They’re fine as sideline reporters but the ones doing play by play or color all sound like Sgt Gunny Bricker from the tv show Major Dad.

Speaking of sports play-by-play guys, it takes zero talent to call baseball games on the radio. A Tom Leach has 100x more talent than say, Marty Brennamen.

Listening to Doris Burke slurp the NBA players and clutch her pearls when Rondo put his finger in some fan’s face and said fan pushed Rondo’s hand away has made me change my answer. Get her outta here.

And I’m not against Rondo in that situation, but the fan’s response was normal. And Doris acted like it was the year 1200 and the peasant fan touched royalty.

I don't care who announces but what gets me is chickball in general being shoved down our throats. I know they exist somewhere but I don't personally know a single person that likes or watches chickball because it is awful. Figure skating and volleyball are fine, but anything not involving them in skimpy outfits needs to be shelved ASAP as nobody cares or likes it.

What if it’s FRIED bologna?
Then hopefully the people that eat that abomination of a delicacy in Poorville, USA all have heart attacks and never get to show it to future generations and the cycle dies.

So I'm guessing most of you changed the voice on your Google maps?
Who listens to the voice? It talks every 4 minutes and is annoying as hell. Yes I know to keep straight on the highway lady. Plus, it interrupts my podcast way too often.

Basketball sucks to watch in slower speeds. So does soccer. That’s why the women’s product in those two sports is terrible. I think women’s softball, tennis and volleyball are great products to watch.

You’re a bartender in Key West
And I likely make more than you, maybe double, but why is that relevant?

I just took an unpaid month and a half off. Can you do that financially or job wise? SMD. Let us pray.

These pre game, halftime, and post game interviews are the most useless things ever.
The halftime interview is the MT Everest of usless things. These sideline reporters serve absolutley no purpose. Complete waste of time. Example:
Player X went down on that and appears to be getting medical attention. No kidding. There are cameras at these games and they are using one to film it. Just ridiculous.

I don't mind Burke, She knows her stuff.

If I didn't care about my future or retirement or things like that and my long-term plan is to rely on the government, than yeah. I could take a lot more than a month and a half off.

I didn’t expect a pecker measuring contest to break out on a thread about Women Announcers, but here we are.

My tape measure wasn’t long enough. Given it was like a Boy Scout one that did six at max.
