To your left is Doris Burke, who is running color tonight for ESPN's coverage of the Hornets v. Spurs. She's been working sidelines on "Big Monday" (college hoops) for the past three or four years, and done a fine job. We hate all sideline reporters not named Craig Sager (and his technicolor dream coat) because really, their jobs are ridiculous and unnecessary, but we've found a soft spot for Ms. Burke. Not only does she hold a striking resemblance to our date for the Sr. Prom (hey, she had a great personality), but she really knows what she's talking about. We are huge basketball fans who pride ourselves in our immense knowledge of basketball strategy, and we give it up to Doris -- she knows her shit. Couple that with her transparent love for the game and decent wit, and we've got a great analyst. The chauvinist in us wants to write her off as a quota-filling skirt, but talent is talent. Cheers Doris!!!
