I don't think it's a male vs female issue at all. It's a C grade game being announced by a C grade analyst who happens to be a woman.

The bigotry around here is astonishing at times. You almost hope people just being cynical or funny but they are not.

Doris Burke is solid IMO.

I'll take her over cats like Reggie Miller, Mike Breen, Brent Musburger, Mike Tirico, Chris Broussard, and Magic Johnson any day of the week.

All of those dudes are star frickers and/or lazy shallow reporters that suck so much dick from current players its unwatchable to me.

It means that you go to a school that either has a very small, typically apathetic fan base or where football isn't the top priority.

I'd be more pissed off if Joey Galloway was calling the game than that chick.

What? I have a female announcer calling my game? You can take those millions of dollars and extra bowl practices and shove it then.

sorry but they annoy the hell out of me. Both act like giddy little school children and have thoughts easily directed by anyone who played at any point. They are the jarheads of the NBA punditry.

What does it say about you if you have a problem with female announcers?

If there's a female announcer that means it is a rinky dink bowl that needs the gimmick.

I'm no fan of the female announcers, but this is stupid.

How do you feel about Doris Burke? Seems like the MSB consensus is that she's an unintelligent lesbian who has no business on TV, but I think she's pretty good.


She is the exception. She's very good, mainly because she doesn't overdo it.

There are a lot worse out there than Mowens. Most females have a hard time pulling off sporting events because their voice just isn't fit for it, but she does a good job, technically.

Not so much that females can't do it. Just the ones that do suck at it.

Good points. I can listen to her over a lot of male announcers who annoy the hell out of me and cause me to hit the mute button.

Yeah, you have to get used to her voice a bit but she does a good job and knows as much as most males who do the same job. She doesn't take away from the game at all and would put her as a middle of the pack announcer of any gender.
