broadcast team that you would expect to hear doing FIU vs Prarie View, not the MNF game. Athough, in fairness, Berman considerably lowered the bar for that west coast doubleheader game when he was doing it so it wasn't shocking

I don't find her as bad as most make her out to be.

She isn't great but there are and have been worse at calling games.

Part of commentating is letting the fans feel of what's going on a particular play i.e, big plays, big hits, turnovers. She doesn't have the voice for that.

People don't want to speak out against her bc she's a woman and that would appear to be anti progressive. But as a football announcer, she's not good at the job. She just happens to be a woman.

The game is on TV so this is not that important.

I think she does a good job on the air. She is not Marv Albert or Al Michaels but she is competent and well prepared. The fact that she held the MNF broadcast together with a buffoon as a color analyst and sideline reporter who would be barely qualified to cover a HS game was pretty impressive.

She's way better than the shite we get for Saints games when they are losing.

She was bad and Rex was probably worse. He had no idea when to start analysis of a play. There were quite a few awkward moments where neither would say anything for a few seconds.

I only watched the first quarter.

Yeah I think her call is good enough. She's not good or really bad. Her voice is just grating to me in a job that requires her to speak for 4 hours.
