    Best what?

    Honestly, I couldn't utter a single syllable of anything any woman has said on a sports program in my entire life.

    I simply do not care and pay zero attention to that shit.

    Most female sports reporters/broadcasters are hired for looks, but if we’re being honest, Doris Burke is probably one of the top 3-4 basketball broadcasters working today.

    I'm still trying to figure out the controversy. What she said has the appearance of truth. Is that the problem? You can't say true things if you have the wrong skin color?

    I’ll give some credit to guys like Schefter and Woz that have inside sources and break news. Sideline reporters that don’t do that and hosts of pregame shows are interchangeable and don’t matter.

    Ne'er heard of either.

    Srsly, turned on the M's game while doing some paperwork tonight, heard about 3 seconds of some Valley-Girl sounding idiot and "click" went the mute button.

    Plus, like always, the M's pitcher is getting fucking shelled in the first inning, 3-0, 1 out, man on first after a deep, deep, deep HR to left field.

    Just a typical day at Whatever the Fuck field in Pioneer Square.

    Nichols has been at ESPN for like 20 years. She has every right to defend her job and her assignments, from a performance-based perspective. The fact that some production assistant recorded an internal discussion and then delivered it to Taylor, who then leaked it to the media, tells you everything you need to know.

    The real story is not that Nichols got fired. That was predictable.

    What makes this most enjoyable is that Nichols was all "pro-woke" until it took something from her and then it became a problem.

    Nichols has long been a solid NBA reporter … she’s way more plugged/dialed in than Maria Taylor

    Doris is obviously good at what she does

    The long term female GOAT in the NBA is Jackie Mac
