I have a lot of respect for Doris Burke

I know some people like to bash her. That kind of happens when a woman covers men's sports.

But really, she's better than a lot of people want to give her credit for. She's a credible, solid analyst. She doesn't yell and scream. She's thoughtful and respectful. She doesn't go out of her way making stupid comments to add personality. She leaves that to guys like Van Gundy.

Plus, she's all over the country covering both college and NBA basketball. She's both an analyst and a floor reporter (or whatever its called). So, basically she does a lot of the **** work and then when her name is called to be an analyst, she's solid.

Thoughts?

I don't mind that she's a woman. I just don't like the way she sounds. Doesn't have a favorable voice, I don't know what it is.

This, but I respect her opinion as she usually brings some good insight.

However, ESPN must find some way to ban Hannah Storm from all these pre-game, halftime, post game shows. This has to happen.

She gets the Sprite Spark Award for coming out in this third quarter continuing her run.

Agreed. Hannah Storm needs to go!
