I really can’t stand listening to Doris on the call. All she does is drool over the superstar of the team and ignores the rest of the game. Bad move by ESPN IMO

Do we really need to listen to Doc’s voice for 2 hours? He doesn’t have a pleasant voice for TV.

Going from JVG to Doris Burke is a MASSIVE downgrade. 🙁

Just don’t understand why they want a shitty product, like going out of their way to make it worse.

When she first started, she was interesting. But someone told Doris she was a deep thinker and now she tries to make over-the-top observations on every single player’s greatness and her little monologues are mostly cringe. It’s just awkward now. She regressed as an announcer, just like Tony Romo did.

I can’t listen to Docs voice, idc what he’s saying just the sound of his voice is enough to mute.
Machine_Dick
I would rather hear any other voice other than Doris

Doc was actually really good with ABC before getting hired by Boston

Come on ESPN your stuff sucks.. use the homer ass local commentators for each team’s home games. At least those folks have a narrative and know the teams!

doc’s voice should automatically disqualify him from broadcast jobs.

Why can’t we just have people who are actually trained in media presentation instead of former players?
