What dialog do women announcers inject in sports that is the same as what you get from your wife?

The announcers for the LSU regional had a 15 minute discussion about corn dogs the other day.

Nah I’m good with it. It shows that WNBA players for who they really are and were able to watch in real time as they self-sabotage.

Imagine if some random player said in a Presser that people watch the NBA to see him and not Michael Jordan.

I agree 100%...can't stand the sound of Beth "moans" voice....every time I hear say something it makes me think she's doing an impersonation of a male broadcaster from the 1950s calling a Yankees game.

Plus so many on this board were defending Clark like she was the greatest player in any sport in history now have egg on their face.

Smarter than Bird
Better range than Curry
Will average 40
Better passer than Magic or John Stockton
Could play with the men.
Etc.
All look like idiots

It's unwatchable.
My daughter was watching NCAA softball when I came home the other day. I immediately changed the channel. If it's not LSU women's sports then I could not care less. And even then I only care a little bit.

I'd agree with you but the Clark situation is kinda a car wreck at the moment and people are slowing down to rubber neck a bit. They are probably getting some clicks from the drama. Ad rates suck right now and if they can pull some dollars from running another story about the white gal getting fouled hard by black gals, they are going to push it.

ESPN has to get women interested in sports or it’s going to die.
The harder they push, the more their core audience will drop. I already DON'T follow most professional sporting events/teams anymore, and college is on the edge.

Every year, they've gotten less from me and my closest buddies. Less jersey sales, pay-per-view, attendance and most of all ... caring.

ESPN is owned by Disney. What did you expect from the clowns killing Star Wars?

This is a fantastic description of her horrendous commentating. She is the absolute worst

It starts in August. That's enough to say two months for me.

College Football starts in two months. Can we not get any news related to that??


Summer is always a void for sports media. Baseball just goes on quietly and people who like it just interact with it passively and infrequently. NBA will be done shortly.

They got nothing until August.

I personally don't understand why anyone listens or goes to ESPN unless it's to watch a game, or get stats for a game.
