Look, I'm just going to be blunt about this -- why is a woman calling this basketball game?
Aw man, I missed the first half.
And there needs to be more of that.
But who is she? I have no idea who she is. Why should I take her opinion on basketball whatsoever?
If I'm going to have a fucking talking head telling me what's happening in a game I'm watching, I want to at least be assured that talking head knows more about basketball than me. Is she like a women's coach or some shit at least?

I assume she's qualified or how else would she have got the fucking job?

Do you know the quals of every male announcer?
Good work, celery. She's on the line, now just yank up really fast, and let her run it out a bit before you start reeling her in...

I do, generally, yeah, on name recognition alone (Jeff Van Gundy, Hubie Brown, Reggie Miller, Bill Walton, Greg Anthony, Marc Jackson, etc. etc. etc. who doesn't know their resumes?).
I guess she's a pure analyst through and through. Now that I've gotten over the effect of trying to figure out if a female was indeed calling the game, I guess I can listen to see if she's actually any good or not.
For the NBA 95% of them are ex coaches and ex players.
This woman spouts cliches constantly. She is not very good at her job.
Word I didn't like her that much either, but that's just bad announcing from anyone.
And sorry to get up in arms but as a sports likin gal it hurts me that so very very very few female announcers make it off the sidelines where they have the glorious job of eliciting retarded soundbytes from coaches as they go into the locker room at half time.

Or getting assaulted by Joe Theismann. Or shamelessly hitting on Tom Brady.
Look, I'm all for having females have meaningful sports analysis roles -- but here's the thing, I've met exactly ZERO women who can really hang in a hardcore sports nerd conversation. Some girls can keep up, but they generally can't relate to that deep, deep, super nerdy obsession with numbers and history and gossip and everything else that a certain section of the male population is afflicted with.
I mean I elbowed a girl in the nose before for annoying me with her Laker "fandom." I expect certain qualifications to be able to join in the conversation.
No offense, Medo -- I know you know more sports than 95% of the boys on this board, but then again I don't know just how geeky you can get on the topic. Cuz with hardcore sports nuts ... it goes deep ...

Obviously I don't know, but if I had to wildly guess, I'd say that ESPN would have their pick of any female basketeer they wanted to call a playoff game, because there's not a glut of premier jobs out there for them, and could get some top notch chicks.
I wouldn't be mad at all with a female coach calling a game, but I don't really want some lame tokenism.
I'll listen -- if she's good, she's good, but I just spent the last two minutes of the quarter figuring out if indeed it was a woman calling the game. Like, what? That's happening? When did that happen and why wasn't I notified?
