Doris was okay, but it seemed like the hipster thing several years ago to overpraise her as a hoops announcer. Just like some posters on here try to convince themselves Holly Rowe is some magnificent addition to a college football broadcast.

You are thinking of Beth Mowins. The Doris Burke of CFB.

Doris is great, but Legler is probably better. I enjoy listening to her, but I ain't mad at all.

Funny how people who claim to never watch the NBA are celebrating this move the most

She's mediocre

bullshite. Doris knows the game and analyzes smartly. You don't like her because she's a woman calling NBA games.

Doris was ok. Just seems like Doris Burke should be doing Clippers-Kings at 10:30 on a Tuesday night. Not the Finals.

Loved Doris as a sideline reporter, she was fantastic in that role. Not great as a color analyst, she very much knows her stuff but she doesn’t have the voice to match the intensity of the moment

I thought ESPN got rid of Pam Ward on football a long time ago?

Maybe it wasn't espn but I know I heard her call quite a few last season, including several bowl games.

I just checked 506 Sports earlier. And I didn't see her or Mowins working any games this week. Courtney Lyle is working an ESPNU game Saturday.

I actually liked Doris, but no complaints with Tim Legler being put in her spot.


That’s because he’s way better than her

Not too far behind are fricknuts like Jason McIntire who try to act as some authority on college football, especially SEC football. As soon as he opens his mouth about CF, it is cringy af. Not too mention his douchery.
