Sports announcer Doris Burke is set to make history in Game 1 of the NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and the Dallas Mavericks. The game kicks off at 8:30 p.m., Thursday.

[Jim W N]

I love women. I just hate them trying to take over the men and boss men around. And I hate that men let them do it.

[9YearLurker]

National.

[9YearLurker]

How ignorant can you be? She’s worked hard and is at the top of her professional despite it usually being male dominated.

[Fuzz]

She’s doing play by play commentary for a sport. She’s not telling you to put down the toilet seat or brush your teeth.

She’s decent at it too.

[9YearLurker]

And so those men coaching women’s games?

Grow up!

[Jane Long]

Thx.

[Fuzz]

But she has lady parts and stuff. So wrong!

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

I have no issue in principle with a woman commenting on male sports. The reverse happens all the time.

But Burke uses a voice affectation that sounds like a woman trying to sound like what she thinks men sound like. It's annoying as hell.

[9YearLurker]

Double grow up!

Freepers can be such idiots.

[Fuzz]

Amazed you didn’t see the sarcasm.

[yesthatjallen]

"Maybe you coulda’ filled us in a little so we don’t have to go clicking on some unheard of minor website? Would maybe a line or two been too much to ask?"

Many posters believe we're psychic or are up to speed on every topic the poster is familiar with.

Vanity posts are the best. "I can't believe what I just saw on TV!"

[9YearLurker]

Thought you were looking for the double slap—sarcasm included.

[Fuzz]

Don’t get it. You sure you’re responding to the right person?

[Dr. Sivana]

The game kicks off at 8:30 p.m.

NBA games do not "kick off". That's football territory.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Mute the TV and turn on the radio. Much better game announcers on radio.

[Fuzz]

Wrong person then?

Slap me a third time?

[alstewartfan]

She is a terrible announcer with a tranny-like voice. From Kevin Harlan to Doris, you have a talent drop from 10 to 2.

[alstewartfan]

Time delays on TV to prevent that!

[dfwgator]

Watched about five minutes of it, realized right away that Boston will sweep the series.

[Fuzz]

If I were a gambler, I’d take that bet.
