I mean I'd take a female who knows her shite over Cris fricking Collinsworth, but no one complains when he calls a super bowl like shite

This thread is an example of why it doesn’t matter who the commentator is more than half the people watching will hate them.

I didn't mind the woman (Aly Wagner?) on the game today, but I'm curious what the soccer diehards thought. Not thrilled with the studio girl, though.

Pretty much every female announcer/reporter in other sports gets destroyed on the MSB except Doris Burke.

I didn't have any problem with Wagner. Haven't watched enough of the studio stuff to have an opinion.

It's an apples and oranges comparison honestly, Collingworth knows his shite, but isn't great at calling a game and has a shite voice

Collingsworth has aged, so has his voice.
He never calls the games.
I disapprove of his venture into political commentary during games. Kissing owner butt.

I think Doris Burke is well liked perhaps. but people on MSB still lose their shite every time she is calling a big CFB game


It’s not Doris Burke that’s doing those college football games. The name escapes me, but she sounds a lot like Burke.

Burke is very well respected. The woman that does those early espn college football games is good too, but everyone shits on her just because she’s a woman.

I think Doris just does college basketball and some NBA.

I think the woman who does the football games is Pam Ward.

God Crespo was cringe. I'm sure he's fine in Spanish, but his English is terrible.
