I don't watch tons of games, but I've really gotten to like Doris Burke as a basketball analyst. Caught the Notre Dame-Duke game with Sean McDonough and it was smooth. She doesn't go overboard, keeps calm and tells you what is happening, and McDonough is a pro. Many guys probably reject her just because she's female, but I'd rank her among the best analysts today.

Doris is very smart and knows her sports but like others when watching a sporting event I prefer to hear a male voice on my tv. Except for women's sports and or golf. Female sideline reporting is an absolute waste of time and done strictly for political reasons.

I'm as far from a feminist as anyone here has ever met, but I kind of like her. I think Sean Mcdonough is the best out there. Also, I agree the female sideline reporters are bogus. Can't understand them and I'm glad I can't.

Sideline reporters are bogus, but she does a good job explaining what is going on as an analyst. Just my opinion.

She's good.....I will take her over Vitale or most of the other nitwits. Jim Calhoun could be worst of all time.

Name a black you dislike?

And Dick Vitale does suck.

Oj simpson, Kanye west, Gary Payton, Michael Jordan, Bill Cosby, Mike Vick, Michael Irvin, Warren Sapp. I'm sure the list is longer.....but I hate them for who they are as people .....not because they are black or have underdeveloped frontal cortex.

Anybody that knows basketball will know that Doris is good and knows her shit. Very prepared and much better than half the other clowns doing these games.

I'm not saying that she doesn't know basketball, I'm just saying I find her annoying. Her voice, her face... And I'm clearly not the only one:

Yeah.....you can find a group of people that hate on Twitter all day on everybody.

You don't really see her face more than once or twice on a broadcast. I don't find her annoying and think she actually knows the game and doesn't try some gimmick catch phrase non stop like these other goofs. I'm not saying she's best there is but she's better than many.
